I did my calculation before buying this countertop filter. Roughly I used to spend around £20-30/month on buying bottle water (common brand ones), so this purchase for me is generally at similar cost for a year and will save me more and more with time goes by. Since we are going to move home in 1-2 year time so I decided to go for this non-installation required machine which is flexible, no labour cost and potential leakage risk at any time, but ensure a good water quality. Once we moved, I will come back for a full package plan for sure.

"When I put this tap purifier on, I didn't expect to see how dirty my water has been running through my house. This is a photo I took after filtering my kitchen tap water for 5months (including 3-week summer holiday away), it is horrible. Bear in mind, I live in a new-built so the pipes are new and should be in a better condition than old systems, so I can't imagine how dirty those old buildings' water piples and systems could be！"

I had my own plumber installed the water softener and it went really well. Once the machine is delivered, I was contacted by the vendor and was given an installation video as we chose to install it ourselves. It was a really straightforward process and we can tell the water difference immediately. My plumber said it is a good one.
