Water filter systems are a popular solution for families looking to drink and enjoy clean, high quality water in their homes. Different water filters such as water filter jugs, under-counter and counter-top systems have different filtration performance which leaves many people wondering which home water filter is best for them.

Whilst tap water is safe to drink, it can contain contaminants such as microplastic particles. Many people invest in a water filter to improve the taste and odour of tap water, encouraging them to enjoy water and drink the daily-recommended intake of water.

When choosing a water filter, there are many factors to consider including cost, filter longevity, contaminant removal and how the filtered water tastes.

Under-counter water filters, also known as under-sink or inline water filters are an efficient and convenient way to enjoy filtered water, straight from the tap. The compact, space-saving systems are installed out of view, making them perfect for kitchens with limited space.

Counter-top water filters connect to the existing kitchen tap and sit next to the sink, dispensing filtered water from the spout of the filter system. The systems fit perfectly in any kitchen and do not require permanent installation, making the systems ideal for people who rent property or move house on a regular basis.

Whilst water filter jugs are a popular choice due to the efficiency and compact design, there are limitations relating to their long-term performance and limited capacity. Water filter jugs often quickly lose their filtration power and require regular filter replacements.

Whilst removing contaminants, some water filter systems also remove the naturally occurring minerals from tap water. Doulton® water filters are carefully designed to retain all of the healthy minerals that make your water taste great whilst effectively reducing up to 99.99% of common contaminants.

The presence of an additional Doulton® pre-filter cartridge can also help to target specific contaminants that are present in particular water supplies, including limescale.
