I have a proctor-silex one and I'm worried about it causing cancer since it directly comes in contact with the water I boil

Also, anyone know if brita filters are safe to put in the fridge?

If the products you use are made by a reputable company, then you can be sure they are as safe as it is possible to be today.

If you are still worried, there are some ingredients discussed on www.after-cancer.com/wp-admin/contacts - look for Parabens and see what else is there.

Good luck

Basically I use a Brita water filter and I change the cartridge once a month, I use the filtered water in the kettle.
I just opened my kettle to have a look inside and I have some limescale floating in the kettle...why is this??

I pay like £4 for each cartridge so why am I still getting limescale?

The filters are only a basic filter. It is not totally microscopic.

I live in a hard water area and the ones I use are only charcoal ones, but they have drastically reduced the scaling in the kettle by about 90%. They make a big difference to the taste of the water as well.

Also as D says they should be changed regularly. I change mine every 30 days as it says. I get mine in threes which cost about £7 so it's about 8p a day which is nothing. Less than 50 cigarette papers!

Hi all i have a "brita" filter kettle with a plastic inside, i live in a hard water area.
The filter keeps my water lime free however the plastic case that holds the filter is covered in limescale and its really disgusting

Any ideas how to get rid of it???

Thanks in advance

bring white vinegar to the boil in your kettle, let it completely cool down and repeat. Keep a close eye on it as it will boil suddenly once it is close. Rinse out. Boil normal water and tip out. After this you should have no taste at all.

Two of my friends have a betta fish in a fish bowl without a filter.I can't have a filter because of many reasons,and the only pet I can have now is a fish.My friends say that their bettas are perfectly happy without a filter,one is living now for a few years.
I can clean the fish bowl(yeah,I will keep my bettas in a fish bowl-it will not be too small for the bettas,I will make sure of it)even 3 times a week,it is no problem.
Also,one of my friends filter the water for their bettas in a kettle(I have a new Brita one)and leave the water to cool down and use it for the fish,and the other one leaves the tap-water for one day(without the fish,in another container)for the chlorine(and all the "bad" things in tapwater)to evaporate-how should I do it and can I keep a betta fish without a filter in a medium-sized fish bowl?
EDIT: I will have only ONE male betta in the fish bowl.Should I leave the water to evaporate or to the kettle thing?

If you are manually doing the work of the filter ( and you actually DO the work) then there shouldn't be a problem. As long as you just have the single betta in there.
Skimp on the work and you could find yourself treating things like fin rot.

Edit- Sorry I should have answered the water question earlier.

To answer it depends on what your water supplier uses to kill bacteria. It's quite easy to contact their customer service dept. to find out.

If it's just chlorine then standing the water for a few days should allow it to evaporate. If they use chloramines then standing the water will not work as chloramine is far more stable.
Boiling should in theory remove chlorine as it has a lower evaporation point but again it's not effective removing chloramine.

Neither boiling nor standing water will remove other possible contaminants like heavy metals

Any pet dept or fish store will sell additives that will instantly neutralize chlorine, chloramine and heavy metals. (it only costs a couple of bucks for a bottle and it will last a long time). The only thing you need to do when using additives is make sure the fresh water is the same temperature as the water you are replacing.

Hope that helps.
