Bit clunky and do you really need filtered water for anything other than drinking?
I just get the filters and have an 8L jug in the fridge. Both would have micro-plastcs.
Depends on how your water tastes. We use the tap filter for washing rice as well as cooking rice and pasta. Also use filtered water in cooking and steaming food. Sometimes I use it to wash vegetables.
Sounds ok depends if you want cold water as well.
So just take it off if washing and rinsing dishes?
Which filter do you use?
I have this, you can flip between filtered, shower, or unfiltered. But the filtered water, when the filter is new, quite fast, but quicky, it become clog that the filtered water flow very slow. So when you just change the filter, you can fill a glass of water in less than 5 second, but a few day later, will take you 30+ seconds just to fill up a glass of water.
Do people still boil drinking water also?
Maybe if they are making a hot drink.
Filtered water doesn't kill viruses or bacteria, you can boil afterwards to do that
@Fat Horny Ghost: Luckily chlorine as added to water supply mains to kill bacterial to make it safe to drink.
@G-Shock: I recall reading an article many years ago now (pre-outright fake BS), of a small area in Italy that did not have fluoridation. They didn't want it. It was forced. They then began having cancers previously unheard of.
Look up cancer from fluoride. I don't feel it warrants being in water. Toothpaste? Sure. You scrub and spit it out/rinse. Water? ALL water? Not sold.
@Geekomatic: Was taking about chlorination to prevent bacteria. The benefits outweigh the risks obviously.
Would have to see the studies, all that is pretty controversial. There isn't that much evidence against it really. No doubt they have regulated the amounts so it is well within safe levels. You'd have to check your city as well to see if they even add fluoride, not just quote some American article for example. I'm not sure but not worried.
Could be many causes, and many variables. People don't seem worried about cancer from other causes (red and processed meat, mobile phones ctc).
Ai results
https://g.co/gemini/share/15fbccb867cbI don't think Brita filters out flouride anyway.
No, Brita filters are not designed to remove fluoride. In fact, Brita states that its filters are meant to keep a healthy level of fluoride in the water. +1
.
While Brita filters are very effective at reducing substances like chlorine, lead, and copper, they do not use the specific filtration technologies required to remove fluoride. Fluoride removal typically requires more advanced systems, such as reverse osmosis, activated
.
alumina, or specialized ion exchange resins. +1
.
If you are concerned about the presence of fluoride in your tap water, you would need to look into a different type of water filtration system specifically designed for that purpose.
Boiling water gets rid of microplastics
Good to know. Yeah sounds pointless
I had one of these fitted but swapped out for a Philips one. The Brita filter got clogged very quickly and it is expensive to keep changing. The Philips one I got is a simple charcoal filter so it removes chemicals rather than particles. I bought a ton of filters on clearance from Coles when they were clearing out stock.
Brita is the best but way too expensive for me. Could also be because our house is 40yrs old and we get a lot of rust or other particles in our water.house is 40yrs old
I bet the underground water supply is at least twice as old
I have a similar Phillips one on my kitchen tap in Thailand - I click it across for the filtered water and use it for the espresso machine, washing/cooking rice. Been fine so far although I wouldn't drink the tapwater here!
You can unofficially, depends where you are.
I do for cleaning teeth but don't drink it.Water is cheap enough to buy, 5L containers and fill up at the water dispensers to reduce on plastic, the Ozbargain way..
Reverse osmosis would be the best ultimately. Look at any of the past hundreds of Brita posts, same thing every time.
Actually you want to reduce PFOS the most as they are more dangerous!
Yep but I recommend writing to the local water authority and requesting a PFOS rate / looking at their testing reports. Mine is at levels below detection. Trust me they are aware of it. But our regulations are a bit behind on what is acceptable.
I have been using this one for the last two months. For the first 50Ls it worked great. After that the flow became tiny possibly because of filtered elements accumulated. As a result, the screen also stopped working as water flow is too tiny to trigger screen showing information. Need to wait for 15 mins to fill 1.5L container.
As a alternative I would consider Waterdrop, they are bigger in America: https://www.amazon.com.au/Waterdrop-Rechargeable-200-Gallon-…
Bigger than their president?
Why not just get Puratap (at least those in SA).
Because it's expensive, and they lock you in to what is essentially a subscription. Their parts are apparently not compatible with other water filters.
You're best off rolling your own if you're going to get a benchtop system.
More choice of filters, easy to replace, don't need to get hounded by the Pura Tap people.
just get onbench filter instead. Easy to fit, plenty of replacement filter options and cheap cartridges.

Not much info on what it can actually filter…
Looks pretty handy. Would want to see some test results.
How much? Made in USA, assembled in Australia. May not be cheap after tarrifs (don't think they have hit yet)?
