Can I wash dishes normally after fitting a TAPP Water filter?

Yes, you can wash dishes normally after fitting a TAPP Water filter (EcoPro or EcoPro Compact). The filter unit is designed with a diverter valve or switch that allows you to easily toggle between filtered water for drinking and cooking, and unfiltered water for tasks like washing dishes.

Do I need to use filtered water to wash dishes?

No, it is generally not necessary or recommended to use filtered water for washing dishes. Unfiltered tap water is perfectly suitable for this purpose and using filtered water would unnecessarily consume the filter cartridge's lifespan.

How do I switch to unfiltered water for washing dishes?

Your TAPP Water filter unit has a lever, switch, or dial that allows you to select between filtered and unfiltered water. Simply move this control to the unfiltered setting when you need to wash dishes. The unfiltered water will then flow directly from your tap spout without passing through the filter cartridge.

Will using the unfiltered water setting affect the lifespan of my filter cartridge?

No, using the unfiltered water setting will not affect the lifespan of your filter cartridge. When the unit is set to unfiltered, the water bypasses the filter entirely, so no water is being processed by the cartridge.

Is the water pressure different on the unfiltered setting?

The water pressure on the unfiltered setting should be the same as your normal tap water pressure, as the water is flowing directly from the mains supply without any restriction from the filter cartridge.

Do I need to change any settings on the filter unit after washing dishes?

Yes, after you have finished washing dishes with unfiltered water, remember to switch the diverter valve or switch back to the filtered water setting if you intend to use filtered water for drinking or cooking next.

Will dish soap or cleaning products damage the TAPP Water filter?

Dish soap and regular cleaning products used for washing dishes should not damage the TAPP Water filter unit as long as they are used with the unfiltered water setting. Avoid getting concentrated soap directly into the filter outlet when using the filtered water setting.

What if I accidentally use filtered water to wash dishes?

Accidentally using filtered water to wash dishes will not harm the filter unit or your dishes. However, it will contribute to the usage count of your filter cartridge and may shorten its lifespan unnecessarily. Simply switch to the unfiltered setting for future dishwashing.
