Removable filters and water heating vessels incorporating such

摘要

A filter ( 10 ) for use in a water heating vessel, such as an electric kettle, to filter sedimentary material in the water includes a scale collector ( 25 ), for example in the form of a compacted mesh block, carried on the filter. The block can be supported by a carrier member ( 27 ) permanently or detachably mounted on the filter frame, preferably towards an end of the filter closest to the bottom of the vessel.
