from a bore hole "if you are in a hard water area or like me living in the countryside and raising your water from a bore hole the significance of effective water filters take on increased importance"	54.6%

i feel sick "i have emailed brita cause now i feel sick "	54.5%
not rough with "i must emphasise i was not rough with it and it was not dropped"	54.4%
furred ' and stains "living in an area built on chalk isn’t the reason as it wasn’t an issue in our other house but what that chalk does do is leave the kettle ‘furred’ and stains the insides"	54.4%
would likely "it is not necessary to have the lid on unless there is some very smelly or contagious stuff in the fridge in which case the lid would likely not be efficient anyway"	54.4%
this expensive "so no pint to buy this expensive if you can get much cheaper previous model"	54.2%

nowhere else "and nowhere else"	53.8%
taste test "i'd go back to setting a calendar reminder for 28 days and do a taste test on the last day before deciding to replace the filter"	53.7%
instead of the old jugs "but it is a big thing because this package only includes 1 filter and it could be an expensive change to use this instead of the old jugs and it is something people should definitely consider when deciding on which model to use"	53.7%
water filter jugs "never been a big fan of water filter jugs although i have had some over the years"	53.7%
meter not working "plus meter not working"	53.6%
failed on previous models "the removeable sensor screwed under the lid lights up as the filtered water is poured much better than the 4bar reminder system that has failed on previous models i’ve used making it easier to clean and de scale"	53.4%
preventing scummy "compared to my old "generic brand" water filter the water filters through very quickly and it definitely improves the taste compared to tap water as well as preventing scummy tea "	53.3%
senseitive enough "easier to clean than the old styles but the indicator light is not senseitive enough and doesn’t give you much morning between amber and red"	53.2%

that a problem "there’s no rubber base but we don’t find that a problem"	52.9%
ridding tea of scum "hard water in london or most cities might be a problem but ridding tea of scum for a proper tasting brew is no longer an issue plus filtering our water before putting it in the kettle means the tea tastes better and the kettle lasts longer win win!"	52.9%
not accommodate them "i mistakenly bought three older cartridges before i opened the box and discovered that this jug had been designed to not accommodate them"	52.6%
simple and rather obvious "it is easy to use as well putting it together is simple and rather obvious i certainly did not need to read the manual as it is pretty obvious what plugs into what "	52.6%

inaccurate indicator "more an inaccurate indicator to me"	52.5%
no compatible filters "the jug uses the new maxtra+ filter they are a different design to the previous ones which won't fit this jug they are also much more expensive and there no compatible filters like the excellent amazonbasics ones available"	52.5%
dead giveaway "further update: the flashing indicator light appears to have nothing whatsoever to do with the water quality coming out of the jug: dead giveaway 1: if you take the lid off and tilt it as if you were pouring the light flashes which means it's not activated by water contact but by a tilt sensor"	52.4%

trickle down "no pun intended the jug is watertight and snug so pouring overflowing water into the tank doesn't trickle down into the filtered water"	52.1%
very short time "i bought two extra cartridges which are now obsolete because the jug just leaks all the water out in a very short time"	52.0%

much more expensive "what a surprise the new ones are much more expensive"	52.0%
none replaceable "the filter status indictor is none replaceable and only lasted 3 months"	51.8%
small hole "well apparently this should have a light on the lid to warn when the filter is consumed but there is no light there was nothing in the box and there is just a small hole in the container lid "	51.7%
waste of time "the smart light is a waste of time really because it works on time rather than the amount of liquid that passes through it therefore if you are a single person you would be changing the cartridge way before time compared to a family who is filling it a lot more"	51.6%
neither are the filters "it isn’t that expensive neither are the filters"	51.6%
looks cheap "first is the look that pull tag that lifts the lid for water filling looks cheap and you feel the ned to pull it rather than use it as a lever"	51.5%

exactly the same "the replacement jug was exactly the same"	51.0%
little slower "perhaps a little slower than my previous filter"	51.0%
slow ish pace "the water filters through at a slow ish pace which might irritate the more impatient user but this doesn't have to be problematic just top it up each time you use some and you can happily drink your water while it filters through its next batch in its own time"	50.8%
fairly expensive "on the minus side the filters are fairly expensive and although the jug has 2"	50.7%
have a problem "just have a problem in the beginning because the box did not come with the manual how to use it"	50.7%
