We all know how important it is to meet our daily water intake requirements, but that doesn't mean it's always easy. I, for one, am ashamed to admit how frequently I'll reach the end of the day and realize I've barely had more than a cup of water since breakfast. But it's not just the amount of water that is important; we also have to consider the quality of water we're drinking. It can get to be a lot to think about, so finding a product that makes it all easier for you can be a real game changer. And this is exactly why I was so keen to test out the British Berkefeld Gravity System.
A 2024 study led by Imperial College London found that, across the UK, our tap water contains traces of PFAS, also known as 'forever chemicals'. While the levels remain within UK and EU safety limits, we are yet to understand the potential long-term effects of consistent exposure to these chemicals, making filtration systems like this all the more appealing for our modern kitchens. Not only do these water filters claim to remove PFAS, but they also reduce other common contaminants like chlorine and microplastics. Plus, it's a far more cost-effective and environmentally friendly choice than bottled water.
