    • Works fine for me :)

      • Click on the sort or filter by brand and you get that error message

        • Try google chrome m8, that's what I use which seems to be the best for the crap site

    Do these water filters have any real life scientifically proven practical results or are they more placebo? (not a loaded question, it's a genuine one)

      The water taste is much more pleasant with filters, cant see any placebo effect, as when their time is up, water taste starts to taste more like tap water.

      Similar water filtration techniques are also used in more than just drinking water filtration.

    • I find they remove the chlorine taste from the water in Brisbane. Don't know if they have any health effects. Just tastes better. Melbourne's tap water was fine for me.

        Thats correct, they remove Chlorine, and this is a nasty toxin, linked to Cancer among other diseases, so removing chlorine is a health effect.

        • Chlorine evaporates overnight or depending on temperature, just cover the water with something clean but lets it breathe.

        • @JH100:

          However, the use of Chloramine in water treatment is expanding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloramination

          which is harder remove

        • @Wally:

          True. AFAIK it's still chlorine in Brisbane.

          This is interesting ; "Two home builders filed lawsuits … arguing that pinhole leaks in copper water piping in their homes was due to faulty water treatment with chloramine … as of late 2013 the number of lawsuits had expanded."

    • "active charcoal carbon filters are most effective at removing chlorine, sediment, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), taste and odor from water. They are not effective at removing minerals, salts, and dissolved inorganic compounds"

      ie Fluoride & Lead are not filtered out

    The water tastes much better after being filtered through one of these.

    Id otherwise struggle to drink the amount of water I do if it came straight out the tap.

    Woolies currently have a three pack for $25 on special:
