Water Filters

Pure Glacial Waters from a Fjord in my Fridge

Advantages: Great design, excellent filtered water, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: None.

...in the case of my Brita Fjord Cool filter jug, that's exactly what's happened. I bought it on a whim as it was reduced to £10 in Woolworths and I decided to treat myself to something I considered at the time to be frivolous yet practical. There were a few Brita filter jugs on offer at the same price and I chose the Fjord Cool model simply because it looked a bit sleeker and sexier than the others available. As soon as I got home, I quickly decided ...
...filter jug incidentally takes the Brita Maxtra cartridges. It comes supplied with one but I bought an additional box of three replacement cartridges which set me back around £10. I've already mentioned that the picture on the box was what attracted me to this filter jug but on closer inspection, it's even better than I had anticipated. The jug itself is made of sturdy clear plastic which means you can easily see how much water is left at any time. ...

Review of Brita Fjord Water Filter

excellent water filter

Advantages: very easy to use, ideal water
Disadvantages: none

I'm using Brita Elemaris water filter few months. I'm very happy with Brita. The water is clean, tasty, non chlor, non calc and ver, very health. One filter is for month. After 1 month you have to change for a new. The Elemaris water filter jug uses the BRITA Maxtra cartridge for 20% better limescale reduction. It features a pour-through lid for easier one-handed filling, a soft-grip handle and anti-slip rubber base. Suitable for keeping inside the ...

It holds 1.4 litres filtered water, or 2.4 litres in total Technical Details * 2.4 litre total capacity * 1.4 litre filtered capacity * Slim line model for fridge door & dinner table * New contemporary design * Smart-fill lid for one handed effortless filling * Water level indicator * Click-fit secure lid * Dishwasher safe (excluding lid) * Designed for use with Maxtra I very recommend to another potential ...

Review of Brita Elemaris Cool Water Filter

Brita Marella - excellent value, easy to change filters

Advantages: Cheap, great colour range, easy to change filter
Disadvantages: lid isn't held on only by a small click, comes off easy if knocked

...components. I found this Brita one, with very easy plug in filters. Works great, no strange taste, and it filters the water reasonably quickly. Capacity is good, and the colours these come in are very nice. We got a red (passion) coloured one, which is rather tasty for a kitchen appliance I guess. You have to change the filters on these every month, go to ebay to buy a pack of 12 or so to get a decent price on these. Watch out for the lid if you've ...
...pour a glass of water - the water can burst from the top as it's only held on by a click and gravity. Otherwise super, though there's some sort of effort on the top that's supposed to indicate when you have to change the filter. It's pants, I don't even think it works. Nor do I care. ...

Review of Brita Marella Cool Water Filter

There's nothing better than ice cold water

Advantages: Long term money saving, looks cool, tastes good.
Disadvantages: Humming noise

We were bought the Brita Aqua Fountain for a Christmas present and at the time I had to admit I thought it a little naff. Now that I've been using it for 4 months I can safely say that it's my favourite gift. No longer having to buy and lug litres of bottled water home from the supermarket each week is a godsend. I'm sure that I was on my way to a hernia! I also don't need to worry about storage as the fountain sits comfortably on my kitchen table ...
...Now for the important bit I think that the water tastes better than bottled. I do worry about the effect of water sitting around in the bottles in warehouses and shop floors for months on end. At least I know that the water in my Britta is refreshed daily. The fountain came with a cartridge and by shopping around you can find some good value bulk buys on cartridges. Over a year it definitely works out cheaper than buying bottles, when you consider ...

Review of Brita Aqua Fountain

A kettle that can multitask (it must be a woman)

Advantages: Takes up less room than a filter jug and a kettle.
Disadvantages: You have to wait for the water to filter before you can boil it!

...small kitchen. We noticed the Brita Acclario filter kettle in Argos a few months ago while we were looking to get him a fridge jug which although notideal would at least save him a little space. The kettles were priced at around £45 but he was needing a new kettle anyway so he said if we wanted to buy him one to wait til his birthday this month and the price may have dropped slightly. We saw one in Tesco about 6 weeks ago for £26 and decided to ...
...impressed with his. The replacement brita cartridges cost around £19.99 for 6 but you can get universal ones for about half this price. The filters help reduce the build up of limescale, reduce heavy metals in the water such as lead and copper and reduce chlorine, certain pesticides and other impurities. On the box it shows a cup of tea in a glass cup the picture is in 2 halves one showing the tea using filtered water the other unfiltered and ...
