I clean my electric kettel when I change my filter
I wait until my kettle starts to “Fur-up” then thange the filter
This is normally after 6 – 8 months (FAMILY OF 2)
I also save money by not having to change the expensive filter on my coffee machine as regularly
All in all, the £34 cost is not so bad value — the life of the filter will also depend on the ammount of filter water you use and the area you live in (London – very hard water)

Got a P1000. I change it every year. I don’t put a battery in the LED device as it comes ‘ON’ after 3 months but I don’t trust it to be working correctly. I
don’t live in a hard water area and my filter water tastes fine after 9 months. Best buy is £100 for 4 filters. Anything more is far too expensive. Tap water is palatable so it wouldn’t be the end of the world to be without a filter system.

I live in a hard water area and use P1000 filter,to tell the truth I can’t tell a lot of difference in the taste and it still furrs up my kettle.

My problem is not with the filter or filtered water. The 3 way tap has an annoying problem: the normal water flow keeps going for a second or so after closing and then drips for a few more seconds. Yes, it is the residual water in the pipe but it should do that. Never had a tap which didn’t close immediately…

Now I understand that the A1000 compared to the P1000 does exactly the same except for soften the water, assuming all other filtering features are included, the A1000 should be the right system if I have a BWT Aqa Smart delivering soft water (5-7 dH). But what about the BRITA Purity C (for example the C50)? Is there a comparison between the three different cartridge types?

P3000 is interchangeable and works out cheaper over the long run

Hi Elizabeth
Yes, this is the recurring feedback I seem to be getting about the P1000… I’m going to look for a more cost effective alternative.
Stay hydrated,

I live in a hard water area, with a Brita filter tap in the kitchen – used for drinking water, tea, coffee. Typically a filter will last a maximum of 3 months. So, its expensive but you can tell the difference
