Buying water filters offers many great benefits. Not only will you have cleaner and healthier water that tastes far better, but you will also get to save money on buying bottled water, which is not only usually very overpriced, but also has a very negative impact on the environment. Furthermore, certain brands of bottled water are nothing more than bottles of tap water, and therefore people can pay a fortune for something they can get at home for next to nothing.

However, because the likes of Brita water filters are so good at offering clean and tasty water at a very low cost, many people will look at installing permanent filters under their sink, mounted directly on the tap. This may seem like a great way to hide the filter away and make the kitchen more attractive as a result, but it can bring a few negative issues too.

Firstly, they are very easy to forget about and, as such, the majority of people with permanent filters will forget to replace the filter cartridge when it needs to be changed. As such, a clogged up filter can suddenly leave the fitting working at a greatly reduced efficiency level. Furthermore, a freestanding Brita filter can easily be stored in the fridge meaning that, not only is it out of the way, but it also offers very cold water that will be far more refreshing than that offered by a lukewarm tap.

By buying a freestanding filter you can also easily see when it is not performing as well as it should be and it will also be far easier to keep the product clean. Furthermore, the product will be much cheaper and the filter itself will be a great deal easier to change.

So, whilst water filters are hugely beneficial in any household, it is a rare case that the cheaper option is likely to be best and offer you a far healthier and more practical solution.
