Fine . Make sure you don't poor the limescale in from the kettle or it will block the filter quickly.

surely boiling it only increases the level of limescale and impurities in it as you have boiled off the good clean water?

i would have said that distilled or rain water would be better

depends how hard the water is round your way. if its hard you should be using a mesh/gauze tea strainer type thing when you pour it out the kettle.

i thought i would do a bit of niceness after a bit of swearing

i'm not bothered though, i've got 220 litres of filtered water sitting in the garage taking up floor space that i can't shift so someon can have it for £6 a bottle

(but they are 19.5 litres bottles and that's all i'll make when i return them empty)
