Instruction manual available at: www.laica.it/manuals
The GlaSSmart™ filter bottle is designed to treat drinking water.
Thanks to the FAST DISK™ filter, the
GlaSSmart™ glass filter bottle instantly filters mains drinking water, improves the taste and retains the mineral salts
naturally present while reducing some unwanted substances that may be present. Thanks to the silver-coated activated
carbon technology, the filter effectively reduces chlorine, pesticides, microplastics and chlorine-based organic solvents.
FAST DISK™ filters are made in Italy and are always sterilised.
