I need to try drinking more water but obviously bottled water everyday is expensive so does everyone drink tap water.

Tap water, unless you live in a part of the world where it’s unsafe doesn’t everyone?

@DoubleShotEspresso I like the taste of south London water. Nobody i knows drink bottled

Well you’re welcome to any of ours, I don’t even make tea or cook with it. 😅I am guessing maybe you are SW London?

@RampantIvywe had a Brita jug ages ago, never made it following our last house move years ago now. Just yet more faff, more expense and not big enough for the amount we need. And thinking about it plastic again so seems little point.

  • Water filters eliminate the need for single-use plastic bottles, which contribute to plastic pollution.
  • Water filters consume less energy compared to the energy required to produce and transport plastic bottles.
  • Water filters have a smaller carbon footprint than bottled water, aligning with sustainability goals.
  • Over time, the cost savings from using a water filter can outweigh the initial investment.
  • Water filters provide a continuous supply of clean, great-tasting water, enhancing taste and retaining essential minerals.
