Product Description
Tap water is safe to drink because it is regulated and controlled by the local water authorities. Nevertheless pipelines, some of which are old and obsolete, may release undesirable substances. These, together with the chlorine, which prevents bacteria growth, may affect the appearance and taste of the tap water.
Filtered water using a jug and cartridge system has been drunk daily in Europe for more than 30 years, by approximately 50 million people.
The most practical and cost effective way to filter water and reduce limescale, chlorine, lead, zinc, copper, some pesticides and herbicides, whilst maintaining the essential elements such as calcium and magnesium, giving water an excellent taste and appearance, is to use a LAICA water filtering system with jug and cartridge.
5 stage filtration (see product image)
The key part of the system is the cartridge. It contains activated carbon and ion-exchange resin which are very effective in reducing undesirable substances in tap water.
Why choose a LAICA Water Filter / Cartridge?
CONVENIENCE - Water always available, no need to carry heavy bottles.
COST EFFECTIVE - The water filtered using LAICA cartridges costs only a few cents/pence per litre.
TASTE - Water filters greatly improve the appearance and taste of water e.g. hot & cold drinks and food preparation.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY - A water filter helps the environment as it reduces pollution i.e. transportation and the disposal of empty plastic bottles.

5.0 out of 5 stars
High quality, and filling a gap in the market,
By
This review is from: LAICA 6 PACK UNIVERSAL CLASSIC CARTRIDGE - FITS MOST JUGS THAT USE THE CLASSIC CARTRIDGE: BRITA, (NOT BRITA MAXTRA), KENWOOD, BOOTS
Those with Kenwood and other water filters that aren't Brita may, like me, have been relying on Brita's 'universal' filters for some time, because they were much easier to find than the other brands. But a while ago Brita stopped selling 'universal' filters, presumably assuming that they'd be able to sell one of their own jugs to all the people who had been left stranded.
Now Laica have stepped up, and their product offers quality which is just as good as any other filter I've used before. I should say, particularly as it's been mentioned as a problem in another review, that Brita filters also 'let through' quite a lot of water the first few times they're used; if you follow the instructions on the packaging, and soak the filter in water for a while first, then go through a couple of complete cycles before you use the filtered water, these Laica filters behave just like the now unavailable Brita ones, and quickly 'slow down' as the filter-filling swells with use. The non-Brita jug community can feel confident that this is a thoroughly reliable substitute for their old brand, and resist Brita's attempt to completely dominate their market.

Not great in hard water areas,

This review is from: LAICA 6 PACK UNIVERSAL CLASSIC CARTRIDGE - FITS MOST JUGS THAT USE THE CLASSIC CARTRIDGE: BRITA, (NOT BRITA MAXTRA), KENWOOD, BOOTS
Yes, these are cheaper than the big name brands but there is a difference in quality. I noticed straight away that the water goes through the filter very quickly compared with other types, which makes me think they don't actually have much inside. As a result, we get much more limescale build-up in the kettle than with say Brita or Boots filters, which seem better packed with filling, and take a while to filter the water.
If you live in a hard water area, I'd think twice about these, but they're probably OK elsewhere if you just want to improve the taste of tap water. It's probably fair to say you get what you pay for.

REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGE FOR WATER FILTER,
This review is from: LAICA 6 PACK UNIVERSAL CLASSIC CARTRIDGE - FITS MOST JUGS THAT USE THE CLASSIC CARTRIDGE: BRITA, (NOT BRITA MAXTRA), KENWOOD, BOOTS
Have bought these twice now from Amazon and they are excellent value for money and includes free delivery. They work very well as a filter but you need to be carefull when pushing in to make sure you get a good seal or the water just leaks straight through. Would definetely reccomend.
