The filter jug in the fridge has been a British kitchen staple for decades. But if you’ve ever waited for one to drip through, or wondered what it’s really taking out, you’re not alone. Here’s why thousands of households have replaced it with a countertop reverse osmosis purifier.
1Your jug filters less than you think
Most filter jugs use carbon. It improves taste and reduces chlorine, but carbon alone isn’t designed to remove things like fluoride. The Watery uses 4-stage reverse osmosis, with a membrane that stops particles down to 0.001 microns.
2No more waiting for it to drip through
Fill a jug, wait, pour two glasses, start again. The Watery holds 5 litres and fills its own 1.4-litre pitcher automatically, so cold filtered water is always ready.
“Instant clean water better than the other filter jugs.”
Gavin Verified buyer3It replaces your kettle too
This is the one owners talk about most. Tap the screen for instant hot water at the temperature you choose for tea, coffee or formula, with a child lock on the hot setting.
“I won’t ever have a kettle again, the instant hot water is a game changer!”

4No plumber, no drilling, no hassle
Under-sink systems need a plumber and holes in your worktop. The Watery sits on the counter: fill the tank, plug it in, done. Ideal for renters, and smaller than a bean-to-cup coffee machine.
“Just delivered and set up in a jiffy, water tastes amazing and so easy to use… love it.”
Victoria C. Verified buyer5It pays for itself, and you can try it for 100 days
No more cartridges every month, no more bottled water. And if it’s not for you, send it back within 100 days. Every Watery has a 2-year warranty.
“It will pay for itself in a few weeks and then it will continually save you money and give you delicious water.”
Ian S. Verified buyerThe honest answers
“Will it fit in my kitchen?”
It’s 23 × 42 × 37.5 cm. Most owners put it exactly where their kettle used to be, because it replaces it.
“I was initially worried as I have a small kitchen but it sits right where my kettle used to… I’ve not lost any worktop space.” Kay T. Verified buyer
“Is it noisy? Does it waste water?”
It filters quietly in the background and keeps waste water low.
“The waste water to usable water ratio is very low and the noise is minimal when processing water.” Robert Verified buyer
“Is the hot water really hot enough for tea?”
Yes. Pick your temperature on the screen, from warm for herbal tea to hot for builder’s.
“The water is boiling for my tea in the morning, and I was sceptical about this… I’ll just say it works!” Jodie S.
“Will I actually taste a difference?”
Carbon removes the chlorine taste, then reverse osmosis takes out up to 99.9% of what’s left.
“You realise how pure tasting it is in comparison to drinking standard tap water which has a definite taint of chlorine in our area.” Sarah F.
“Isn’t the water tank a pain to refill?”
You don’t need to lift it out. Most owners just top it up in place with a jug.
“Just fill the tank up initially and then top up using a jug.” Susan Verified buyer
“What about replacement filters?”
ACF filters last up to 3 months and Ultra PR filters up to 12, depending on your water. Both are sold on our website, and the first 300 pre-orders get a spare ACF filter in the box so your first change is covered.
“What if I don’t like it?”
Live with it for 100 days. If it’s not for you, send it back. It also comes with a 2-year warranty.
“What if my pre-order is late?”
We dispatch from 27 Oct in the order pre-orders were placed, and email tracking the day yours leaves. Cancel any time before dispatch for a full refund.
“I did have my concerns when reading the comments… but don’t be put off, I’m really glad I went ahead and purchased it.” Mark J. Verified buyer

What owners say
If you drink a lot of bottled water or your tap sucks then you must get one of these machines… It will pay for itself in a few weeks and then it will continually save you money.
By far the best water filter I’ve had. I won’t ever have a kettle again, the instant hot water is a game changer!
Instant clean water better than the other filter jugs. Instant hot water at the amount I need, not boiling 1.5 litres of water in a kettle only to use 300ml.
