Went to Big W today and saw 25% off all Brita Jugs and filters. This looked like the deal of the bunch.
It can be self installed, no plumbing necessary.
she will if she knows what's good for her.
I wouldn't let mine, but go for it.
I just strain creek water through my wife beater into a billy like a real man
Beat it by 10% at Bunnings
Shoot me down for not comparing like for like, but a water filter with tap can be bought for MUCH cheaper from a Hardware store or cheaper again online (ie eBay).
If you like buying branded, then the Brita might be a way to go, but check up on pricing and availability of filter refills. I wouldn't be surprised if the Brita system uses non-standard size refills, to force you into buying their branded (and higher priced) refills rather than a competitors refill.
OP might want more guaranteed warranty, unlike eBay.
That better options exist doesn't make this a bad deal, especially since you admit you're not comparing like items. Surely you could point out the alternative without the neg.
In my opinion, a deal is not a deal if there is something cheaper that will do the job better. Whilst I'm all for acknowledging that in many cases Brand Name can make a huge difference in quality/effectiveness, I don't believe this is one of those occasions.
I would never recommend this deal to any of my friends because I know that for $100 less you can get a dual filter system (as opposed to this single filter system) using industry standard parts that will supply nicer water, at a cheaper price (upfront and even more so over time).
If I can't recommend it to my friends, I can't recommend it to my associates here.
how the hell do we install it?
watch the attached video on the page, it seems pretty basic I think, shouldnt take over 1hr.
I bought the dual filter from esold for $79 and installed myself. Works great! Why spend $200+ for the same thing?
I think this is way too $$ for 1 filter system. NOT A BARGAIN!
Do not buy! Expensive non-standard replacement cartridge - $80 vs $15 at bunnings for a standard 10" carbon filter.
Get a 2-stage system for less money.
p.s. any undersink filkter can be DIY installed, but none of them legally in Australia. Fortunately nobody gives a toss.
Whoah!
Looks like the recommended replacement cycle is only 180 days too (as per the video displaying 180 days when the digital timer is started), so you'd need 2 per year as opposed to one every 12 months!
What 2 stage system are you recommending?
I personally prefer chilled tap water (Sydney). Total cost: $0.0000001
Yeah got to agree. If it actually chilled the water then I would consider it but being its just filtering I'm happy with my tap.
Heaps of good ones here (I'm sure there are other sites). Ceramic tap is good to have. If you have questionable mains water these are really nice.
