Large parts of England have hard water. You'll know if you do: white crust in the kettle, flakes floating in your tea and a film on top of the mug. The Russell Hobbs Purity 20760-10 tackles this at the source with a BRITA filter built into the kettle, so water is filtered as you fill it.

How the BRITA filter works
When you fill the kettle, water passes through the BRITA cartridge before it reaches the boiling chamber. The filter reduces limescale and chlorine, which helps your tea and coffee taste cleaner and keeps the kettle free of scale for longer. A cartridge indicator reminds you when it's time for a fresh one.
Is a 1 litre kettle big enough?
For singles, couples and offices that make a few drinks at a time, yes. At up to four cups, it boils exactly what most people need and encourages you not to overfill. If you regularly make drinks for a crowd, a 1.7 litre kettle may suit you better.
Tips for hard water homes
- Change the cartridge when the indicator tells you. An old filter does less.
- Empty the kettle rather than leaving water standing in it overnight.
- Even with a filter, descale now and then if you see any build-up.
- Replacement BRITA MAXTRA PRO cartridges are widely available in UK supermarkets.
