Here’s a good deal from Amazon – you’ll get a good discount for buying in bulk, it’s cheaper than you’ll find the same package (if you can find it) in the high street shops and the postage is free as well.

The Maxtra cartidges tend to last about 4 weeks (depending on your usage of course) – so this pack will keep you going for a full year.

    Every year over 200 billion bottles of water are sold. According to current estimates less than 25% of the empty bottles are recycled. It’s an environmental disaster. If all those empty bottles were laid out end to end they would cover enough distance to get to the moon and back – 56 times!

    What’s more, in blind taste tests most people can’t tell the difference between common or garden tap water and bottled water.

    And, as if that wasn’t bad enough, some bottled water has been found to contain chemicals which “leech” out of the plastic (PET) bottles.

    Anyway – Brita’s anniversary pack has everything you need to get great tasting healthy water at home or on the go.

    Here’s what you get:

  • Marella Cool Blue water filter jug
  • 1 Sports Bottle
  • 3 free Cartridges
  • Wottle – Reusable Designer Water Bottle

    Jug filters, undersink filters, tap filters, whole house filters – they’re all great. The only small problem is that they are intended for use in the home, so you are a bit tied. Of course, if you’re just heading out to the gym you can easily fill up a water bottle, no problem.

    However, if you’re going to travelling for some time, maybe camping or just holidaying abroad then you may need a slightly different solution. The Aquapure Traveller water bottle might be just what you’re looking for. Fully tested by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the MOD and endorsed by the Hospital for Tropical Diseases. The Aquapure Traveller allows you to purify water wherever you are. Depending upon the quality of the water source, it will allow you to produce up to 350 litres of safe, good tasting drinking water.

    All you have to do is fill the bottle from any fresh water source, screw the cap on, shake the bottle and wait for fifteen minutes. It kills Giardia and Cryptosporidium viruses, removes toxic chemicals, odours, bad taste, sediment and heavy metals.

    By treating the water yourself you will be assured of the quality and you will be helping the environment by not generating a pile of empty plastic bottles.

    When the filter runs out, just get a new one and replace it. Easy. Eco-friendly.

    Technical Details

    • Easy to use- no tablets required
    • Convenient and compact
    • Produces up to 350 litres of safe drinking water
    • Approved by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
    • Unique water purification system
