Like a lot of recipes, these muffins call for water. I’ve learned that baking and cooking with filtered water impacts the flavor of most recipes. There’s nothing like using clean water that is free of impurities to enhance the taste of any food. It’s no mystery why most restaurants use filtered water in their cooking and baking.

Looking for a great filter for your kitchen tap?  WaterTech’s RO PureMAX II Reverse Osmosis System can improve the taste and odor of your water.  The RO PureMAX II will reduce or remove total dissolved solids (TDS) and most impurities including chlorine. You’ll immediately notice how the RO PureMAX II will make your beverages, ice and everything you cook consistently taste better.

The RO PureMAX II is sold through authorized WaterTech dealers.
