On 29th November 2018, the jury announced the winners of the Villeroy & Boch Culinary World Cup.

When it comes to boosting our body’s defences in preparation for winter, everyone has their own tried-and-tested solution. Some people swear by the effects of contrast showers - alternating hot and cold water, while others prefer a warm bath. But whatever your choice, in most cases, the bathroom plays an essential role in our personal health and wellness programme.
They are the most important component of daily hot tub hygiene: filters in hot tubs provide a consistently clean and pleasant bathing experience. The new Villeroy & Boch systems with screw-on filter basket make the filtering process even safer and more convenient.
The new filter baskets remain in the suction area when the filter is replaced, ensuring that small parts cannot be sucked into the piping system. This not only protects the pump from small parts, but also makes it safer for children bathing in the hot tub. Water care products such as dispensers with disinfectant can be stored in the filter basket.
The novel combination of filter basket and filter was developed by Villeroy & Boch and is patent pending. The new system is now standard in all Villeroy & Boch hot tubs. If one wants to retrofit their old spa, they simply need one filter basket per filter element – and are back at the cutting edge of technology in hot tub hygiene.
