Resideo Reveals Next Generation Of Water Filters To Help European Installers Keep Pace With Changing Drinking Water Regulations

20 March 2025 Resideo, a leading global provider of solutions for home comfort, water and energy management, security and safety, is revealing at ISH 2025 a new, broad range of lead-free water filters that will start to be introduced to the European market over the summer to help installers maintain and grow their business in a changing compliance landscape.

This will be welcome news to the two out of five German installers (41%) ¹ who told the company that they are finding it difficult to keep up with changing drinking water regulations. The specific regulations² that German - and European - installers are navigating are the minimum hygiene requirements for materials, including lead, that come in contact with drinking water. In Germany for example, water management products that come into contact with drinking water must comply with a reduced lead limit from 10 to 5 micrograms per litre from the 12 January 2028 onwards.

"It has never been more important that professional installers are future-ready when it comes to the drinking water management products that they are installing in their customers' homes and businesses - and we know that keeping pace with the changing regulations can be challenging for some installers." said Sylvain Baladon, Global Water Product Director at Resideo. "The new generation of filters will offer a great solution. As well as being manufactured with lead-free materials, they also come with a modern design and ease of installation that installers can rely on."

Resideo's water management products are designed for quality and reliability. Developed and produced in Mosbach, Germany, today's portfolio is backed by decades of expertise in creating water distribution solutions and comes with a five-year warranty³.

The new lead-free water filter range will offer:

• The next generation of well-known products such as: the HS10S water supply unit F74CS and FK74CS filter & combination and F76S reverse rinsing fine filter.
• All of the range will be made with lead-free materials that comply with the new lead-content limits outlined in the upcoming Trinkwasserverordnung, a package of measures coming from the European Drinking Water Directive.
• A new modern design.

The new products will start to be available on the European market from this summer. The introduction will start with Germany, with other countries at later dates. For more information on Resideo's European Water solutions visit, https://www.resideo.com/emea/en/solutions/water/
