Britta Filters

[PITA]

Is true.
Although not doing the tests doesn't necessarily mean the water is less pure - it just means the bottled water industry is less regulated.

UK tap drinking water is about the safest, cleanest and most monitored in the world. The industry that has convinced millions that they somehow cooler or safer drinking from a plastic bottle which leaches plasticisers into water that's been shipped thousands of miles from an unregulated source at the cost of CO2 emissions, instead of drinking free water from a tap, is a masterpiece in the dark arts of get rich quick whatever the consequence business.

If people aren't fond of the taste of tap water, just leave it in a jug overnight in the fridge (covered with a cloth) and the chlorine will evaporate. (Which is much of what you do with an expensive Brita jug with or without filters in it!!)

@chrismpw doesn’t pay his water bills. Makes a note.

Oh my ... I may have said words to that effect lol

In the plus side, I'm pretty sure that most of my water rates are spent by them having to process my sewage.....

The water was awful in Nottingham, tasted like TCP some of the time so we used one. It's fine where I live now so i don't bother.

Absolutely correct.

However I'd just leave the water to sit with a large surface area open to the air and the chlorine taste and smell will dissapear much quicker than if you put it in a fridge and covered. My parents moved to an area that always seems to get chlorinated water and they fill the kettle up immediately after using it and the residual heat speeds up the dechlorination even more.
