Boots Own Water Filter

Advantages: all of the above - plus never having to buy bottle water. I use it in the steamer too and it doesn't fur up as quickly
Disadvantages: easy to forget to change the filter. You soon know by the taste and appearance of hot drinks

...We decided on a Boots own filter as my sister in law has one, and they have never had any problems with it. It was about £14 to buy and came with 2 spare filter cartridges for hard water. You soak wash the jug out, then soak a filter in the water so it can expel any trapped air bubbles. You then slot the filter into the hole, reset the counter to zero (this measures how many times the jug has been filled up, so you know when to replace the filter). ...
...you are away. Our jug holds about a litre of water, I am not sure if they do bigger or smaller ones. We wanted a slimline shape as it fits in the fridge better. When you first fill up the jug, the water is all murky with them little bits floating in it like dust. When it has filtered through, the water is crsytal clear (delicious when chilled).

On hot days this product is a star, you put it in the fridge and nicely chilled water comes out. I don't like the taste of tap water when it has that strong chlorine taste on rare occasions. I tried the water on its own ...
...knowing that the water is good for you is a bonus because all of the bad chemicals (e.g. chlorine) are taken out through the filter. My only complaint about an amazing product such as this one is that the filters can be expensive to keep replacing, and there is nothing wrong with tap water anyway (or so I have been told). This product is a must for every household, it can be used all of the time and tastes lovely. In summer, it saves making ice ... Read review

Advantages: Nice tasting water again
Disadvantages: cartridges are maybe a little expensive, lid/filter holder falls out if tipped too far

...ready to use. The Boots cartridges are about £3.50 each, for either hard or soft water, and there are multipacks available too. When I bought my jug, Boots had an offer on, three for two, on the cartridges so I stocked up. From what I've heard and read, Boots do this quite often, but I thought I'd be prepared. Always thought these things were a bit of a gimmick until I bought one, but I can highly recommend them. ... Read review
