Does Filtered Water Taste Better?

Consumer magazine Choice says that filtration can help remove odour, taste and particles in water. This is also supported by agencies such as the West Australian Department of Health which says that filtration can remove tastes and odours that are both naturally occurring or caused by a disinfection process. So, to the question, ‘Does filtered water taste better than unfiltered tap water?’ The answer is almost certainly: yes!

 

What Makes Tap Water Taste Bad and Do Water Filters Make Water Taste Better?

There are many reasons why tap water might taste bad that are both natural and artificial. Different bacteria can muddy the flavour. Likewise, different contaminants and additives can cause a chemical taste. To help address these and health-related concerns Billi offers a variety of water filters available to suit domestic and commercial needs.

 

Why Does Filtered Water Taste Different?
