Taking a Family Break from Modern Life? Make...
Modern life can be all-consuming and getting back to nature offers the perfect antidote, but before you head off-grid make sure you have a portable water filter you can trust. Concerns about screen time, a poor diet, too much time indoors, school pressures and the environment, in general, can prove overwhelming for parents. Check out our Gravity Filters now! The immense pressure no doubt helps to account for the popularity of family camping holidays, woodland breaks and the rise in 'off-grid getaways.' Getting back to nature is a chance to get away from it all, reconnect with your children and tear them away from their screens. When planning your escape though, having the right equipment will make a difference. Do you really want to go camping and end up driving out to the nearest convenience stall to stock up on drinks or plastic bottles of water? Or can you be sure about the quality of the water you will have access to onsite? Consider your footprint when getting away from it all - take a water filter camping Considering the environmental footprint of your family camping holiday should be a factor when enjoying the spoils of nature, which by default means minimising waste, in particular, single-use plastic waste. However, enjoying the best quality food and drink is also important to the quality of your holiday. Just as using a camping stove doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing the quality of the food you eat with a bit of careful planning, a trip away also doesn't need to mean compromising on the quality of your drinking water. A gravity-fed stainless steel water filter is the ideal solution for families concerned about plastic pollution and access to a reliable water source when camping. Rather than boiling water for drinks then relying on the campsite shop for juice or bottled water, you can enjoy access to good quality water that is perfect for making the kids drink as well as washing and preparing all your food. Just because you're getting away from it all doesn't mean you have to compromise on quality. Doulton's gravity-fed filter works by filtering water from a top chamber, through high-performance ceramic filters into the lower chamber where the filtered water can be accessed. Sustainable access to quality water when camping As well as being compact and easily portable, Doulton's gravity-fed water filter offers high-quality performance. The benefits of the system include: No need for a mains water supply No electricity needed Filters up to 99.99% of common contaminants Easy to use Long-lasting Removes chlorine to improve the taste of water Choosing a stainless steel portable water filter also means there is no need to store water in large plastic containers when camping. If you are committed to making sustainable choices at home, don't compromise on a family camping holiday. When taking your children away on a health-boosting family holiday to get back to nature consider the quality of the water they will be drinking. Our children deserve the best, make sure a quality break is just that from the water they drink to the air they breathe. Want to learn more?

How To Stay Hydrated (With Healthy Water) In...
As soon as the mercury begins to rise above usual levels warnings are issued about heatwaves but why are they dangerous and how can you stay hydrated? Check out our water solutions now! The start of summer 2019 has seen parts of Europe sweltering in a heatwave while 2018 saw a prolonged period of unusually high temperatures in the UK. With climate change becoming an increasing problem, scientists are warning that we should expect more heatwaves to come. During a heatwave, as well as trying to stay cool wherever possible, members of the public are also advised to stay hydrated to avoid the ill effects of the excess heat. Why is it important to stay hydrated in a heatwave? Hydration is important every day of the year as water provides our bodies with the means to transport blood and to support the function of major organs such as the heart and brain. As the body loses fluids they need to be replaced by drinking more water to avoid dehydration. In hot weather, this is even more important as increased sweating means more fluid is lost. Plus, hydration in a heatwave also serves to help cool the body and regulate temperature. The main health concern when there is a heatwave is heatstroke. Initial symptoms may prove to be heat exhaustion, which can be treated if fast action is taken to cool the person down including drinking plenty of water. If this develops into heatstroke emergency treatment is absolutely necessary. How can drinking water help in a heatwave? Heatstroke is caused when the body overheats, which makes staying cool in a heatwave important as difficult as this may be. Sweating is the body's natural response to heat as it self-cools. As fluids are lost through sweating it is important to stay hydrated to help regulate your temperature and to avoid dehydration. Dehydration and excessive heat are a lethal combination and the effects on your body should not be underestimated. In fact, dehydration can be a factor in heatstroke. To stay safe in a heatwave wear loose-fitting clothing, seek shade and cool areas and be careful when exercising and, of course, drink plenty of water. Tips to stay hydrated in a heatwave: Always carry a bottle of drinking water with you Sip water regularly throughout the day to maintain fluids Use an insulated reusable bottle to enjoy cool water on the go Always drink water with meals Enjoy ice-lollies made with water and juice Avoid alcohol Filtered tap water tastes great and is an excellent way to get all the family drinking more water if you are concerned about hydration. Doulton water filters remove up to 99.99% of common contaminants, including chlorine, to provide clean, tasty water on tap. Fill up and take a bottle with you to make sure you have access to water when out and about.Want to learn more?

