UK Households Embrace Bear Grylls’ Water Filter to Save Money

Households across the United Kingdom are increasingly turning to a new under-sink water filter, co-owned by adventurer Bear Grylls, as a cost-effective alternative to bottled water. The Water2 Pod 2.0 Starter Kit, which typically retails for £129 with annual replacement filters costing £99, is currently available for just £109 using the exclusive code ‘READER’. This product is designed to enhance the quality of tap water while significantly reducing plastic waste.

The Water2 Pod 2.0 has gained acclaim as a straightforward solution for improving tap water quality. It effectively removes up to 99.99% of microplastics and bacteria, as well as over 95% of chlorine. Users report that the water tastes fresh and clean, free from the unpleasant flavours and odours often associated with standard tap water. With over 150,000 homes already using this compact system, it connects directly to existing taps and fits conveniently under kitchen sinks.

Founded in 2020 by entrepreneur Charles Robinson, the Water2 brand stands out for its advanced multi-stage filtration technology. This system targets not just chlorine and odours, but also microplastics, bacteria, and trace contaminants like lead, which can evade conventional filters. As a result, users can enjoy water that feels safer and tastes significantly better.

Installation and Cost Savings

Installation of the Water2 Pod 2.0 is straightforward, taking about ten minutes without the need for professional help. The system connects directly to the cold water line, keeping countertops clutter-free. Replacement of the filter capsules is required only once a year, and the kit comes with a 100-day money-back trial and a five-year warranty for added reassurance.

According to the brand, households spending around £20 monthly on bottled water could save over £140 annually by switching to the Water2 system. This shift not only eliminates single-use plastics but also contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle.

Consumer Feedback and Market Alternatives

The Water2 Pod 2.0 Starter Kit has amassed over 13,000 positive reviews on its website. One satisfied customer noted, “With the use of the Water2 filter, tap water became drinkable. No more hard limescale in the kettle, and we’ve eliminated the need for a jug filter.” Another buyer remarked, “This filter has really changed the taste of our tap water, and we’re saving a small fortune on bottled water purchases.”

Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, some customers expressed reservations. One reviewer commented, “Better than the mains but still lacking taste.” Yet, many more praised the product, with one stating, “Crisp, lovely water. No smell of chlorine. Delicious!”

For those exploring alternatives, other filtration options are available. The Franke Doric Filterflow Monobloc Tap, reduced from £335.95 to £225.95, features an advanced ceramic filtration system and delivers hot, cold, and filtered water. The Abode Orcus 3 Way Aquifier Chrome Filtered Water Kitchen Mixer Tap is another option, available for £367.20, promising “crystal clear filtered water.”

The Water2 Pod 2.0 Starter Kit is poised to continue its rise in popularity as consumers seek practical solutions for better water quality while contributing to environmental sustainability.
