Why Do You Need a Filter Tap? The Smarter, Safer Alternative to Bottled Water

These days, more people are starting to question the true quality of the water they drink. With growing worries about microplastics, environmental waste, and the rising cost of bottled water, filter taps are quickly becoming the smarter and healthier choice for many homes.

A lot of families turn to bottled water thinking it’s safer. But the truth is, bottled water can be incredibly expensive. On average, it can cost up to 500 times more per litre than tap water. Over the course of a year, that adds up to hundreds of pounds per household - money you could save simply by investing in a filter tap.

What’s more worrying is recent research showing that bottled water often contains microplastics - tiny plastic particles that can end up in our bodies. A 2018 study by the State University of New York found that 93 percent of bottled water samples from around the world had microplastics in them. These particles aren’t filtered out during bottling and are thought to come from packaging, bottle caps, and even the bottling plants.

On the other hand, a filter tap with modern filtration technology can remove many of these contaminants, giving you cleaner, safer water right from your kitchen sink - without the plastic waste, and without excessive costs like you get with bottled water.

Beyond the health benefits and cost savings, a filter tap is also better for the environment. The UK uses billions of plastic water bottles every year, and many of them end up in landfills or polluting the oceans. Switching to a filter tap can make a real difference by reducing your household’s plastic waste and carbon footprint.

In short, a filter tap gives you cleaner, safer, and better-tasting water while saving you money and helping protect the planet. It’s a simple change that brings big benefits - for your health, your wallet, and the environment.
