Water Filtration

Water filtration is not essential in the UK because tap water is generally safe to drink. However, you might want to consider using a water filter if you want to:

Improve taste - Some people don't like the taste of tap water, especially if they're from a different place. Filters with activated carbon can remove unpleasant tastes and odours

Reduce limescale - If you live in a hard water area, a water filter can reduce limescale, which can make your appliances run less efficiently

Remove specific contaminants - If you're concerned about trace amounts of contaminants like heavy metals or pesticides, you can use a filter to target those substances

Protect older plumbing - If you live in an older property, your plumbing might have a higher risk of contaminants like lead

Save money  - You can save money by filtering your water instead of buying bottled water
