A £5 water jug from Poundland could save households over £300 a year. The manufacturers claim they can help ease increasing bills by helping people who regularly buy water.
With living costs set to soar from April 1, as price caps increase and energy and food prices rise, many of us looking for ways to make savings. And Poundland's Aquaphor water filters say they reduce this impact by cutting down how much people spend on buying bottled water.
Aquaphor has calculated that using a water filter jug could save between £300 per annum for a single person and £700 for a household of four. In a statement, its MD Nigel Wheeler said: "We wipe out the need for obtaining clean water from the constant purchase of plastic bottles, we also reduce impact on the environment in terms of single-use plastics.
"Even low-cost plastic water bottles regularly purchased from Tesco adds up and can end up costing you up £1,000 a year. That's the extra spend households are going to have to find from the 1st April just to tread water. It's simple economics. Aquaphor keeps money in your back pocket, staving off the energy price hike."
According to the firm, over 30 per cent of households in Britain now have water filter jugs as an alternative to expensive plastic bottled water. Mr Wheeler continued: "The pandemic has well and truly sold Brits on the importance of clean water in terms of removing nasties from tap water."
