Filtered water taps - anyone have one?

[Vidar]

I drink a lot, and always find water filter jugs frustrating as they never refil fast enough for me and my family.

I've been thinking about getting a mains filtered tap of some description but I've no idea if they're worth the cost or not. Can anyone who has one share their opinions?

You live in Liverpool doesn't your water come from the same place as mine in Manchester in which case what are you trying to filter out we have among the best tap water in the country.

I don't know, what I can say is I really don't like the taste of unfiltered tap water.

You can get whole house systems for pretty good money. All taps would becoming drinking taps and your appliances would thank you for it too

Any recommendations?

Even got a 4 way tap that does the usual hot/cold and filtered cold and 100C boiling water. Game changer IMO.

Our water supply is softened with a standard salt based softener. We live in a very hard water area and you shouldn’t really drink this.

The filtered side of the tap T’s off before the softener and is put through a big carbon filter before it either goes to the tap or the boiler unit (2 litres).

The manufacturer also sells a chiller unit for the cold side but we didn’t have the cupboard space for it.

Got a link?
