A water filter review from Hollywood actor Harry Cook
From Hollywood to the Northern Beaches
When Australian actor, Harry Cook recently swapped Hollywood for the beautiful Northern Beaches he was delighted to discover that his new beachside house came with a surprise in the kitchen – an inline water filter system.
Harry is an accomplished actor starring in the 2009 film, “Accidents Happen” with Geena Davies. He is also a LGBTQ activist – winning Celebrity of the Year in 2017 and 2018 at the Australian LGBTI Awards.
Harry and his husband, Liam along with their beloved English Bulldog, Poppy now enjoy a healthy lifestyle on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. So were delighted to discover their water filter system provided fresh, filtered water straight from their kitchen tap with no ‘nasties’.
When the water filter system needed a new cartridge Harry contacted the team at WFA. The team quickly supplied a replacement Platinum inline cartridge.
Surprised that he was able to change the cartridge so easily…and without the need for a plumber, Harry was so impressed that he shared his delight with his thousands of Twitter followers and WFA were in the limelight!
Harry also took some time out from his busy acting schedule to answer a few questions for us.
A Few Minutes with actor, Harry Cook
Q. How do you like to start your day?
I usually start my day with a coffee and either a protein shake or a glass of water.
Q. Tell us what you use filtered water for?
Everything. I’m adamant on having clean water for everything; coffee, tea, our dog’s water bowl and our protein shakes to name a few.
Q. What about your dog, Poppy does she drink filtered water too?
Absolutely. Her health means the world to us so we make sure that she drinks filtered water every day.
Q. How important is it to you that the water you drink is filtered?
Extremely important. I like knowing that the water I drink and the water we give our dog is completely free of preservatives, chemicals and other toxins.
Q. How easy was it to change the water filter cartridge in the system?
Unbelievably easy. I’m usually the worst when it comes to DIY projects but this filter was replaced easily within a few minutes.
Q. What about the water flow from your existing tap? Were you pleasantly surprised?
I’m so happy with it. Whereas some water filters make the water sort of dribble out, the opposite happened with our filter and the flow was exactly the same as without. Very impressed.
Q. Have you noticed a difference in the water taste compared to regular tap water?
Yes. It tastes like bottled water. I couldn’t be more impressed.
