Filter 1: Contaminant Absorption Block
The first filter uses an activated carbon absorption block combined with natural mineral blends to achieve high levels of contaminant removal. This includes fluoride, heavy metals such as lead, chlorine, chloramines, herbicides, pesticides, and hormonal and pharmaceutical residues. It also acts as an effective barrier against microplastics, which are an increasing concern in UK water supplies.

Filter 2: Energising Ceramic
The second filter uses ceramic ball filter media to improve the structure of the water and release small amounts of beneficial minerals as the water passes through.
Flow rate
The system is designed to run at 1.5 to 2 litres per minute. The inline valve supplied with the unit lets you set and adjust this during installation.
Size
The unit measures H35cm x W27cm x D14cm. It fits comfortably into a standard under sink kitchen unit without taking up much space at all.
Installation
The unit connects to the cold water feed only and must not be fitted to the hot water line. No tank or electrical supply is needed. Two connection options are included: a saddle valve for most standard installations, and a low pressure coupling for low pressure situations. A compression tee piece is not included but is available from any hardware shop or builders merchant. The full installation guide is available to download on this page. If you get stuck, ring us on 01764 662111 and we will walk you through it.
Flushing the system
After installation, run water through the system for 5 minutes, wait an hour, then flush through again for another 5 minutes to clear any carbon dust. Fine bubbles in the water are normal to begin with and will settle down over the first few days.
Recycling the used filter cartridges
Filter 1 has to go in your general waste. The contents of filter 2 can go into your compost or garden waste bin, or be scattered on the garden. Rinse out the plastic outer casing and that can go in the plastic recycling too.
Is the Energy Plus LITE right for you?
If you want a straightforward filter that delivers genuinely clean, structured water and removes the contaminants that matter most, the Energy Plus LITE is a strong choice. If you want alkaline, hydrogen rich water with antioxidant properties, our full Energy Plus Under Sink Water Filter may suit you better. Not sure which is right for your situation? Ring us on 01764 662111 and we will help you work it out.
Q. Does the Energy Plus LITE soften the water?
A. No, it doesn't soften the water. The ceramics used in the filter are there to structure the water and enhance its mineral content, not to remove hardness. That said, many customers find that the issues typically associated with hard water are less noticeable after filtering.
Q. How frequently do I need to change the filter cartridge?
A. We recommend changing the cartridge once a year. It's rated to treat around 4,500 litres of water, which works out at roughly 12 litres per day, so for most households an annual change is about right.
Q. Does the Energy Plus LITE filter out fluoride?
A. Yes. It removes over 99% of fluoride, along with high levels of other common contaminants including heavy metals. The full contaminant removal chart is shown in the product images above.
Q. Does the filter reduce TDS?
A. TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids and measures the concentration of all dissolved substances in your water. Filtering generally won't reduce TDS, and a high or low reading doesn't tell you whether your water is healthy or not. It simply measures total mineral content. What matters is which minerals are present. The Energy Plus LITE removes harmful contaminants while retaining and enhancing the beneficial ones.
Q. What is the best way to test the pH of the filtered water?
A. Use a pH meter or a pH test colour reagent. pH test strips are not reliable for testing water accurately, despite what some may claim.

We are selective in the brands which we stock. We look for products that use high-quality ingredients and we are against the use of fillers, herbicides, pesticides, artificial colourings and flavourings to name but a few. These values are not only important to us but also to our suppliers.

Education
We understand the wealth of information and mis-information available on the subject of health. This is something we try to cut through ourselves, to be able to offer a knowledgeable service to our clients. We believe in the importance of being informed. As Water for Health is striving to provide products to improve the quality of life of its customers, the following quote by Albert Einstein is very fitting: "We believe that an informed citizenry will act for life and not for death." To be able to do this, we send an optional newsletter, write articles and provide other information to our customers through our blog.
