Pou Watercoolers
Pou water coolers; Sainsbury; Robert Dyas; department stores; WHS Do-It-All; Asda, rrp £7.99, cartridge £3.99 for 2, lifespan 1 month, capacity 2 liters, reduces chlorine, lead; pesticides; chloroform. Special features: integrated handle for extra capacity; twist-cap calendar indicator; valve pourer.The best not flash but cleverly designed and cheap. Cartridges are widely available, with the exact renewal date on the cap. Once filled, it's completely sealed and takes up less space than the Boots' model. It takes a while to fill - a drawback - we left it in the sink with the tap set to a trickle. But overall, a winner. Star quality: * * * * *
