Water filter installation

 Our previous coffee machine was plumbed into the water supply with a water softener* and a filter -  they were uninstalled when the new machine arrived, freeing up a lot of space in the under-counter cupboard.

As we prefer to use filtered water in the coffee machine I have installed a new "filter tap" (3-way - H, C & Filtered) on the sink next to the "coffee nook"  - using the previous filter unit with a bit of simple plumbing** and we have pleasantly-tasting water again.  

It all fits behind the false back in the under-sink cupboard, yet readily accessible for the approximately six-monthly filter cartridge replacements.










* the water softener, being redundant, is for sale on ebay & Facebook Marketplace
** not very elegant as the original pipework was poorly laid out - but it's functional.
