Edit: I confirm that all three filters are utter CRAP! The carbon particles are actually in the filtered water settled at the bottom of the container, which could be dangerous to health, to say the least! One of the 3 filters is broken. Those nodules in the filtration system have spilled into the packaging and there is no way to use it without those substances getting into your water system. Now I opened only one of them, I wonder how the remaining two are. Never buying from here again.

One could argue that filters like this are a waste of time but that rather depends upon where you live and the 'quality' of your water. By that I mean the taste and minerals which, if you are a tea-urn like my wife matters. Also I live in Norfolk where the water is from deep underground where it picks up epic amounts of calcium carbinate which furrs up anything hot with limescale practically overnight. So, for years we have used a water filter that removes taste and chemicals such as chlorine and also reduces the limescale on our kettle to negligible amounts. Now, I'm no eco-herbalist-homeopathic type person. I'm a marine engineer and have no issue with chemically treating the water to make it safe and on ships do so all the time. Chlorine in small amounts has probably saved more people than all the doctors in the world in modern history. But, it does flavour the water and is noticeable in tea especially when the water authorites do a high dose. I'm not 100% sure about the latter but I know that every six months on a ship we super-chlorinate to kill off nasties like legionnaires and I cannot see why ashore similar would not be required in pumping systems now and again with the increased taste effect that will cause. Anyway, because these cartridges have activated carbon they remove free chlorine and thus allow the tea to taste better. And I did watch some TV show where an actual expert said that filtering water is necessary for good tea, so who am I to argue. On top of that, these filters absorb metals such as lead and copper. Not sure if copper is bad for you in the miniscule amounts you might encounter it, but lead is defo a no-no. Actually, as an aside, copper is a brilliant sterilzer and we use copper in sea chests on ships to kill off spores. It's also used in hospitals where hands might reside to kill of pathogens. Just for info. Returning to these filters, I can say they are excellent. High quality and really do improve taste and perhaps improve the health of the water. The cost however is brutal. And that's why this is a five star product on Amazon because the price I paid was with a discount on a special which worked out at a near 50% reduction on the supermaarket prices. Still expensive but on balance worth it in my opinion. One small thing to remember though. Because chlorine is removed from the water, anything that's been through this filter has to be used quickly to ensure that it does not become contaminated. And of course now and again give the jug a really good clean. Overall, a brilliant product that saves on limescale problems and makes the water taste better.

Ce qui signifie que nous apprécions le produit. Ne pas oublier qu'il peut s'installer sur le plan de travail par exemple ou dans le frigo si vous avez la place évidemment. Mais de cette façon c'est très sympa.
