Brita Filters?

[Lightspeed]

Brita filters are for sure better than no filter at all.

We have used both jug and plumbed-in Brita filters. They were OK for normal mains water, but worked out rather expensive to run in terms of the cost of replacement filters.

Our first and only expenditure on serious water filtering has been on a Berkefeld Ceramic candle filter system that we purchased from Avon Soft earlier this year. This has been an eye opener for us. The product performs exceedingly well, with immediately different taste to the water we consume. Its also built better than the Brita stuff we have had previously, and is pretty much of catering / industrial quality. Although a relatively expensive outlay, in the long run our system is very much more cost effective, as its cheaoer to run in terms of consumables. ( One filter element for teh Berkefeld costs around £10 and is good for up to 10,000L of purified water.)
