Breville Aqua Fountain

I hate water. Tap water that is. To drink. I just find it bland and, well, nothing. Water, of course, is a giver of life. When we water the gardens the flowers grow again, when it rains our reservoirs are refilled and the crops are revived. More than half of the human body is made up of water and, of course, we need to drink the stuff to keep ourselves hydrated. The trouble is it's bland enough on its own and it's even worse if you live in an area where your water is hard. Kettles become scaled, water marks are left on glasses and an awful taste is left in your mouth when you've drunk it. Then ... more

---------Just a little background…….-------------- …….there's got to be an easier way…….i remember muttering half way across my local supermarket car park with a trolley that was so heavy it needed power steering to move it. OK, it had been a particularly bad day, my trolley had one of those dodgy wheels where you just find yourself turning left all the time and end up embarrassingly going around in circles while trying to stay cool and collected. Just previous to that, the same day, a lady had reversed into my car door and left me with something to remember her car by (don't even get me ... more

I know in some places the tap water is fine but in my house it sometimes comes out a little murky at first and does't taste too good. I've tried various fridge water filters and they were ok but needed refilling frequently and took up a fair amount of space in the fridge. The filters could be quite costly to replace and didn't seem to last very long either. Then, shopping in John Lewis I discovered the Breville Aqua Fountain and I have never looked back! It is white and about the size of an average coffee maker but a little taller and no more expensive (between £30-£40). The buttons are ... more

Features: * Removable 2.75 litre jug * Filter change indicator * No plumbing installation required * Glass at a time dispenser * Auto flow button for filtering large quantities of fresh water * Supplied with one cartridge which lasts up to 140 hours I love mineral water. I can't abide my local tap water, but buying bottled water gets costly after a while. That was when I decided I had to get a water filter and cut costs. I tried a 'manual' filter first. It does the job but very, very slowly. Then my parents bought an electric water filter - the Breville Aqua Fountain. This item is an absolute ... more

Bought as a last minute xmas present I honestly expected this to be a gadget something used for a month or so then put in a dustly cupboard, but I was very wrong. It wont change your lifestyle but this is a very handy and handsome machine which earns its space on our minimalised worktop in the kitchen. Our kids enjoyed it very much as it meant they could get a glass of water even though they could not reach the facet at the sink, and I can certainly say it has encouraged them to drink more water. The bonus of the water having being chilled and filtered is very nice as well. Our water supply ... more
