I have one of these home water filter jug things at home. It's a plastic jug and you put a filter in the middle of it and then add tap water and it filters out all the junk and gives you fresh water.

I bought a new filter for it a couple of weeks ago, and the filter percentage dial said that I now had 100% filter usage left, and quite right. But only a mere TWO DAYS later had that dropped to 75%. Just over a week after first installing it, it was down to 0.

And I didn't buy the knock-off filters either, I bought the proper brand! Now I'm thinking of getting an actual plug in water purifier uk that will have a bit more reliability and longevity.

We have one at work and it doubles up as a hot water dispenser too so it'd be great to have one of those at home, I wouldn't need a kettle then!
