Using a Britta water filter might be of interest to you in cases other than filtering drinking water. It has been found, for example, that hardness in water can cause plant cells to block and become less efficient in providing “drinking” water to the plant such that filtered water helps potted plants and cut flowers to live longer and produce healthier leaves and flowers.
Reducing the water hardness is also good for your hair since it affects soap lathering. Choosing filtered can help give your hair better volume and a smooth shine.
