Does anyone use one of these jugs ?  I've had mine for years, in fact this is probably my third jug.  What had surprised me this week is the cost of the replacement cartridges !  My stash has all gone so I've been looking for a box, what a shock £24 for 6 !   They're following in the footsteps of the printer cartridges, :grin:  where it's sometimes cheaper to buy a new printer than replace the cartridges.

We use an Aqua Optima Aurora heater / chiller water dispenser that has a water filter.

Aqua Optima Evolve water filter cartridges are compatible with both Aqua Optima & Brita MAXTRA filter jug, but NOT MAXTRA+ or PerfectFit filter jugs. These filters also fit Tesco, Wilko, AmazonBasics, Aquaphor branded water filter jugs & cost £14.99 for 6.

Look on Ebay, I got my replacement ink cartridges from there, both for a good bit less than the named ones were. They worked just as well and I had no bother with any of them.

Please excuse my ignorance - but what are they filtering?

Mainly lead, chlorine, asbestos, benzene, particulates and other contaminants.

doesn't say much for the water supply if something like that is needed!

My water smells sort of 'chemically ' but not every day, so I use the filter - tea and coffee tastes better !
