Re: Tapwater Filter jugs - January 11th 2021, 01:08 PM

We have medium tap water so it's not too bad but during the summer, it tastes quite funky. We used to have a couple of Brita filter jugs but we put them away and ended up being misplaced.

During the first lockdown last year, the water actually started tasting so plastic-y that I couldn't bear to have a cup of tea, or anything water related. The smell and taste of it was so overpowering. When I googled the issue, apparently it was because of the fact everybody was at home drawing water from the water supply, and the chlorine hadn't had time to dissipate properly, hence the weird taste and smell.

In the end we installed a water filter directly into our pipes. It was an absolute saviour for me in the summer because it cleared up all of that weird taste and smell immediately.
