​Water Filters Save $$$ and Effort - March 2016

​For over 10 years now I have had a water filter jug sit by our kettle and coffee machine and use filtered water in both these appliances. Whilst other friends have replaced coffee machines and kettles numerous times ours has never missed a beat and the inside of our kettle looks brand new! I replace the water filters every quarter which costs about $20-$30 per year if I can get them on sale or online (or $2 as I found the last box at a garage sale). I calculate this has saved us hundreds of dollars on descaling products (that the appliance manufacturers recommend using regularly) and not having to replace appliances. If only it were as easy to keep the rest of my kitchen so clean!
