    I’m based in London, the water is really hard and drinking water, and more importantly tea is so much better with any sort of filtration.

    I use a refillable filter called Phox—they’re a smaller UK brand that offers three types of refills: one that just filters, one that filters and softens (my choice), and one called the Alkaline pack which maintains calcium and adds magnesium and ups the pH.

    I used to use Brita filters and the amount of plastic waste would really bug me. I’d definitely get a filtration system installed if I owned my own home but Phox feels like a good solution in the meantime.

    …not that owning my own place in London is going to happen, but a poor little wage slave can dream.
