The word "drinking water hose" says a lot about ACQUA/ADT-K - but not everything. There’s much more to the name than meets the eye. And in many ways, it's not just another model in the category.

As type, the drinking water hose often plays a central role in many production companies in the food industry. It must not only transport water but do so in a way that ensures high hygiene without affecting taste, odor or quality. For this reason, both its construction and properties often have to meet high requirements.

ACQUA/ADT-K stands out not only in terms of its construction and application, but also the coveted KTW-BWG and KTW certifications, making it arguably one of the best hose solutions in the category.

ACQUA/ADT-K is a food-approved drinking water hose made of technopolymer (TPE) and reinforced with a high-strength textile inner layer. The construction is free of ingredients and materials of animal origin and is ozone and weather resistant. The exterior is blue and smooth.

Temperature-wise, ACQUA/ADT-K can handle up to 90°C under normal production conditions, but briefly up to 120°C when sterilizing in open circuits. At 20°C, the hose supports a working pressure of up to 20 bars and a burst pressure of up to 60 bars. The bending radius varies between 70 and 300 mm depending on the dimension.

ACQUA/ADT-K is a reliable hose solution for hygienic drinking water transportation in the food industry and meets the highest quality and safety standards. In other words, you get a drinking water hose in a class of its own. In addition, it can be used for CIP cleaning and is therefore also suitable for industrial applications that require regular cleaning and maintenance. The combination of strength, flexibility and ease of use makes it easy to install, even in areas with limited space.

Quality and safety go hand in hand when it comes to drinking water hoses. ACQUA/ADT-K meets the strict requirements of both KTW-BWG and KTW, which are among the most recognized certifications in the category. But what do they include and why are they important?

KTW-BWG - German standard for safety and quality  
The KTW-BWG certification sets the bar high. It combines the requirements of KTW (Kunststoffe im Trinkwasser) and BWG (Bundesamt für Wasserwirtschaft) to ensure that the materials of construction of the drinking water hose meet stringent German standards. With a focus on both health and durability, the certification sets high requirements for everything from raw materials to production. This guarantees you a safe and high-quality hose solution.

KTW - Focus on the health safety of materials
The KTW certification is a targeted standard that focuses on how contact materials affect the quality of drinking water. It helps to ensure that factors such as taste, odor and the release of harmful substances are kept under control. Although KTW is not as comprehensive as KTW-BWG, it’s a basic prerequisite for food-approved process equipment in the category. This way, your safety is paramount with ACQUA/ADT-K.
