Keeping your kitchen safer with Our Taap’s top six safety features
What does TDS in water mean?

Less Plastic. Less Energy. Pure Water.
Discover our range of state of the art Water Systems, ideal for your home.
Shop nowWhen developing our home water system, your safety has been our topmost priority. While the biggest feature we can boast of is the world-leading purification technology which works like magic to ensure the safety of your drinking water, there are also quite a few other clever features we’re pretty proud of - all of which keep Our Taap working hard for your family’s safety in the kitchen.
Here are six ways Our Taap encourages every member of your family, of varying ages and abilities, to safely fill their own cup:
We know that one of the biggest benefits Our Taap offers is how it encourages your kids to take control of their own water consumption. Once they understand how important it is to stay healthily hydrated, they love to assert their independence and help themselves to lots of clean, healthy, great-tasting water. We’ve made it super easy for little ones to safely dispense their own glass of chilled water with one easy tap of a button. To them, it’s like a magic water machine they get to play with. (Well, to be honest, it’s still like that for us adults as well.)

So how do we stop little fingers accidentally pushing the hot water button when you’re not looking? Easy - the child lock function. When one of our trusty Home Onboarding Specialist Technicians installs your system, they’ll spend time with you showing how everything works - including the child lock. Once you’ve disabled the hot water button, your thirsty child can safely help themselves to fresh, chilled water whenever they want.
We think this is so much safer than having a boiling hot kettle on your kitchen countertop. The outside of Our Taap doesn’t get hot and you can’t knock it over.
To ensure that Our Taap is always super safe, we’ve added the ‘set your own cup size’ feature. This extra smart bit of personalisation allows you to limit the flow of water when the dispense button is pressed just once. The best way to make the most of this safety feature is to set Our Taap to automatically fill your smallest cup, usually your child’s, to the level of your choice. This ensures that if your little one helps themselves to a glass of water, they only have to press the button once and there won't be any accidental overflows.
This cup size feature benefits anyone who might struggle with twisting taps or pouring hot water from heavy kettles. We’ve kept everyone’s safety in mind.
Not only can you choose the exact temperatures your hot and cold buttons dispense water at, there’s also a very handy ‘mix’ button that sits, appropriately enough, right in between them. So, whether you’ve safety in mind, or just your own preferences, your water will never be too hot or cold.
While there’s always the separate button to boost your water to boiling point, Our Taap lets you choose from another 50 different hot and cold temperature settings. There are a number of different theories and beliefs about the benefits of drinking water at certain temperatures, so we’ve ensured you have complete control - unlike with a kettle, fridge or a standard kitchen tap.
The mix button does exactly what it says - it mixes hot and cold so Our Taap can instantly pour ambient or warm water. With this setting, you can choose to dispense your water at anything between 10°C and 50°C. If you’re after drinking water at room temperature, or if you want your hot water to be not so hot, then the mix feature is for you.
When you have Our Taap all set up in your kitchen, you can finally ditch your kettle. These old-fashioned appliances have long been a safety hazard for youngsters, older adults or anyone with certain disabilities. Besides, how much time, energy and water are you wasting boiling your kettle?
While we’ve already outlined the benefits of being able to set your own exact water temperatures with Our Taap, and mentioned that it will also simply boil your water, we think it’s worth emphasising here that our home water system sets your whole family completely free from your clunky old kettle. No more awkwardly filling it from the tap, lifting it across your kitchen, boiling more water than you need, and then having to manoeuvre a hefty scalding hazard - all just to make a simple cup of tea. We know kettles are still the norm for lots of people, but they’re not always the safest and most accessible appliance for all families.
For the same reasons as those above, the old school water filter jug has become as obsolete as the kettle. Our Taap deftly replaces both. Not only does the purification technology outclass the limited abilities of the simple filter jug, but it’s so much more accessible for anyone who might have difficulties with refilling, storing and hauling a heavy jug of water around their kitchen. Our home water system spares you the massive hassle of having to pour from the tap, then refrigerate and wait for your clean, chilled water. With Our Taap, one push of a button and the work is done. Simple and safe.
And finally, we saved our biggest safety feature for last. We’ve all read recent news reports of tap water safety failures where whole towns have been ordered to boil their water before drinking it. Whether an outbreak of Cryptosporidium, unmeasured levels of PFAS, or even a fuel leak, the safety of our tap water is at undeniable risk. Headline-grabbing concerns aside, there are always the everyday risks to your tap water, from old lead or copper piping within our homes, to the buildup of scale in hard water areas.
Because our countertop water system hooks up to your mains supply and purifies your drinking water after it’s left your pipework, this means it's just about the safest and healthiest you’d want it to be. Alternative filtration methods, such as reverse osmosis, also remove the essential, healthy minerals that naturally occur in water, such as magnesium, calcium and potassium. This is the stuff we want in our drinking water. Having Our Taap in your kitchen is like having an unlimited supply of chilled mineral water to hand.
Here are just some of the contaminants Our Taap removes from your drinking water:
