    Such an improvement over unfiltered water. Losing microplastics, scale, chlorine and all the other nasties that can work their way in is just a bit of piece of mind for me in relation to my kids.

    I've had the filter installed for 1 month now and the water tastes loads better and no more smell of chemicals, just clean fresh filtered water I'd say it's the best water I've ever had.
    – Neil Bradfield
    “My filter fits easy and I am happy. We weigh the old filter when it is removed, filled with gunge which never got into our bodies with this filter. It’s quite frightening. My filter is worth every penny!
