Water filter taps – how they work and their benefits

Water filter taps are taps or faucets that deliver filtered water straight from your tap to you. You can easily install them in your home or work kitchen. Tap filter systems often utilise a pressure system that sits neatly underneath the sink, so they’re also known as under-sink water filters.

Under-sink water filters

MyPure A1C Undersink Filter

Under-sink water filters, as you might expect, sit underneath your sink. The body of the filter is a petite cartridge that connects to your sink and faucet. The hoses connecting the filter cartridge and your faucet can attach to your existing kitchen sink. In fact, you can even install them yourself, as the MyPure A1C Undersink Filter kit comes with everything you need to enjoy filtered water straight from your tap without even changing your kitchen tap.

On-tap water filters

BRITA On Tap Pro V-MF System

Similar to under-sink filters, on-tap water filters connect to your existing system to help make it easier to access and enjoy filtered water. The Brita On Tap Pro V-MF System helps to reduce bacteria, microplastics, chlorine, and metals from drinking water. Just like the under-sink filter, you can install the on-tap system yourself. And the LCD on the front of the filter lets you know how long the filter cartridge has until it needs replacing. 

Benefits of water filter taps

There are many benefits of filtered water but there are also benefits you can enjoy with water filter taps and under-sink water filters.

The first and most obvious benefit you’ll appreciate with an under-sink filter or water filter tap is how easy it is to use. You’ll have instant access to filtered water, straight from your tap. The filter catches elements such as chlorine as well as fine particles like sand and rust, all of which can affect the taste and mouthfeel of your drinking water.

Changing water filter cartridges

Under-sink filters rely on a cartridge, so to consistently enjoy filtered water, you’ll need to change your filter regularly. The MyPure A1C Undersink Filter utilises the BRITA A1000 Undersink Filter cartridge, which should be changed every six months. 

The On Tap Pro V-MF System uses the On Tap Filter V-MF cartridge, which should be changed every 600 litres, or approximately every four months, depending on your usage.

Fortunately, changing filter cartridges is simple. First, you’ll need to unlock the locking system securing your existing filter. Then, you can remove the older filter, and replace it with your new filter cartridge. Finally, re-engage the locking system to secure the new cartridge. Easy as can be.

Why choose an under-sink filter or on-tap filter?

A pressurised filter system is the ideal water filtration option if you prefer to have filtered water straight from your tap – a ‘set it and forget it’ method that only needs your attention a few times a year to change the filter. For busy households and people who want filtered water on demand, under-sink filters and on-tap filters are ideal. 

If you’re ready to make accessing and enjoying filtered water even easier, choose your filtration system and start tasting the difference.
