Phox Wave 2.8L Water Filter Jug, Adds Magnesium and Alkalinity, Filtered Mineral Rich Water, Refillable Eco Cartridge, BPA Free

I was fed up with inferior quality of supermarket bought filter jugs and liked the look of the Phox and its filter system. I’m not disappointed. The jug is sturdier than Brita’s product, it doesn’t leak all over the fridge like cheaper jugs, and I like that you have a choice of filter materials. The Phox fits in the fridge much better than Brita’s and looks good too. It takes a little while to set it up but the instructions are good and there’s a video on the company’s site to assist, if required. Because it uses loose filter materials, the filtration process does take longer and you may occasionally need to clear the bottom of the filter container by running it under the tap, but I so much prefer this jug. Quality, looks, and water taste are so much better than my old jug.

Setting up the water filter in 10 steps was (relatively) easy and it was worth doing it correctly. They provide how-to as a paper leaflet inside the package, plus online manual with videos. After setting up I am pleased with the taste and quality of it's filtered water. It removes the bad stuff and keeps the good content in. Filtration is very fast, within minutes you have a full jug. The only downside is that the mobile app Phox Water for Android cannot be installed on my phone because it's available only for obsolete Android OS versions. Thus, I can't use it. But the app function is only to calculate how many days until replacing the filter cartridge. Such a thing you can either remember or set up a reminder for 45 days in other apps anyway. Despite of that, I am proud to purchase this water filter because the taste is great, keep good minerals in, and I feel good because it's manufactured in the UK by the real British brand which has sustainability, reusability and nature in its core values. Other brands throw away a whole cartridges every time while this one only top-up preprepared content into the filter, which hopefully means less waste and lower environmental impact. The package came with 90 days of supply (two sachets for 45 days each). 👍

I came across Phox quite by chance, while googling ‘easy to use water filters’. As I’m working to reduce my plastic consumption I was amazed that this system exists, yet it seems so obvious - instead of replacing the entire plastic filter cartridge, the cartridge itself is refillable. You simply order a new sachet of carbon filter stuff, which comes with a new filter disc: refill the cartridge, soak it for 6 minutes, run through a couple of jugs of water and you’re good to go!The jug is a nice style too and fits into my fridge door way better than my previous jug (which was starting to crack anyway, so was on the verge of needing replacement) and seems very sturdy. The part in the lid where you fill it with water is nicer than on my previous jug too, and seems much less likely to attract crusty limescale - which I could never seem to clean off.All in all I’m a massive convert to Phox and have already subscribed to them directly for the refill sachets (there’s a choice of 3; 2 that depend on the hardness of your water, and one that even adds electrolytes). So not only is it easier than the previous system, I’m cutting down massively on the amount of plastic going off to be down-cycled (not many plastics can be recycled).

The jug fits nicely in the fridge door but it is very slow to filter the water through. Also you need to hold the whole top on when pouring the water out otherwise the whole thing will fall out. Which has nearly happened a couple of times. Never had that problem with other jugs and I have bought a few over the years. The water does taste nice and it really does take all of the nasty chemicals away. I also like that you can refill the filter instead of having to buy new plastic filters too and you can choose between the three different types of filter. So apart from it being top heavy maybe a different design would help I really like it.

Having suffered for so long with acid reflux and had surgery (fundoplication) to help, I wanted to keep my diet acid free. I bought the Alkaline Water Filter. The water does taste different, softer, it's hard to explain, and it's so much nicer than unfiltered natural water! I've always struggled to drink as much as I should, but now I'm drinking much more water than before and I love it! I'm only filling the filter with half the amount recommended in the pack and it still does the same, which will save money on refils. I'm so glad I bought this. It's easy to set up and to use, and the size will fit in my fridge door and is not in the way on my kitchen surface. Great water filter!

Amazed at how much it has improved my water quality.Very impressed with the environmentally-friendly consumablesI'm fortunate to live in a soft-water area and so can use the alkaline filters which add minerals to the water as well as remove the lead and other metals.£3.33 a month for 2-litres a day... That's £0.05 a litre. And it does turn my all but undrinkable tap water into something that tastes as good as bottled.Highly recommended product from a Scottish manufacturer turning out a great and stylish product at a decent price.

Nor as bulky as my previous water filter jug and I like the style, easy to set up and came with 3 months filter packs, I need the softener pack as I hard water area, water tastes good

The Phox water jug fits into the fridge door compartment to keep the water cold.The jug is easy to clean and adding new filter’s is a breeze. It comes with a small carbon felt filter and a packet of granules. We choose the clean pack and the water taste’s very fresh and definitely clean. The refill lasts 45 days and comes with app to check when to replace the filter very handy. Filters fairly quickly, has clogged before but simply shake the granules and this unclogs them.I would recommend this water filter jug to anyone.
