What is Brita P1000?
There are many ways to get your water filtered. The easy and cheap way is to use a water filter bottle or water filter jug. However, for less than £40 and a couple of minutes you can start enjoying perfectly filtered water with the BRITA P1000. It is a water filter cartridge designed for BRITA’s professional water filter systems. It helps reduce impurities and improve the taste of tap water by filtering out substances like chlorine and metals..
What Does The Brita P1000 Water Filter Cartridge Do?
The Brita P1000 reduces limescale, chlorine and the taste of chlorine from your water. It also filters things like lead, copper that tend to occur in the average domestic plumbing system. The idea is that it removes anything that creates poor quality taste, odour as well as anything harmful.
The best thing is that all of this is done on demand. No more waiting for your water to filter, it comes out of the tap filtered and ready to drink. This also means that you have instant hot filtered water.
It is also good for domestic appliances like washing machines and dishwashers (if you can install the cartridge directly into its water source). This is because it will protect your devices against the build-up of limescale.
