No more lugging plastic bottles! I am absolutely delighted with my new slim-line filtered drinking water tap fitted to my sink. Pure tasting water at a touch. After much research I chose Cool Oasis having tasted the purest water at a friend’s house and discovering they use a special Doulton ceramic filtration system that takes out the nasty chlorine without stripping healthy minerals. Delighted it was sensibly priced. Hot and chilled water options available. Highly professional, they took only an hour to install this compact unintrusive cylinder and impressively cleaned up after themselves. Tel. 664 743 994.
