Thinking about using a basic water filter jug? While jug-style filters may seem convenient, they fall short in performance, filtration depth, and long-term value. Aura’s advanced reverse osmosis (RO) systems provide cleaner, safer, and better-tasting water—on demand. This comparison shows why Aura is the better option for UK households.
How Traditional Water Filter Jugs Work
Most filter jugs use activated carbon and ion-exchange resins to reduce chlorine and a few basic impurities. While they’re affordable, they come with clear limitations:
- Only remove surface-level contaminants
- No removal of heavy metals, PFAS, microplastics or nitrates
- Slow filtration and constant refilling
- Cartridges require replacement every 3–4 weeks
What Is Reverse Osmosis – and Why Does It Matter?
Reverse osmosis is a high-performance filtration method used globally in hospitals and laboratories. Aura’s RO systems use a multi-stage process with a semi-permeable membrane to remove even the smallest pollutants—down to 0.0001 microns.
Removes:
- Heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic)
- Chlorine & chloramine
- Microplastics & sediment
- Pesticides, herbicides & VOCs
- Nitrates, nitrites, PFAS & more
