AQUAPHORProvence Black Water Filter Jug - Counter Top Design with 4.2L Capacity, 2 X A5 Filters with added Magnesium included, Reduces Limescale, Chlorine & Microplastics, Perfect for Families.

Seems to take out limescale 100%. No residue seen in my kettle. I use a British berkey for every other contaminant but just doesn't filter limescale so bought this as it was a economical soln.For limescale it seems to filter it completely. As I've have used it for a month and there is no limescale residue. Can't really say if it is as effective for anything else as I have no means to test it..and I have the Berkey for tht. Easy to use, good size, looks great.

Noticed the good quality and taste of the water straight away using this jug / filterI have filled my kettle using the filtered water and my hot drinks / cups of tea no longer have the cloudy film across the top which you get from tap water. I have only been using the product for a few weeks but very happy.

This water jug is brilliant. It looks good and does the job. The cartridges last a while and you can order further supplies easily.

This jug is definitely a good size for our family as we drink a lot of water. It doesn't fit in our fridge but we fill a large 2 ltr glass bottle with the fltered water and keep that cold instead. It filters quickly and you can definitely taste the difference between before and after filtration. Filters a but tricky to fit and if it's not in correctly, the water in the upper section leaks through with out being filtered. I've managed to get ours in almost tight, but it has once small drip, but we can cope with that. Excellent tasting water, big capacity and quick filter time. Timer on tip is basic but works fine for filter changes every 3 months. Would recommend this if you don't want to pay a fortune.

I chose this for its elegant shape compared to the fridge ones. Also because of the amount of filtered water it will hold. OK, you need to fill the reservoir twice to fill the jug for the dinner table, but that’s fine with me. The jug can be quite heavy when full, so may not suit elderly or young children. It hurts my husbands arthritic thumb. No batteries in the indicator is a plus for me, let’s reduce electronic absurdities we don’t need!I chose the A5 version for the longer capacity A5 filter, but not sure whether that was sensible as there are no refills available for the A5, so it will be thrown away - so may have misjudged that in my quest to reduce plastic use. I will have to find out if it is recyclable. Hope so. The indicator works when the lid is opened, and so far in one day it has dropped considerably, so we will see if it lasts as long as claimed. We drink a lot of tea and water in this house.Overall pleased with the filter jug, and that a company is addressing plastic use by extending filter life.

Filtration is not strong but satisfactory

Aquaphor jug and cartridge gives me the best tasting water and so easy to clean. Also looks good.

would definitely recommend this filter, great size compared to most , really good quality and best of all great tasting water
