Maverick Pure Water Filter MAV 02 Review (2026)

Under-sink filters all claim to remove "everything," so I dug into the actual spec sheet for the Maverick Pure Water Filter — MAV 02 (NEW) to see what's really backed up.

What You Get

The MAV 02 is a compact under-sink or on-counter unit at 120 x 120 x 380mm, priced at £119.99 (down from £135.00). According to Maverick, it filters chlorine, lead, heavy metals, fluoride, VOCs, microplastics, PFAS ("forever chemicals"), bad tastes and odours, and limescale up to 250 mg/L hardness — while retaining beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium rather than stripping the water completely.

How It Holds Up

Cartridge life is rated at up to 12 months or 30,000 litres for most contaminants, though fluoride reduction is rated shorter at 4-6 months — worth knowing if fluoride removal is your main reason for buying. Installation is billed at under 5 minutes, and the kit includes the housing, filter element, hose connector, mounting template, screws, plumber's tape, and two wrenches. One important note: as of this review, the MAV 02 is listed as sold out on Maverick's site with a stated 3-week pre-order window, so check current availability before planning around it.
