* Depends on quality. Cheaper units only charge the water for 4 hours so won't seem to work. Recommended units prevent scale bonding for 24 hours. The key is to make sure the charged water is used before the charge wears off.

** spotting is the spot marks you see on glass and shiny surfaces - caused by scale.

*** Your machinery will be protected by all these treatments in that they prevent a damaging build up of hard scale. However the "cosmetic" effects - ie what you see - such as the unpleasant film floating on your tea / coffee might not seem that different, depending on your local water quality. That is why we rate some of these as "medium".

Such an improvement over unfiltered water. Losing microplastics, scale, chlorine and all the other nasties that can work their way in is just a bit of piece of mind for me in relation to my kids.

– Nick Love

I've had the filter installed for 1 month now and the water tastes loads better and no more smell of chemicals, just clean fresh filtered water I'd say it's the best water I've ever had.

– Neil Bradfield

“My filter fits easy and I am happy. We weigh the old filter when it is removed, filled with gunge which never got into our bodies with this filter. It’s quite frightening. My filter is worth every penny!

– Kathleen Gibson
