Improve the taste of tea, coffee & soft drinks

This high specification Water Filter unit can now free your drinking water from organic particles, chlorine taste, herbicides, limescale, etc. – and continuously maintain your tap water at a high standard.

Easy step-by-step instructions for simple home installation. NO plumbing skills are needed … NO pipes need to be cut. In fact the ingenious self-piercing valve means you don’t even need to turn off your water supply!

Mounted anywhere near a sink, the chrome-finished tap head of the versatile Water Filter will swivel through a full 360 degrees so it utilises the minimum of kitchen work space. Ideal for filling of kettles, pans etc. Tap also has special ‘hands free’ setting to allow washing of vegetables, etc.

Up to 2000 litres of purer water from one cartridge

Once in place, the Water Filter should remain effective to treat up to 2000 litres of water. The manufacturer recommends regular filter replacement within 6 months for continuing efficiency. Simple snap-fit connections make replacement a breeze.

At less than 1p per litre – or approx. 10p a day – using this Water Filter unit will prove much cheaper and far more economical than the continual purchase of bottled water which could cost you up to £1000 for 2000 bottled litres.
