If you’re a resident of Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, or the surrounding areas, you'll know all about the challenges of living in a hard water area. Maybe you've even considered installing a water filter to improve the taste and quality of your water.
The Water2 filter, currently being promoted by Bear Grylls all over social media, is an under-sink water filter that’s a simple and effective way to enjoy cleaner, fresher-tasting water straight from your tap.
If you’re thinking about upgrading your home with a water filter, here’s what you need to know about installing the Water2 filter - whether it’s a DIY job or a task for a plumber.
Can You Install the Water2 Filter Yourself?
DIY Installation: Flexi Hoses Make It Easy
If your sink is equipped with flexi hoses, you’re in luck! Flexi hoses allow for straightforward installation without modifying your existing plumbing.
Steps for DIY Installation:
Turn off the water supply to your sink.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to connect the filter to your cold-water flexi hose.
Secure the filter under the sink and check all connections for leaks.
Turn the water back on and flush the system as instructed to activate the filter.
DIY Tips:
Have tools like an adjustable wrench and Teflon tape on hand.
Double-check all connections before turning the water back on to ensure a secure fit.
When to Call a Plumber: No Flexi Hoses? No Problem!
If your sink doesn’t have flexi hoses or you encounter rigid pipework, it’s best to call a plumber. Installing a Water2 filter in these cases may require additional fittings or adjustments, which can be tricky without the right experience.

We’ll modify your pipework as needed for a proper fit.
