2. The choice of cartridge, taking into account the chemical and biological characteristics of water in the tap. Different filters are used for softening and disinfecting liquids; they are represented in the lines of almost all manufacturers. The exception is made by universal blocks of "smart" jugs.

3. Convenience of the lid: if the family uses water from a jug often, it is advisable to choose a model with a cartridge resource ID. It will help not to miss the moment of replacement.

4. A convenient handle, rubberized bottom and partitions in the funnel are details that should be paid attention to in order to determine individual needs for a jug.

5. Availability of cartridges on sale and the price of devices. Not particularly well-known brands sell products through dealer networks, replacement filters can not be purchased everywhere.
