We’ve all heard the advice: drink 6–8 glasses of water a day. That’s around 2 litres for the average adult – and even more during warm weather, exercise, or when you’re unwell.
Most of us try our best. We carry bottles, fill our glasses, top up the jug in the fridge. But while we’re counting litres, there’s a question we don’t ask often enough:
👉 What’s actually in the water we’re drinking every day?
Not All Tap Water Is Equal
Here in the UK, we’re lucky to have access to mains water that’s considered safe to drink. But “safe” doesn’t always mean clean, pure, or tasty.
Tap water can legally contain trace levels of:
- Chlorine (used to disinfect)
- Heavy metals (like lead or copper from old pipes)
- Pesticides and herbicides
- Nitrates from fertilisers
- Microplastics (yes, even in your drinking water!)
- Pharmaceutical residues from wastewater
Even in small amounts, these things can build up over time – and they certainly don’t help with taste, smell, or peace of mind.
You’re Making the Effort – Make It Count
You’re already doing your body a favour by staying hydrated. So why not make sure the water you’re drinking is as clean and fresh as possible?
That’s where a fitted drinking water filter comes in.
Unlike basic filter jugs (which only reduce a few impurities), a proper under-sink filter system:
- Removes a wide range of contaminants
- Improves the taste and clarity of your water
- Delivers filtered water instantly at the tap
- Helps you ditch bottled water for good
Whether you’re filling a glass, boiling a kettle, or cooking dinner – you’ll know exactly what you’re putting into your body.
The Hidden Cost of “OK” Tap Water
If your tap water smells a bit off, tastes metallic, or leaves a film in your cup of tea, you might be tempted to:
- Buy bottled water for “better taste”
- Use a jug filter that needs constant refilling
- Just put up with it, because “it’s fine…”
But bottled water costs a fortune over time (and creates plastic waste), and jug filters are limited in what they can remove. A fitted system is the most reliable way to make sure you’re getting great water every single day – not just the legal minimum.

Think about it: we hydrate more than we do anything else. Before food, before vitamins, before caffeine – water comes first.
