Drinking very distilled water is a lot more harmful to the body than drinking non-distilled water.

We have Doulton (made in UK)
Doulton SS Gravity Water Filter with ATC Super Sterasyl Candles + fluoride filters

this will suit a family of up to 4 in my experience.
it is a chunk of money up front but the stainless steel tank will last forever, ceramic filters will last 3-5 years with cleaning required as specified, the fluoride filters need replacing every 6-8 months and they are optional depending if you have fluoride additive in your water (can check with water board) and if you are willing to drink it!
good luck :-)

a tip for a couple like us, put just one filter in and blank off the second hole (doulton will send you a blank free if you ask at a time of order), this way you will have just enough water for 2 people and the filters will last up to 10 years, nice huh?

Can i pick your brains about this.... What kind(if you have a link handy) would you recommend installing in your home for drinking water. Many thanks

R these good if u have lead water main?

Does this filter out perception drugs they are now finding in out water like prozc and hormonal drugs.? not to mention MDMA and cocaine !!

Tap water is perfectly safe. Tap water standards exceed those of bottled water, e.g. radioactivity.

Jeremy113, this does NOT remove limescale, as kettle still needs descaling every month

OP I understand that you
See this chart just to outline that the carbon filters only remove some small % of contamination

If you actually want clean/safe water, you will need a ceramic filter combined with fluoride filter and this additionally to the brita not instead.
Interesting, that after not drinking fluoride for about 12 months humans became creative, free thinking and happy :-)
Good luck!

We just fitted an undersink filter and a 3 way kitchen tap.
No more jug clutter, bacteria in jug etc...
The undersink filters kits can be had for the price of this Brita box, but for say £39 you can get a really nice 3M unit from finerfilters. Filters about £15 for 6 months. The tap was from Osmio £79, the filters come with a tiny tap for the corner of a sink that we didn't use, we used a single 3 way tap.

SalmanOrange - You have never heard about water filters? All commercial kitchens, vending machines, water dispensers have them, they are not for removing sediment or dirt but many do, they are for removal harmful chemicals that are weighing down our immune systems, chlorine, fluoride, chloramine, nitrates, heavy metals, pharaceuticals, oestrogen mimmickers that are causing the gender identity crisis you see every day to name but a few.

Does it remove limescale ? I live in a hard water area.

What's so good about this other than filtering water which sounds ridiculous when tap water in the UK is perfectly clean? I think this is something that would benefit me if I was living abroad and water isn't clean

Filtered water is trash. If you want "clean" water get a distiller.

Cheaper on eBay brand new boxed.

I just ordered one for myself

Get a filter +tap for this price... far more convenient.

just a piece of plastic with only one cartridge worth £2.50. too expensive!

Thanks OP, purchased to replace the jug that doesn't last half a day!

Good price, I paid £26 about a month ago and haven't looked back.

I just need to get more filters now

decent
got this for 25 a few years back on amazon
I hated filling the jugs 3-4x a day. This is better...
but I still miss the on-tap fittings they used to make for about the same price. Meh anyway
