German term or phrase: Appetitlich!
Dies ist der Titel einer Werbebroschüre. In der Broschüre wirbt eine Firma, die Wasser für die Gastronomie aufbereitet (für Hochleistungsgeschirrspüler, für große Kaffeemaschinen usw.) für das Wasser aus ihren Wasseraufbereitungsanlagen.

Appetitlich bedeutet hier also nicht nur "lecker" (das Essen, das in der Gastronomie zubereitet wird), sondern auch "schön sauber" (auf das gespülte Geschirr bezogen), "nicht eklig" (d.h. keine Kalk- und Schleimablagerungen in den Maschinen), "hygienisch".

"Delicious" bezieht sich vielleicht zu sehr auf den Essensaspekt, "Appetizing" ist vielleicht als Schlagzeile für einen Prospekt nicht so geeignet. Vorschläge?

Leicht andere Richtung, aber zumindest ein bescheidenes Wortspiel. In anderen Ländern ist Spaß im Geschäft ja auch nicht so verpönt wie bei uns...

Purely appetizing!


Explanation:
I think "appetizing" is actually OK. This approach emphasizes the "clean" aspect of the water.

agree  i8a4re: This might work, Sonja... although "appetizing" still focusses only on food and beverages and not on having clean dishes etc.

wholesome


Explanation:
i.e. promoting health

I'd steer clear of e.g. tasty, delicious etc. as it's not just water for drinking, but also e.g. for dishwashers.

purely water!


Explanation:
I think you have to get a bit "poetic" with this one.
Otherwise I like "pure pleasure" the best but it takes a away from the "hygienisch" und "sauber" aspect.
