Personally as the only user of the jug in my household, I don't feel that I would need a bigger one. If you have a bigger household and you are all using it, probably more useful to have a bigger capacity without having to refill it. The plastic handle is a bit annoying to be honest, if you wanted to minimise touching plastics, however as its not touching the water inside it wouldn't bother me. I would only be concerned if any plastics were submerged in the water.
I haven't but it would be a good idea. Something I have noticed however is if I leave water overnight in my metal gym bottle, the following day there is no smell however when I used to fill it up from the tab, it would always have a very strong smell of chlorine.
Hi, I did actually use some boiling water on the new filter, more for the sake of disinfecting it. Not officially required but a good idea I believe. Hope you enjoy it!
@@JoeTomeJoe, just to clarify, in the video you used *boiled* water, not *boiling* water. In other words, the water was not boiling when you inserted it. For it to be effective, the water has to actually be boiling (i.e. above 100°C) in a container on a heat source, otherwise it’s just sitting in hot water (below 100°C) which isn’t as effective at sterilising. Just my two cents!
Every 28-30 days according to the manual but if I go away on holiday I tend to stretch out the change-over (this is not a recommendation by the manufacturer by the way)
Hi, for the weekly clean you put the filter into pot of boiling water without removing the granules. When you are ready to replace the granules (after a month or so) just unscrew the filter and bin them, no boiling required!
Thank you for the review 😊
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the kind comment :)
Thank you Joe for this video. 😊
My pleasure, hope it helped!
👍🏽 Appreciate the explainer pal
Hope it helped with the purchase decision!
Is there a reason why you couldn't use Milton Sterilising fluid as they do for baby bottles etc
Thanks for the review ✌️what do you think of the larger size jug? It does have a plastic handle.

@@JoeTome Thanks for the advice Joe! 🙏Really insightful, please keep making your wonderful videos.

Just wondering if you tested your tap water with tds meter to see the difference before and after

Joe, did you put the filter in boiled water prior to first use?. Just setting mine up now

What’s the material of the black piece that’s at the top of the metal container?
Silicon
Hello! How often do you change the granules?
Every 28-30 days according to the manual but if I go away on holiday I tend to stretch out the change-over (this is not a recommendation by the manufacturer by the way)
do you throw the filter into the boiling water along with the granules or remove them and then return them? Thank you
