Hey guys... a bit of a long shot but does any of you lot have a water drinking filter set up from the mains? I`ve wanted one for a few years as I hate the taste of tap water.

 

So can you recommend one, I've seen lots of the under sink 1 filter systems for about £25, I've just noticed this on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160442255487?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1783wt_1163 ,it looks promising or is it just a con, do they make the water taste any better??

 

any recommends please

It will make the water "cleaner" mate but I doubt that it would taste any better. Why not just get yourself one of those gay little Britta filters for your fairy water. :lol:

LOL, cnut.....had a fairy water britts thingy, we were forever changing the cartriges and worked out expensive and tasted sh!t, apparently the under sink ones take the nasty taste away :tt2:

I have a hot water tap (boiling hot ) and this has a filter on you have to change filter every 6 mths or so the cold ones are same .water does taste different supose to be better for you if you beleave that.

remember years ago my uncles house had really hard water, they use to boil then freeze and then defrost the water, used to taste ok

Strange to have one on the hot tap? especially boiling as that will kill the crap thats in our water supply, deffo only want mine for cold drinking water.. I just want the taste of water from a bottle, tap water makes me heave, lol

 

CheerZ mate :)

I cant be arsed doing that I will die of thirst, lol, but yeh ..we have very hard water round here, that's why it tastes so crap I suppose , I watched a docu a few weeks ago showing what we drink through our taps...not good!!!!

thats why i jjust drink stella lol

 

ive seent he instant hot boiling water taps before, not sure how they work but i would be very wary incase someone got burnt

My nan lived in the sticks and her water was from a borehole and was the best tasting softest water every.The water here in telford, shropshire is really hard and leaves horrible water marks when you wash cars and dont dry them off.

Freezing cold aswel, lol ;)

Near my double garage that lifts electronically at the touch of a remote :tongue_smilie: I have one of those American fridge things and this dispenses cool filtered water, next to it is an ice dispenser, water is fine but I only use it in my cordial :biggrin:

 

Makes ice automatically as the fridge as of course a mains water supply to it :thumbup1:

 

Does have a filter cartridge but this lasts years and are about £15.00 :clap:

Ha,ha silly old man, lol, you`ve been drinking too much Vimto ,lol

 

Anyway.. your a star ...as I`ve just had an idea!! we too have one of those fridges with the ice and drinks dispenser, the filter ran out about 2 years ago and the water now tastes even more rank than the tap water!!! so I`m gonna get that ebay filter system and attach it to the fridge, job done.... I really don't know why I didn't think of that myself, doh, you really are good sometimes :)

Its mad.... as ours tastes just crap!!! but I forgot all about the filter at the back, thinking about it, i bet its over 3 years old!!!! ewwww, no wonder we don't use it any more,

That reminds me our filter would need changing soon:whistling:
