A family in Parkhurst had been buying bottled water for years. Not because the municipal water was unsafe, Rand Water does a solid job treating it, but because the taste put them off. The chlorine smell was strong, especially in summer when treatment levels go up. They'd fill glasses from the tap and it tasted like a swimming pool.
They were spending over R800 a month on 5-litre bottles. It added up. And the plastic waste bothered them too.
We installed an under-sink carbon block filter in their kitchen. The whole job took about two hours. We connected it to a dedicated filter tap next to the main kitchen tap, tested the pressure, checked for leaks, and ran water through until the carbon was flushed.
The husband filled a glass, tasted it, and said: "That's it? That's all it needed?"
Their monthly bottled water spend dropped to zero. The filter cartridge costs a fraction of what they were paying for bottles. And the water tastes clean, because it is.
