For an up front investment, these benchtop water filters from Waters Co are a smart investment in the long run for both running costs and reduced waste. Depending on the size, they come with 4 or 5 years worth of filters in the up front costs and don’t have you throwing away a spent plastic cartridge every 30 days like supermarket jugs do.

Fill from the top with a jug or large glass, they come in a capacity from 5 to 10 litres and not only remove fluoride, chlorine, lead and other contaminants, but they also remineralise your drinking water.
