Why buy a water filter tap for your home?

Whilst Cheltenham tap water, like potable mains water UK-wide, is safe to drink you do have a choice.

All mains water contains certain contaminants, additives and minerals.

Undesirable contaminants include lead, perchlorate, arsenic, nitrates, and nitrites; chemicals and persistent man-made chemicals like PFAS (polyfluoroalkyl substances); pesticides; microplastics; microorganisms and more. Additives include chlorine and fluoride. Natural minerals present include calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron, and zinc.

Because some contaminants are hazardous to health over time, medically prescribed levels in tap water are very closely regulated and monitored. For example, PFAS have been linked to certain cancers, thyroid disease, immune system and fertility problems as well as developmental defects in unborn children. Long-term exposure to lead (introduced from ageing lead pipes in older Cheltenham properties), or arsenic, can lead to chronic illnesses, including heart disease, kidney problems, and neurological issues.

But simply filtering the water you consume puts YOU in control.

Our water tap filtration solutions let you decide exactly what remains in the water that you and your family drink.