A representation of Doulton's commitment to providing delicious, high-quality water to families worldwide is the brand new TASTE bottle. Our NEW! Filtered Water Bottle The stylish, durable and reusable water bottle comes in three stylish, contemporary colours - blue, peach and black. With a 500ml capacity, the Doulton TASTE bottle is PET and BPA free and complete with a removable filter cartridge for ease of cleaning and use as a standard water bottle. The useful carry handle allows the bottle to be attached to bags for use whilst out and about. The Doulton TASTE bottle combines the power of Doulton home water filter systems with the convenience of bottled water. That way you are able to take filtered water with you, wherever you go. The TASTE bottle has true filtration of fine particles such as dirt, rust and micro plastics down to one micron in size. Enjoy delicious water on the go, refilled from any tap with more than 95%* of chlorine removed and reduction of organic contaminants. The TASTE bottle also removes heavy metals, such as lead up to 90%* efficiency, improving the taste and odour of water from any tap. An Environmentally Friendly Alternative To Bottled Water The Doulton TASTE Bottle has been carefully designed taking into consideration many of the common issues and concerns related to the bottled water industry today. One of these issues relates to the plastic problem and the impact of single-use plastic waste upon the planet, oceans and wildlife. The TASTE bottle is an environmentally friendly, cost-effective alternative, eliminating the need to purchase single-use plastic bottled water. Doulton believes that the impact of individual choice will collectively help to preserve the planet. There are many simple changes that individuals can make to reduce their plastic waste footprint, starting by eliminating the use of single-use plastic bottles, which is one of the major contributors to plastic pollution around the world. The cold, hard facts... Nearly 35.8 million single-use plastic water bottles are used in the UK every day, half of which are not recycled. Consequently, each year, 8 million tonnes of plastic waste enter and pollute the oceans, damaging and threatening marine life and adding dangerously to the plastic problem. Doulton home water filter systems have helped families to avoid single-use plastic bottles at home for many years and the launch of the Doulton TASTE bottle will help many people to be environmentally friendly whilst on the go. As well as being an environmentally friendly alternative to bottled water, the Doulton TASTE bottle is also a cost-effective substitute, costing just 3 pence per litre of instantly filtered water. With bottled water costing an average of 85 pence per litre, the TASTE bottle helps to save the pennies, as well as the planet. Depending upon the quality of the tap water, the TASTE bottle cartridge can filter up to 300 litres, or 600 bottle fills before a replacement is required. Refill Out and About With Doulton TASTE As a result of concerns regarding the plastic problem around the globe increase, authorities in London and many other cities in the UK have installed drinking water fountains for public use, allowing thirsty residents and visitors to refill a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated on the go and ditch single-use plastic bottles. Refill schemes allow the general public to refill their reusable water bottles free of charge at local restaurants, bars and cafes. By simply downloading the Refill app, users can locate the nearest refill station and take their reusable water bottle to be refilled, discouraging the use of single-use plastic bottles. With the support of Refill schemes and the installation of public water filters, reusing the Doulton TASTE bottle whilst out and about couldn't be easier. Effective removal of chlorine, organic contaminants and heavy metals eliminates any uncertainty regarding the cleanliness of public water fountains and ensuring that the water you drink, refilled from any tap is clean, healthy and the best quality it can be. Avoid Microplastic Particles in Bottled and Tap Water Although the impact of microplastic consumption on human health is still unknown, there are concerns around plastic particles entering the food chain through drinking water and ocean pollution. Recent studies conducted by Orb Media revealed that almost 93% of the bottled water can contain microplastic particles, with one litre containing an average of 10 plastic particles. The Doulton TASTE bottle helps to avoid consuming microplastic particles by eliminating the need to purchase single-use plastic bottled water. The majority of plastic particles found in bottled water matches a common plastic that is used for the water bottle caps, suggesting that some plastic particles enter bottled water