Nice looking gravity filters!
I was curious about their pitcher filters, but noticed this:
"Adds essential minerals like calcium, magnesium and potassium to support your health."
I use filtered water in kettles and coffee makers specifically because it lacks minerals, which can leave deposits that are unsightly and difficult to remove. Adding them back would defeat that purpose :(
And there couldn't possibly be enough minerals added to warrant them being in your drinking water.
Such a shame :(
$126 for 6 replacement filters?? I grabbed a 10 pack of Kirkland filters for $30 a few months back which I haven't cracked yet since I'm still working with the 3 filters included with the pitcher. And these guys want $100 (on "sale") for their equivalent pitcher? That was $25 at Costco.
All for supporting Canadian businesses but these guys need to rethink the price point here, maybe add some gold trim or something to justify it. It's a plastic pitcher made from a mold, the filters use basic carbon filtering like the rest, then they add in the minerals which might add a few pennies to the cost. Aim for at worst 10% above the incumbent well known brands but they're not going to survive being triple the price point.
Maybe I'm being biased because I grew up in Vancouver. But I don't really think most people in Canada necessarily need a water filter....
Calgary here, we need it. We have very hard water, so have a whole home water softener installed, which does remove those minerals so adding them back in to drinking water isn't necessarily a bad thing. Main reason we use a water filter pitcher in the fridge though, coffee and ice machine, there have been too many instances of our water treatment plant blasting a chlorine surge through the system which resulted in horrid tasting ice and coffee :)
That makes sense. Yeah, guess I'll check my bias on water quality in Canada 🤣
