Phox V2 Water Filter | 2.2L Glass Water Filter Jug and Refillable Eco Cartridge Cartridge | 3 Month Supply

The media could not be loaded. The amount of time I spent researching which was the best water filter for me is embarrassing really... but moving on, I'm SO pleased I went with this one. My main two concerns were great taste, and less microplastics consumed - so I definitely knew I wanted the jug to be glass. I have had a Brita jug for many (many) years, and it's been fine, so I initially was going to go with the glass Brita jug because I thought it looked "prettier" than this one. (Shallow of me I know - don't judge).I figured I could just swap out the Brita filter for the Phox "compatible" filter, resulting in being able to have a prettier jug and eliminating the "throw away Brita filters". Win win! However, a couple of reviews (on both the Phox and the Phox compatible cartridges) made me think that the Phox was far and away the better choice over the Brita, and I should just get over my ridiculous notion that looks mean anything. Surely what matters is the taste and the environment?I felt the price was excellent value for money, especially for what you get - and the price of the filter replacement sachets were very much the same £ compared to other brands, so there was really no reason to not go for it. I loved the Scottish owned company with their values and genuine love for the environment, and the amount of importance they placed on good water for your health.When it arrived I actually quite liked the look of it, it was sturdy, easy to pull apart/put together (someone said they had problems with this, not sure how?) and had a lovely little rubbery base to protect the glass. It's a bit taller than the other jugs, but SO easy to fill - just push the little "tear drop" tab at the top and turn on the tap! Don't even have to remove the lid to do this. Super convenient and very easy to use.Someone else said that the size of the container was small, but you fill it up, let it filter, fill it up half again and there's plenty there. Ok it's not as big as the Brita, but keeping the filter full, and a jug in the fridge jug full - there's plenty of water around!Speaking of my fridge jug - I felt there's no point eliminating micro-plastics in my filter if I'm only going to put the filtered water into a plastic jug, so found a lovely big 1.8L glass jug that fits in the door of my fridge (search "Glass water judge for fridge door" and you'll see it, very pretty mottled glass jug with a gold handle).I had no problems with water pouring out the top (the "fill" compartment) as others mentioned, I think that might happen if you try to pour too quickly after filling? Let it filter first! The style of the jug means that you do have to sometimes lift it almost horizontal to get the water to come out but I'm not sure why that would be a problem for anyone.The water tastes amazing, very clear and clean tasting. In the video I had had the jug for only 2 weeks. At the time of writing this I've had it for nearly 2 months and it's been literally one of my favourite purchases so far. I get enjoyment from it each and every day.If I could give it 10 stars I would.

I have had a Brita jug for years and I was feeling more and more disappointed of the amount of wasted plastic it generated through the disposable cartridges as well as the slightly underwhelming quality of the filtered water that it produced.as a result, and after a fair amount of market research I decided to give Phox a go as it seemed to be reasonably priced and had fairly positive reviews.Things I like about it: the fact that the reservoir is glass and hopefully will provide a less microplastc contaminated drink, the filtering granules that come in a paper like sachet and go in a reusable holder so less plastic generated, the taste of the water after filtering is through the Clean type filter is very pleasant and the kettle does not seem to accumulate timescale quite as fast.Things that could be better: the capacity of the jug is smallish especially for a bigger family and the filtering takes slightly longer than with the Brita. However, this is a slight inconvenience rather than a negative for me personally. Initially, there was water trickling over the sides of the filter which was a real negative for me but after a bit of adjusting it seems to have resolved. The only true negative for me is that there still is an element of plastic to the jug and the pouring ergonomics are a little bit akward especially if used to poor water in a kettle.Overall, very pleased with the product, great value for money and water taste is very pleasant. I am looking forward to testing the other two types of filter.

Have 4 stars because the instructions don’t tell you how to get the lid off. I will tell you. Think of it as a new jar of jam or pickles and place jug upside down somewhere safe I used the sink. Gently push a butter knife under the lip of black top grasp handle and try ease it away and then turn it and do the same thing the other side. I can’t remember I think anti clockwise it came off. This is me after two hours of trying to turn the darn thing.Then follow the instructions to the second when soaking the cartridge that you’ve put the filter pellets into, hold it under inside the water you poured into the glass jar so all the bubbles are out. The rest is easy, if you read the instructions.Please Phox can you update your instructions for easing the black lid/ jug off of the glass jug. I have arthritis and it’s difficult without knowing. All that aside it seems pretty good and sturdy.

Finally!! Water tasting like water. For many years , I’ve always had the plastic jugs with plastic cartridges until the last one whereby the cartridges weren’t even fitting properly, I threw the lot in the bin and bought this. Beautifully presented in protective wrapping and box, easy to read instructions (rare) and beautiful delicious clear water. So easy to set up. Delighted to say the least. Would absolutely recommend . Thank you for quick delivery

Like: it is glass and therefore dishwasher safe, it is relatively simple to refill with the filter packs, easy water fill, water tastes lovely.Con: It feels a bit unbalanced and is a tad heavy. It is no beauty.

Perfect

Very good quality. Works out a lot cheaper than other models.
