We have a plumbed-in water filter at work, but the person responsible

think the water has stopped tasting very nice.

It's a Bayhall Filtamate if that helps.

Thanks

depends what sort of filter it is (i.e. what it's supposed to be
filtering)

if just a sediment filter - it wouldn't bother me if it weren't
changed too often - as it will filter out more the more bunged up it
gets..

if "activated charcoal" filter or similar (for taste purposes removing
chlorine for e.g) then it may start tasting less good the longer the
filter is in place (as the filter is "used up")
