Is Tappwater more convenient?

Yes, Tappwater filters are easy to install yourself on your existing tap, which can be done in about a minute. Reverse osmosis systems are large, often require a technician to install under the sink, and may need a separate faucet.

Does Tappwater waste water?

No, Tappwater filters do not waste any water. In contrast, reverse osmosis systems can waste 3 to 5 liters of water for every liter of filtered water they produce.

Does Tappwater save kitchen space?

Yes, Tappwater filters are compact and connect directly to your kitchen tap, so they don't take up any space under your sink or on your countertop, unlike bulky reverse osmosis systems.

Do I need a technician to change the filters?

No, you can easily change Tappwater filter cartridges yourself, which keeps annual costs low. Reverse osmosis systems often require a technician to come and change the membranes and filters.

Does Tappwater retain healthy minerals?

Yes, Tappwater's advanced microfiltration system removes contaminants but leaves healthy minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium in the water. Reverse osmosis systems remove everything, which is why some need to re-mineralize the water afterward.

Is Tappwater more environmentally friendly?

Yes, Tappwater has a much lower carbon footprint. A reverse osmosis system can contribute 16kg of CO2 per year, while Tappwater filters contribute only 3kg of CO2 per year based on filter cartridge replacement.

Is Tappwater faster than reverse osmosis?

Yes, Tappwater EcoPro filters deliver water at 4 liters per minute, which is faster than the 1.5 to 2.5 liters per minute that reverse osmosis systems typically provide.

Is the Tappwater filtration technology independently tested?

Yes, Tappwater filters have been independently laboratory tested, and the results are published on the website, confirming they filter over 100 contaminants. Most reverse osmosis suppliers in Malta do not publish such results.

Is Tappwater a good alternative to reverse osmosis?

Yes, Tappwater is an excellent, more sustainable, and cost-effective alternative to reverse osmosis for treating public tap water. It is a simple, affordable, and effective solution for a household's drinking water needs.
