Write to us, engage us in debate and you could win a cool prize. In fact, this month we take that literally: our winning letter earns a Little Luxury Vitality water cooler + 3 stage tap water filter valued at R1 550. Water is on, well, everyone’s lips, with drought and water quality among the biggest threats facing our society. For many, filtering their water has become second nature and with Little Luxury Vitality that process is easy and affordable. It’s silly to have bottled water delivered to your house, at huge cost financially and environmentally, with diesel truck emissions adding to the pollution.

The Little Luxury Vitality water cooler is the most affordable true mini cooler. It provides 7 litres of ice-cold filtered water at your fingertips. Little Luxury Vitality cooler filters exceed both the USA and the European standards; they use Nsf-certified filters, are tested by SGS France and approved by the FDA.

The 3 Stage tap filter is easy to use, providing healthy great tasting water on tap via to the 3 Stage Silvertech Filtration active carbon cartridge. The guaranteed quality filter has a built in selector switch for filtered or unfiltered. The multi-adaptor fits most mixer taps and is easy to install (no plumber needed). It comes with a 1 year guarantee

It’s the perfect gift for your bar, desk, kids’ rooms, next to granny’s bed and on your kitchen counter. Available at Dischem and Makro. To find out more and buy online, visit www.littleluxury.co.za

This month we focus on smart homes, including the question of security, specifically fire safety, which we went into in great detail in 2002. We suggested 10 ways to keep your home safe, from a basic alarm to deadbolt locks and fire extinguishers. Clearly, not much has changed in the way of essentials we need to keep our homes safe.
