I’m based in London, the water is really hard and drinking water, and more importantly tea is so much better with any sort of filtration.

I use a refillable filter called Phox—they’re a smaller UK brand that offers three types of refills: one that just filters, one that filters and softens (my choice), and one called the Alkaline pack which maintains calcium and adds magnesium and ups the pH.

I used to use Brita filters and the amount of plastic waste would really bug me. I’d definitely get a filtration system installed if I owned my own home but Phox feels like a good solution in the meantime.

…not that owning my own place in London is going to happen, but a poor little wage slave can dream.

Milli-Q water filter

I’m a big fan of my Lifestraw pitcher! It’s got a great filter.

None, we have potable water here.

I don’t drink water. I fill my tea kettle from the tap, as chlorine evaporates rapidly and completely from hot water. I usually drink two pints this way (one coffee and one herbal tea), and I drink a can of fizzy water at lunch, and maybe a beer with dinner.
