Water filter products and appliances help remove unwanted impurities, bacteria and contaminants from your water. This can have a positive impact on the water quality in your home. And this will in turn improve the life of your equipment and reduce on-going maintenance costs.
The problems with tap water make getting a water filter more and more necessary. Although tap water in the UK is amongst the cleanest in the world, it is not perfect. Also, generally “clean” and “safe” tap water does not guarantee that it will smell or taste good, or even how clear it looks. Unfortunately, impurities like chlorine, pesticides and pharmaceuticals are routinely found in tap water. The best way to deal with this is with a water filter.
