What do you think? We have hard water and lately it’s started tasting not very nice..string smell of chlorine. Thinking of getting one but not sure how good/safe it is?

I have a Britax maxxtra which I use to fill our fridge reservoir. It's much better than tap water which I hate. Even our dogs prefer it!

Pretty good. And I use the universal filters from Wilkos, cos cheaper.

Our tap water is disgusting so we have one. Also hard water so we fill the kettle/iron from it and it doesn't fur up. Fits in the fridge door.

I have one just for the dogs. Blush

Just for the dogs? Do you mean an additional one just for the dogs?

Is it active charcoal that filters the water?

I have one and have found it really good. My area always had very nice drinking water but the water company changed the mix and I could really taste and smell the chlorine.

I’m going to check out the Wilko filters SpongeBobJudgeyPants so thanks for the tip.

I’ve just got a Brita kettle and my cups of tea have never tasted so good!

we have this one and wouldn't be without it. It holds a decent quantity of water and has a little light thing that let's you know when to replace the filter. I have used both the Brita filters and Costco own brand quite happily.

Yes. We do have one just for the dogs!
Our fridge dispenses filtered water but getting a litre or more at a time was messing up the button. Blush
So I got them a jug.
We used to have a Brita jug just for us before we got the fridge! It does make such a difference.
