Why choose a bench top water filter?

Safe, great tasting drinking water shouldn’t be a luxury - it should be the norm in every household. If you’re tired of bottled water, tired of questionable tap water, and not interested in installing an under sink filter system, there’s one smart solution that ticks all the boxes: the bench top water filter.

More compact than a whole house system and more powerful than a jug filter, bench top water filters are becoming a go-to option for renters, families, and health-conscious homes. But what exactly makes them so appealing? Let’s dive into the benefits and discover why a bench top system might just be the perfect choice for your kitchen.

What is a bench top water filter?

A bench top water filter is a free standing unit that sits on your kitchen counter and connects directly to your existing tap. Water flows from your faucet through the filter, removing a range of contaminants before pouring out clean, filtered water via a separate spout.

Unlike bulky installations or complex reverse osmosis systems, bench top filters require no plumbing modifications - making them ideal for renters or those looking for an easy, plug-and-play solution.

Key features of a bench top water filter:

•    No installation required - connects to most standard taps
•    Portable - move it between homes 
•    Effective filtration - removes chlorine, sediment, heavy metals, and more
•    Cost-effective - a long-term alternative to bottled water
•    Eco-friendly - reduce your single-use plastic waste
