Oh, but you do mate. :wink:
I've been using these active carbon filters for many years (even before Brita was on the market)
They are OK for heavy metals, pathogens and some forms of contamintants - but not everything else. They only claim to reduce limescale, they don't eliminate it.
I only use filtered water in my kettle, and the previous one did have to be cleaned a couple of times to get rid of limescale deposits (flat bottom, too)
Same with the new kettle, some limescale gets through the filters, especially if they are old-ish.
I only use expired filters for garage use, so they won't be perfect anyway.
