Domestic filters range from simple taste-and-odour cartridges to systems intended for specific contaminants or scale management.
Understanding the issue
Domestic filters range from simple taste-and-odour cartridges to systems intended for specific contaminants or scale management.
What to check
Choose a filter based on the water issue you are trying to address rather than marketing claims. Cartridge replacement intervals and hygiene are important.
When to get advice
A filter is not a substitute for investigating unusual colour, odour or suspected contamination. Seek appropriate water-supply advice where safety is in doubt.
This is general information, not a substitute for inspecting your property. Do not work on gas equipment or live electrical parts unless appropriately qualified. If there is immediate danger, call 999. If you smell gas or suspect a gas escape, leave the affected area and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from a safe location. Do not operate electrical switches or use naked flames.
