Hi,
I want to fit an undersink water filter with tap but am getting confused as to which is a good make and what really needs to be filtered as there seem to be too many options!
I used to have a springflow but have just moved to a house that still has lead pipes and from what I can see the springflow will not remove any lead so I think I want a system that will improve taste, reduce chlorine and lead.
I've been recommended Culligans and Liff and by searching on the web have just found Pozzani but that is not sold generally.
I'm waiting for the water company water sample test results to see if the lead really is an issue.
Yes I live in a hard water area but am not bothered whether the calcium is reduced or not - Calcium is supposed to be good for drinking though less surface stuff in tea would improve it!
Also for flouride I don't see that as a particular risk as we have children and the flouride has been added for a reason.
Can anyone give the advantages or disadvantages of the different makes? Should I buy cartridges in bulk in case the manufacturer goes out of business?
Also - which filters have a good flow rate - our old springflow was just a trickle and we'd like something that flows a bit faster.
Cheers
