Suodatinkeittimiä

Suodatinkeittimiä, known in English as filter kettles or filtration kettles, are kitchen appliances designed to boil water while simultaneously filtering it. The primary purpose of these kettles is to remove impurities from tap water, such as chlorine, heavy metals, and sediment, before the water is heated. This results in water that is considered cleaner and often tastes better for drinking, brewing tea, or making coffee.

The filtration process typically occurs as water is poured into the kettle or during the boiling cycle. Most suodatinkeittimiä utilize replaceable filter cartridges, often made with activated carbon and ion-exchange resins. These cartridges trap unwanted substances. The lifespan of a filter cartridge varies by brand and model, and users are generally advised to replace them at regular intervals or after a certain volume of water has been filtered to maintain optimal performance.

These appliances offer a convenient way to improve water quality without needing a separate water filter pitcher or faucet attachment. They combine the functionality of a standard electric kettle with the benefits of water filtration. Features can vary, with some models offering digital displays for filter life, temperature control, or keep-warm functions. Maintenance usually involves cleaning the kettle and replacing the filter cartridge as needed.
