Water Filter Jugs

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Does anyone use one like the Brita, Kenwood or Asda ones?

I'd like to be able to drink more tap water but in our area it don't taste very appealing, was wondering if filtering the water would help in the taste dept.

Also noticed there are some kettles out there with a built in filter, wondering if this might be a good 2 in 1 solution.

I can drink water with food, but on it's own it's not so great. And I want to avoid things like adding cordials, or too much tea, etc, just plain water... and don't want to go buy bottled water either just make tap water taste better.

    I know they say chlorine affects the taste of water, I know our area has a lot of limescale in the water, you can see it build up on the kettle and taps.

    I dont drink the water out of my tap at all, it's horrible, especially since it gave me a kidney infection when I was pregnant.

    My Mums water is nice to start with then she does all the filter blah de blah, takes ages to get a cuppa :p

    No, I am just saying I had one. lol

    I always mix water with cordial anyway. Plain water.. :yuck:

    My one wasnt a fancy brita, it was just a normal one from asda, which is as good as a brita. It suposidaly helps with the taste and cleans the water.

    I used to have a brita until we got a new fridge. Loved it. My parents have one, but the charcole gets into the jug really easily... Faulty or something. I love water. The mans parents have the one (brita maybe?) that you stick on your faucet. Good too, makes good coffee.

    I like my water straight from the tap. I live in a hard water area and think it tastes much better than anything else.
