Hard-working water filter jugs

Makes yours a mineral

BWT stands for Best Water Technology and the BWT filter jug gives delicious-tasting water with the added benefit of providing magnesium, a mineral lacking from many diets and one that enriches the flavours and aroma of tea and coffee. It uses a five-stage filtration process and the 2.7l BWT water filter includes two cartridges and will fit in conventional fridge doors. €27.12; amazon.co.uk

Sustainable sipping

SLEEK and contemporary looking, the Soma pitcher’s filter is made from coconut-shell carbon and a plant-based casing, which removes minerals such as zinc, chlorine and copy. Made from glass and shatter-proof BPAfree plastic, it has a 1.3l capacity and sits easily in fridges. Every purchase sees a donation made to Charity: Water, which supports safe-drinkingwater projects globally. €45.20; houseoffraser.co.uk

Purple reign

BRITA is one of the most recognised brand names when it comes to water filters — and with good reason. There are plenty of Brita products to choose from and the Marella jug is a bright and cheery option. It contains a cartridge with four-step filtration and limescale reduction, and has a 1.4l capacity. €19.99; homestoreandmore.ie

Bright idea

THE stylish looking Black + Blum ‘Eau Carafe’ uses binchotan active charcoal to filter water, a system that has been used in Japan for hundreds of years. Made from hand-blown glass and holding just over a litre, it comes with one filter and apart from the cork, it’s dishwasher safe. €52; debenhams.ie
