Water that doesn't cost the earth from Rangemaster

On the 18^th February 2008, Panorama broadcast research into Britons wasting £2 billion a year on bottled water and neglecting their kitchen tap. Sales of mineral water have been doubling every five years and more than two billion litres are now sold each year.

In December 2007, Claridge’s opened its much-heralded Water Bar, selling 30 brands from exotic worldwide destinations, with some waters being more expensive than good wine.

However in reality, the bottled water business is rather murky - producing and delivering a litre of bottled water emits hundreds of times as much greenhouse gas as a litre of tap water, while there are also growing fears that plastic bottles may leak carcinogenic residues into the water.

Help is at hand from Rangemaster, whose revolutionary ‘MySpa’ diverter system effortlessly transforms any kitchen tap into a filtered water dispenser at the flick of a switch, supplying you with an endless source of crystal clear water.

Easy to install with simple push-fit connectors, MySpa’ works with an ‘on-off’ diverter switch built into your sink’s tap-hole stopper or into the work surface. When the diverter is turned to the ‘on’ position the water mains are redirected through the filter cartridge that is fitted neatly under the sink. The filter cartridge removes all additives and impurities and delivers refreshing and healthy filtered water direct to your tap.

Forget bottled water, this eco friendly alternative will provide your kitchen tap with clear drinking water with a crisp taste, perfect for making hot or cold drinks and for use in cooking. Easy to maintain, Rangemaster will also automatically let you know when it is time to replace the filter cartridge.

Rangemaster’s ‘MySpa’ water diverter kit is priced at £110 with a standard 2 year warranty.
