Guidance for existing Tappwater customers:

If you have already purchased and applied or received a grant - nothing you can do.

If you have already purchased Tappwater and did not apply for the grant then you could consider purchasing a new starter pack and maximising your grant as this would be cheaper over the next two years than purchasing filter refills.
