questions
Can I use the Philips pure water dispenser to
purify well/bore water?
Yes. The pure water dispenser was designed to
purify drinkable water from e.g. municipal water
sources, wells or bores. It is not intended to purify
lake water, river water, sewage water or other
types of untreated water. If you use well/bore
water, we recommend that you have your water
tested regularly.

substances such as particulates and chlorine, thus
improving the taste, odour, and clarity of the water.
