The TAPP EcoPro just takes a minute to install following the instructions below. (Watch Videos Here)
- You first remove the aerator in your tap, replace with an adapter (supplied) if required and attach the TAPP EcoPro in place of the aerator.
- When you remove the aerator from your tap, most likely there is a small washer above it, please use this washer above the adapter supplied with your TAPP.
- No tools are required for most taps and it only takes a minute to fit.
- Run the water through the filter for 30 seconds after installation and then you are good to go.
If you get any difficulty please just check these or send an image or video of the issue you experience to +356 99866142 by WhatsApp.
If your mixer is a shower type or "a bit different" we stock a range of 30+ adapters for the few mixers that need them.

CHLORINE
TAPP EcoPro reduces Chlorine by 95% or more based on 100s of tests carried out on tap water around the world. This improves the taste instantly for chlorinated water.
LEAD
TAPP EcoPro reduces lead contamination by 95%+ in accordance with NSF Standard 53. Lithium, Aluminium, Antimony, Arsenic, Barium, Cadmium, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Nickel, Selenium, and Zinc are also filtered.
MICROPLASTICS
TAPP EcoPro removes all microplastics that have been found so far in tap water thanks to the 1-2 micron carbon block.
NITRATE (NO3) & NITRITE
TAPP EcoPro reduces Nitrate by 90% or more based on independent lab tests.
TRIHALOMETHANES (THM's)
TAPP EcoPro reduces THM's by 99% to NSF Standard 53. THM's are formed when organic matter in water reacts with chlorine. They are a by-product of chlorination and have been linked to higher rates of bladder cancer.
HALOACETIC ACIDS (HAA's)
TAPP EcoPro reduces HAA's by 95%. HAA's are formed when organic matter reacts with chlorine or other disinfection products used in public supply water. High contamination has also been linked to incidences of bladder cancer.
AMMONIA
TAPP EcoPro reduces Ammonia contamination by 95% and ammonia can contaminate public supply water through animal faecal matter.
PESTICIDES/HERBICIDES
TAPP EcoPro reduces pesticides and herbicides by 95% which can contaminate public supply water from the groundwater sources which are used currently in a ratio of 30% with the reverse osmosis public supply water.
PATHOGENS/BACTERIA
TAPP EcoPro reduces pathogens and bacteria by 95%, examples are Clostridium, eColi, Enterococcus and Microbial Cysts. In Malta due to high chlorination we do not have a high rate of bacterial contamination.
PERFLURINATED CHEMICALS (PFAS)
TAPP EcoPro reduces PFAS contamination by 95%+ These "forever chemicals" are a common contaminant in rainwater and public supply water.
FLUORIDE
TAPP EcoPro reduces fluoride by 30-70% based on independent lab tests. Fluoride is a natural compound found most fresh water sources, tea, vegetables and fruit. It’s not considered a contaminant generally and is not added to tap water in Malta.
ANTIBIOTICS/PHARMACEUTICALS
Based on tests performed on the type of activated carbon block used in TAPP Water filters pharmaceuticals are reduced by 95% or more. This includes: Hormones: prednisone, prednisolone, progesterone, testosterone and cortisol Antibiotics: ciprofloxacin, used to prevent certain infections caused by bacteria, as well as sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, which are used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections including pneumonia, and urinary tract and intestinal infections Antidepressants: fluoxetine, prescribed to treat a variety of conditions, including depression and other mental/mood disorders Anti-anxiety medication: meprobamate, a treatment used to relieve nervousness or tension that exceeds stress of everyday life Painkillers: ibuprofen and naproxen
CALCIUM/LIMESCALE
Calcium is considered a mineral with health benefits and not a contaminant. Unfortunately calcium also has the unfortunate bi-effect of causing limescale in combination with magnesium carbonates. TAPP EcoPro effectively reduces calcium and limescale with a propriety ion resin bead mix inside the carbon block filter by up to 80%.
