Filtered water taps - anyone have one?

£18 a month?!?!?!

I thought the carbon filter on my boiling tap was expensive at about £30 every 6 months. In reality I change it every 12-15 months.

Yup not the cheapest but £18 is an inconsequential amount in the grand scheme of our finances. The machine is fantastic, unlimited supply of refrigerated filtered water and we replaced our kettle with the boiling water it produces.

nice solution but $$$, looks like a remote mira shower puck to wirelessly configure output water,
but it's a divertor valve placed in spare sink tap slot.
minus the valve it should be less than £100 for the parts, no one else seems to sell similar valves.

Would a filter get rid of potential pathogens so you can use the water as a sinus rinse?

What about micro plastics, chlorine, fluoride and xenoestrogens?

I'm pretty sure standard Physical type filters (e.g. Carbon, resin, ceramic, etc.) won't remove biological contaminants like bacteria and certainly not viruses. Easiest is probably UV - C or heat to kill pathogens.

Carbon filters do very little about hardness. Their USP is that they are excellent at removing the stuff that impacts taste and smell of whatever is being passed through them.

So in the case of tap water, it is taking out the chlorine has the biggest impact for me.

id expect longer than a 2 year warranty on that given the price, jesus.
