Kenwood Water Filter

...no this isn't about the pop band, "HearSay"! I only recently started using water filters in a bid to save my new kettle from the evil grasps of limescale and to experience water in its more natural state. I had a hand-me-down ancient water filter set-up with a lovely large jug but unfortunately the actual filter cartridges were long obsolete so it was time to invest in a new set-up. Seeing as I had spent the princely sum of £12 on a lovely new banana yellow kettle I decided to spend another princely £9.99 on a Kenwood Crystal Water Filter. A very modern looking contraption compared to my ... more

Living in a city I have found my tap water to be very hard and the taste resembles something you would swim in at your local swimming baths. No matter what you drink the water with, whether it be tea, coffee or squash, you can still taste the chloride in it. For years now I have been buying bottled water. With the edition of my two daughters, who both drink squash pop in large amounts, the amount of bottled water I had to purchase weekly had really increased. A friend had purchased a water filter and said that the change in the quality of her drinking water was amazing. So becoming rather fed ... more

Kenwood WF097 Water Filter..... I have had this particular water filter for around 2 years now and it appears to be doing just fine. I wouldn't say it is the best water filter avaliable and it does really have any fancy features but it does seem to do the job well. I purchased it from a local store “Hursts” and paid a special offer price of £14 but having since looked on the internet, I can see that you can pick them up for around the £20 when not on any sort of offer. The price I paid was pretty good as most filters are more expensive than this and especially as it is a branded one. The look ... more

Having written an opinion on tap water a few months ago it became apparent from the comments I received that many people still purchase vast amounts of bottled water, with some brands charging extortionate prices. As mentioned in that opinion I have always preferred tap water although I always filter it first, to make it as pure as possible. Kenwood make a range of water filters in different sizes and colours, but on the whole they all do the same thing as they use the same cartridges. For your benefit, the model I have, and therefore on which this opinion is based, is the WF93. The water ... more

I had owned a water filter for years and had found one to be invaluable, but after a while it became old and it had yellowed and didn't look right in my kitchen anymore so off i went to buy a new one. There were a fair few different contraptions out there which had built in computers and all sorts but i decided to be the simple but effective Kenwood Water Filter. It cost me £9.99 and was from argos. When i took it out the packaging i noticed it came with it's first free filtration cartridge which would last for 60 refils or 90 days which ever was the 1st. The instructions informed me to rinse ... more
