5 reasons NEW mums are using this water filter to fight back against their hyper-sensitive senses
By Emma Clarke New Mum Tips n' Tricks
Are you a pregnant mum who's trying everything to drink enough water but are constantly put off by the smell or taste?
Tap water smells like a swimming pool. Filter jugs require multiple manual daily refills. The smell of plastic from a plastic bottle makes the water taste as if it's been left in back of the car for days.
You've even tried glass mason jars, herbal teas and mint-infused water but nothing stops that off-putting odour that makes drinking enough water a real challenge.
This is exactly why over 180,000 UK homes use this obvious yet forgotten about trick to stop their water having a hold over them.
1. The change of smell is NOT in your head
The change of smell and taste is different for everyone. But a common one we read about is water that tastes 'metallic' or 'swimming pool like' or 'copper coiny'.
This can be caused by something called Dysgeusia, a distorting of your taste.

2. You're told to drink more water - but what if it tastes rank?
Like a lot of advice, staying hydrated is always mentioned. But what do you do when the water tastes horrible?
Chlorine is routinely used to disinfect the water - great.
But this water can then taste like a leisure centre swimming pool - not great.
This Chlorine smell can be contributing to your current distaste for water. That's why a water filter can make a real difference to your sense of smell and taste.
3. Why I would switch to something powerful and easy to setup
Unlike a lot of filter systems, I would always reccomend one where you don't need a new tap. That can turn into a lot of headache (that you definitely don't need at the moment).
I'd reccomend something that goes under the sink and turns the tap into a stream of filtered water before it reaches your glass.
No bulky jug filters, no endless refills — just filtered, great-tasting water whenever you turn on the tap.
4. It's not just tackling the smell and taste - it's what else it can filter
I feel that people are becoming more aware of what they consume, whether it's the food they eat, the clothes they wear or the water they drink. It's good to be in as much control as possible.
That's why the Water2 Pod 2.0 can filter up to 95.28% of Chlorine tackling that smell and taste.
But it can also filter things like lead, microplastics and THM's as well.* It's powerful, convenient and trusted by over 180,000 homes to deliver filtered water straight from the tap.
5. Taste can be subjective but satisfaction shouldn't be
Water2 offers a 100 day 'love it or leave it' guarantee on all of their orders.
That means you can try it for 99 days and on the 99th day if you are not absolutely certain that having filtered water on tap has not improved your life, feel free to return for a full refund.

Water2 gives you the best tasting water, guaranteed. It’s also simple to setup so you can start drinking filtered water from the tap in just 10 minutes.
Absolutely love the filter! We did a before and after taste test and it’s clearly filtered out the chlorine, and I love that it filters microplastics, too.
I found that the instructions could have been clearer for installing it, but got there eventually!
I love this water filter I know drink from my tap and the water tastes well better. I also notice the difference in the kettle since I started using the filter happy customer so far.
It really does what it says, the water taste has improved and my kettle doesn't need to be descaled every couple of months. Also, the replacement of the capsule is a relatively easy procedure.
Excellent piece of kit, I wouldn't be without it and would recommend it to anyone.
So easy to fit and wish we’d have done it years ago. Not drank from the tap for over eight years as we don’t trust the water.
We’ve done a blindfold taste test and couldn’t tell the difference from bottled water.
Still feels a bit strange using the tap to get our drinking water but getting used to it and it’s saving us a small fortune!
Thanks so much X
Water taste is so much better, but...
Need a better installation video. Most smaller homes have dish washer etc under the sink. Currently mine also feeds the dish washer, changing that in a few days.
Other than that really glad we bought the water2.
Easyish to install but partner had to screw some fittings to lift the filters into the under kitchen cabinet to allow the drawer to close. Something to support with this in kit would have been useful. Great filter device - water is delish and we are grateful to now not have to fill up a filter jug.
only issue was the non return value, as I was not able to fit it due to the length of the thread on the internal side was too long, so i could not make a water tight seal with the isolating valve
The last replacement I put in I had bought a year in advance as a double pack, it lasted about 6 months before starting to taste off- like there was dirt/mould somewhere inside. As soon as I replaced the filter the water has been perfect and pure. So I'm disappointed with the last one but really happy with this one!
We change ours after about ten months rather than 12. The water pressure was so low at the end of the other one’s life it was obvious we had to change it. They must have updated the design as the water pressure is much stronger with this version than the last - just like normal. Anyway, it tastes great and makes me feel happier to know I am drinking good water.
My second year of using Water2. The first having the second red filter. Living in a hard water area, my water is even clearer now of timescale etc. As you can see thenspace, under the sink, isn’t vast: but still fits. Super easy to install.
