A water filter jug might seem like a simple appliance. But, as with most products, not all are created equal. They differ in capacity, filter quality, materials, and design. And since it’s something you’ll use every day, it’s worth choosing carefully.
Here are five tips to help you find the perfect one for your home.
1. Capacity and Size
Think about how much water your household uses daily.
- For individuals or couples, a capacity of around 2–2.5 litres is ideal.
- Families with children will appreciate larger jugs of 3–3.5 litres.
A bigger jug means less frequent refilling, but it also takes up more space — so it’s best to find the right balance between practicality and countertop room.
Tip: If you use a coffee machine or electric kettle, choose a model that can easily refill both.
2. Filter Type and Efficiency
The filter is the heart of every jug.
A good one should remove chlorine, heavy metals, and limescale while keeping the water’s natural minerals and fresh taste.
Lauben filters combine activated carbon and ion exchange, removing both odours and substances that can affect flavour or damage appliances.
When choosing, always check:
- the lifespan (how many litres it can filter),
- quality certifications,
- and the availability of replacement filters.
3. Filtration Speed and Ease of Use
- Filtration time matters — you don’t want to wait long for a glass of water.
- Lauben jugs can filter 1 litre of water in about 1–2 minutes, keeping your hydration routine smooth and simple.
- An ergonomic handle, easy-lift lid, and clear filter replacement indicator make the jug a genuine helper — not another chore on your counter.
4. Design and Materials
- A water filter jug isn’t just functional — it’s also part of your kitchen’s style.
- The minimalist design of Lauben complements modern interiors, whether your kitchen is white, black, or natural wood.
- Premium materials ensure durability and easy cleaning — including BPA-free plastics that don’t release unwanted substances into your water.
5. Sustainability and Filter Availability
- A good product should be a long-term solution.
- Look for how easy it is to replace and recycle filters in an eco-friendly way.
- Lauben uses recyclable materials and offers multi-pack filters that reduce both waste and cost per unit.
