Why better water is at the heart of a healthier home

When we think about creating a healthier home, we often focus on what we eat, how we exercise or even the air we breathe. But what about the water we drink?

Water is at the heart of balance, health and vitality. It’s the invisible ingredient behind every recipe, cup of tea and family meal. As awareness of wellbeing grows, we’re becoming more conscious of the quality and taste of the water we drink, as well as the impact our choices have on the environment. More than ever, we’re looking for convenient ways to enjoy fresh, filtered water at home without relying on bottled water.

 

 

Why water quality matters

 

Although tap water is safe to drink, factors such as chlorine, limescale and ageing pipework can affect its taste. Depending on where you live, hard water can also cause limescale build-up in kettles and coffee machines.

Filtered water directly from the tap can improve taste and reduce unwanted impurities, helping make hydration part of everyday life. Whether filling a reusable bottle, rinsing fresh ingredients or making morning coffee, great-tasting water on tap makes everyday routines that little bit easier.

A smarter way to stay hydrated

 

At Franke, we believe water should be enjoyed with the same appreciation we give to good food, especially given how much we use every day for drinking, cooking and caring for our families.

That’s why filtration has become an important feature in today’s kitchens. Modern systems are designed to improve taste and odour while reducing chlorine, microplastics and other unwanted impurities, while retaining naturally occurring minerals.

Each filter dispenses up to 500 litres of filtered water removing microplastics, chlorine, pesticides, rust and unpleasant tastes and odours, while retaining beneficial minerals.

Better for the planet too

 

Every minute, around one million plastic bottles are purchased globally, many ending up in landfill or our oceans. Choosing filtered water at home can reduce reliance on single-use plastics while avoiding the cost and inconvenience of buying, carrying and storing bottled water.

Why filter and multifunctional taps are on the rise

 

The kitchen is the heart of every home, where we cook, share, connect and relax. It’s where we want products that combine design, convenience and sustainability that make us feel better and live better.

This explains why multifunctional taps are becoming increasingly popular because they provide standard hot and cold water alongside filtered drinking water from a single, beautifully designed tap. Some solutions even offer chilled, sparkling and instant boiling water, giving you complete flexibility while reducing worktop clutter and jugs in the fridge.

 

Franke Mythos Water Hub tap Mythos Water Hub offers six water options: standard hot and cold, plus four filtered options of instant boiling, sparkling, chilled and ambient, in a choice of metallic finishes.

Installation is straightforward, either retrofitted into an existing tap hole or as part of a new kitchen design with space being required in the cabinet underneath for a control device or filter cartridge. The Vital Filter tap however is unique with the filtration system entirely above the worksurface.

Better water, better living

 

Well-living isn’t about making dramatic lifestyle changes. Often, it’s the small improvements that have the biggest impact.

Having fresh, filtered water available whenever you need it can encourage healthier habits, reduce plastic waste and make everyday routines that little bit easier. It’s one simple upgrade that benefits both your household and the environment.

Because when it comes to creating a healthier home, better water is the perfect place to start.
