    My jug turned up today as well. It is not a Russell Hobbs, but a Spanish make of some sort. Looks like it only takes special cartridges, not the cheap generic ones you can buy, so will have to shop around for a good deal (RRP is £4.99 each!).

    Update:

    So far amazon have best deal I can see with 6 x double life cartridges at £21.99 delivered.
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aqua-Optima-DOUBLE-Filter-Cartridge/dp/B000V9D71O

    With each cartridge lasting 60 days that would be 1 year's supply. Can't see anything cheaper at the moment, so might go for this, unless someone else knows of a better deal!

    Yippee, got mine today. Bit of a disapointment though as it doesn't seem to use know cartidges. I suppose it can be just used as a water jug in the summer to keep drinks cold in the fridge!

    Hi. Is yours a Spanish one like mine? If so it probably uses the aqua optima cartridges that the Russell Hobbs jugs and kettles use. You can get them here:

    £21.99 delivered for 6 x double life cartridges or instore at Robert Dyas, 6 x standard (30 day) cartridges for £9.99

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Sarah,

    Take a look at my earlier post. Cartridges are same for these jugs or Russell Hobbs and available from Amazon UK, Robert Dyas, and, I guess, quite a few other places. Hopefully means we won't have too many problems.

    for people who have received the jata jug alternative to the russel hobbs has anyone else found that the lid is very loose and does not clip into place -

    when i pour the water the lid falls out and for some reason wont clip into place

    Mine seems to clip in all right, I can lift the jug off the table by it and it holds (unfilled - dunno if it would do it filled)
