Filter taps are a perfect fit for today’s health-conscious consumers who prioritise wellness in their homes. Offering more than just convenience, they enhance day-to-day life by providing clean, safe and fresh-tasting water on demand.

While UK drinking water is generally regarded among the best globally, despite recent issues, filter taps go further by removing impurities, including chlorine, harmful germs, pesticides and microplastics, ensuring healthier and better-tasting water wherever you live.

Sustainable design, streamlined aesthetics

Incorporating filter taps into projects can contribute positively to sustainability frameworks, regulations and goals, such as BREEAM certification. Filter taps also align with water efficiency standards and help developers support sustainability.

Providing filtered water directly from the tap not only appeals to environmentally conscious clients, it can also shift consumer habits from bottled water to a more convenient and eco-friendly option, eliminating the need to purchase, transport, store and recycle plastic bottles, reducing household waste.

From a design perspective, filter taps help maintain the sleek, minimalist aesthetics popular in modern kitchens. By integrating water filtration directly into the tap, the need for bulky, standalone water purifiers and jugs is eliminated, leaving worktops uncluttered and workspace optimised.

Incorporating filter taps is a forward-thinking choice that can help futureproof kitchen designs. As clients' expectations evolve, homes with advanced features such as filter taps are more likely to stay desirable and relevant.
