In a world where sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue, choosing to drink tap water instead of consuming single-use plastic bottles is a conscious choice that can make a real difference. Not only does it help to reduce pollution from plastics, it is also a financial and practical decision.
1 - The importance of drinking filtered water
The importance of drinking filtered water cannot be underestimated. Water is essential for life and human health and its quality has a direct impact on our well-being. Whilst tap water is generally safe, it may contain contaminants such as chlorine, heavy metals, and other impurities which can affect its flavour and, in some cases, our health.
Water filtration not only improves the flavour of the water, making it nicer to drink, it also removes potentially harmful substances, making it safer for us to consume every day.
With more than 50 years of experience, LAICA has made the quality and safety of filtered water its mission, offering a range of innovative, reliable and practical solutions that deliver great-tasting water for drinking and cooking.
2 - LAICA filter jugs, for classic filtration
LAICA filter jugs are one of the simplest and most efficient ways of improving the quality of tap water. Ideal for everyday use at home, in the office, or at social events, all of our filter jugs are fitted with bi-flux® filter cartridges, the heart of the filtration system.
The bi-flux® cartridge is 100% Made in Italy and uses a 6-stage filtration system that effectively removes impurities, chlorine, heavy metals, hardness, chemical contaminants, trihalomethanes, and chlorinated pesticides and herbicides. The most important thing is that, unlike most standard filter jugs, the bi-flux® cartridge allows the mineral salts that our bodies need to pass through, a very significant and important difference. This system gives us better-tasting water which is free from harmful substances. Each bi-flux® filter cartridge can be used to filter up to 150 litres of water, equivalent to one month’s consumption.
LAICA filter jugs are available in a range of models and capacities to meet the needs of every family or workplace. Without doubt, the most notable versions are as follows:
- BIG Milano filter jug, big by name, big by nature, with a capacity of 3.7 litres. It is still practical and easy to use, thanks to its Italian design and elegant lines. Try it now!
- Stream Line filter jug, very light and very compact, ideal for fitting neatly into the fridge door compartment. With a bright and minimalist design, it is your everyday hydration partner. Grab one now!

With the GlaSSmart filter bottle it is so easy to say goodbye to single-use plastic bottles whilst also ensuring that you always have great-tasting water for a refreshing drink.
