For anybody who loves the taste of filtered water, water filters provide filtered drinking water straight from your kitchen tap 24 hours a day. While water filter jugs need to be regularly refilled, water filter taps let you enjoy fresh filtered water on demand.
A water filter tap consists of two main components:
When we install your water filter, a standard tap is included. However, you have the option to upgrade to one of our innovative 3-way taps. These taps offer a combination of instant hot water, as well as chilled and sparkling filtered water, tailored to your preferences.
Carbon filters are highly effective at removing a range of contaminants, resulting in cleaner, safer, better tasting drinking water.
These contaminants includes:
The majority of water filters sold use activated carbon in one form or another. Activated carbon is made by carbonising various natural materials like coal or coconut shell and then steam treating it to activate its high surface area.
It is made in granular, powder or porous block form and then made into a cartridge for inclusion within a water filter. When water passes through the carbon, organic contaminants are adsorbed onto the high surface area. It will also reduce chlorine – and, as organics and chlorine are the main causes of complaint about the taste, odour and colour of the water supply, activated carbon filters are very popular for treatment of water for drinking purposes.
Your new drinking water tap uses an activated carbon filter.
As we start to invest more in a healthier relationship with drinking water, we should also consider water and our home, and how we can protect our home and appliances from the effects of water degradation.
Many homes in the UK suffer from what is known as hard water, which has higher levels of magnesium and calcium. These minerals build up in your home’s pipes and appliances, causing limescale and impacting the lifespan of your washing machine, kettle, boiler, dishwasher, shower and more.
By choosing to install a water softener for the home, you remove these minerals and can benefit from softened water that doesn’t damage your home. Softened water is also known to be better for your skin and hair. Find out more about water softeners here.
Our friendly installation experts are qualified plumbers who have undertaken extensive training so that your drinking water system and water softeners are installed perfectly.