when the cap is broken to open the bottle. The presence of microplastic particles is not solely confined to bottled water. Studies have shown that tap water can contain an average of 4.45 plastic particles per litre. Orb Media observed that the size of plastic particles present in tap water range from 6.5 to 100 microns in size. As well as helping to avoid microplastic particles as an alternative to bottled water, the TASTE bottle also removes microplastics from the tap water used to fill up, effectively removing fine particles down to one micron in size. Stay Hydrated Whenever, Wherever Water is essential for human survival. The human body is made up of around 60% water, so it's important to stay hydrated to ensure the body can function correctly. Maintaining fluid intake and drinking plenty of water improves blood circulation and the distribution of oxygen to the vital organs in the body. Due to busy lifestyles and work schedules, many people find it difficult to regularly drink water on the go. Whether you're in the car, on the train or sitting at your desk at work, keeping a refillable, reusable water bottle with you will help you to remember to sip plenty of water throughout the day. The Doulton TASTE bottle improves the taste and odour of drinking water leaving you with delicious water on hand, all day, every day. The more you enjoy water, the more you will drink, helping you to stay hydrated and reduce the risk of dehydration. Discover the Doulton Difference wherever, whenever with the Doulton TASTE bottle, available to buy now. Stay hydrated with delicious Doulton water and help to reduce single-use plastic waste that ends up in landfill and our oceans, harming our planet by refilling again and again. *tested in-house Check out our refillable Water Bottles now!

Sustainability Matters Sustainable hydration has been identified as a leading force in future consumer choices with families looking for more environmentally-friendly ways to live well. Led by trend forecaster Scarlet Opus, the On Trend showcase at this year's Exclusively Housewares show is a major indicator of the products consumers and retailers will be investing in over the next two to three years.

Doulton use natural ceramic technology to filter harmful contaminants from tap water. Providing consumers with quality, tasty water straight from the tap with no need for single-use plastic water bottles. A Shift In Consumer Wants & Needs Doulton's filtadapt in Pebble, which will feature as the On Trend "Game Changer" Recommended Product, combines this powerful filtration with the flexibility needed for modern life that makes it suitable for all. The need to cut plastic pollution as a result of the hard-hitting Blue Planet television series has resonated with consumers, who have been made sharply aware of the need for collective action in cutting waste. Each year, 77 billion single-use plastic bottles are used in the UK and campaigners are now urging more people to carry reusable bottles and to drink tap water. The message of longevity and quality has long been part of Doulton Water Filters' ethos. The water filters remove up to 99.99% of common contaminants from tap water, including chlorine, which can affect the taste. Doulton's Marketing Manager, Yvonne Allen said: "With a 10-year life expectancy for the housing, a Doulton water filter, with replacement filter cartridges, will deliver 46,000 litres of drinking water, which would avoid the purchase of 23,000 single-use plastic water bottles. That is a significant individual impact on single-use plastic waste and the more households choosing water filters instead of bottled water, the greater the reduction in waste will be. "It is clear that sustainable living is essential and that waste reduction needs to be a common theme in households to help to protect the environment. Where the quality of drinking water is a concern, using a water filter is the sustainable solution." Why Choose Doulton? A Doulton ceramic filter features an outer shell that is made from 100% natural earths with coconut shell used for an activated carbon core. The biodegradable filter cartridges need to be replaced every six to 12 months to maintain maximum performance. Yvonne added: "Good hydration is important to wellbeing and the obvious choice for a healthy lifestyle is water, rather than sugary bottled drinks. Drinking filtered water straight from the tap is vital to maintain health and live more sustainably." Scarlet Opus is a leading trend forecaster identifying future fashions to inform the retail, manufacturing, design and architecture industries. It has identified three key trends for the future: Traveller, focused on world stability and fairness; Fellowship, based on the idea of collective action to create a better tomorrow; and Satori, a natural and sustainable approach to living.
