 It works, and looks good April 16, 2008

We decided to try and reduce our plastic waste, stop drinking bottled water, and invested in this jug instead. Some people will argue that bottled water is no different to tap water, but I disagree. I know tap water is perfectly safe, but it tastes horrible here in the Midlands. I grew up just thinking I didn't like water, but since I tasted bottled water I drink pints of the stuff. The results from this jug are *almost* as good - it certainly makes our tap water more than pleasant enough for me to drink. And to top it off, the black/silver colours are an EXACT match with our Morphy Richards Perfection kettle so it looks good in the kitchen too. The ingenious filling method means the jug is always covered so no dust/flies etc. can get in, and the water passes through very quickly so even if the last person didn't fill it up again, you aren't left hanging around for 5 minutes waiting for the filter to do its thing.
When our jug arrived, the little electronic timer/reminder thing in the handle which reminds you to change the filter every 4 weeks didn't work, but a quick email to Brita brought a new timer in the post in a couple of days, free of course.

We have had real problems with the hard water in Kent - kettle really scummy and rough taste.
This system is really practical - doesn't require complicated soakings etc. The jug is big enough to hold enough water and the filter works quickly enough to fill it up in no more than a couple of minutes.
After 2 weeks, our kettle had descaled itself, which was an added bonus, just by using filtered water - with a brush we could remove all the deposits and we had sparkling clean kettle (it is chrome, so shows everything) with no nasty white and brown crusts.
It's great for the espresso machine as well, as there are no deposits to clean from the water container.
Plus, the whole thing is smart enough to use at the table as well.
All in all a very sound purchase.
