The taste difference was immediate. We noticed a huge improvement straight away. Water tastes clean and fresh, and the whole system feels very solid and premium.
I absolutely love our new UFX3 filter system! The difference in water quality was noticeable straight away — it tastes so much cleaner and smoother. I feel confident knowing it’s removing all the nasties, from chlorine and heavy metals to microplastics and bacteria. The setup was easy, and I really like the modern design, it fits our kitchen well. It’s honestly one of those upgrades that makes a big difference day to day, especially for our family’s health. Highly recommend to anyone who wants truly pure drinking water at home.
Love this filter. Does exactly what it says. Water tastes great and it looks great. Taking up little space and doing a big job.
Fantastic water filter, best I’ve tried. Taste is great, fast pressure & sleek design under sink. Great to see a NZ company innovating and doing things better.
My skin does not feel so dry, and also my hair for the shower filters. We love the drinking filters, the water is amazing and we drink way more, and so do our pets.
Absolutely fantastic Services. Great price, clear communication and fast delivery. David, the plumber was very professional, friendly. Thank you😊
Nice looking unit. Easy installation Super clean drinking water. Will save a ton buying tanks!
I'd never thought I could explain the texture of water until I tried the water from out brand new Hydrate water filter! The water that comes out is 'soft' and almost has a 'silky' feel to it and it tastes delicious and I wish we'd installed one years ago
Really makes such a difference, best purchase!
Absolutely brilliant! Easy to install. Water is tasting fresh and so much nicer to drink. Best purchase I've ever made.
We have had our filter in for a few weeks now and it’s amazing we absolutely love it. I gave my partner a glass of bottled water, straight tap water and the water filtered with the UFX3, he could taste the difference, he could tell after trying the glass of filtered water then moving on to the bottled water he could taste the difference and then he gagged on the final taste of the tap water 😆 I’ve found myself drinking so much more water now which is so beneficial for me with breastfeeding and it was really easy to install and haven’t had any issues at all we are really impressed. Massive bonus my 5yo loves getting her fresh water from the tap.
So happy with the purchase. Can tell the difference from tap water so so glad we have made the switch
We just installed it 2 weeks ago and it’s amazing we absolutely love it! I gave my partner a glass of bottled water, straight tap water and the water filtered with the UFX3, he could taste the difference, he could tell after trying the glass of filtered water then moving on to the bottled water he could taste the difference and then he gagged on the final taste of the tap water 😆 I’ve found myself drinking so much more water now which is so beneficial for me with breastfeeding, my 5 year old loves getting her own glass of water from the new tap, massive bonus, and it was really easy to install and haven’t had any issues at all we are really impressed. Saving a lot not buying water now and have even purchased one for my in-laws house as their water is a terrible town supply with fluoride and chlorine added and often discoloured so excited to see how well it filters theirs
Great unit, water tastes great and feel happy knowing im drinking safer water!
Premium product Good idea to get rid of the nastys in water
Super easy to install! Love the tap as it sits high enough in the bench for fitting drink bottles underneath.
Liquid gold on tap !! Highly rate these water filters, easy install to which makes it a bonus, and don't cost the earth 👌
