No, the Water System doesn't change the water's pH or alkalinity; it simply filters out impurities while preserving essential minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium, without introducing any additives.
Fluoride can occur naturally in water; however, in the UK, it’s added to municipal water supplies. For some people, the addition of fluoride is a contentious issue. Supporters argue its merits – for example, it can help to reduce tooth decay in children. Our filtration system is designed to keep naturally occurring minerals such as calcium, potassium and magnesium in the water. Therefore fluoride, another natural mineral, remains in the water.
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) is a measure of dissolved substances and doesn't indicate water purity. It's important to maintain a certain TDS level for essential minerals. The WHO considers a TDS level of 300 to 400 mg/L as 'good' to 'excellent,' and only above 1200 mg/L does it become 'unacceptable.' Our Water System preserves TDS by retaining minerals like calcium and magnesium. However, it removes unwanted substances like chlorine and bacteria through activated carbon filtration and UV treatment for a healthier drinking experience.
When comparing the energy consumption of our Home Water System to that of a coffee maker and kettle for a single cup of hot water, here are the results:
- Home Water System: 0.07 kWh per cup
- Electric kettle: 0.11 kWh per cup
- Single-serve coffee maker: 0.26 kWh per cup
Chilled:
- 2 litres per minute, which is more than a large bottle of water from the supermarket.
- With auto-replenishment and chilling, it can provide up to 40 glasses per hour.
Hot:
- 1.3 litres per minute
- With auto-replenishment and reheating, it can deliver up to 80 cups per hour
Absolutely! Our system includes a secure child lock feature. Children can only dispense cold water; your engineer can set this up for you. To access hot water with the child lock on, hold both hot and cold buttons simultaneously for at least two seconds.
Yes, our skilled technicians can install our system through various countertop materials, including granite, quartz, marble, and corian. They are highly trained and well-equipped to handle these surfaces.
Just get in touch with us, let us know your new address, and we'll arrange for one of our engineers to reinstall the system at your new property. Please note that the inclusion of house moves in your Our Taap plan may vary, so feel free to contact us for more information.
Yes, our removable drip trays and boiling, ambient and chilled water functions mean you can use the water system to fill just about anything in the kitchen.
Our Water System offers instant dispensing of chilled, hot, or ambient water. You can effortlessly choose your preferred temperature at the touch of a button.
Chilled water 5 – 20°C
Ambient 10 – 50°C
Hot up to 99°C
We are happy to install a Our Taap Water System in any property. However, if you live in a rental property we advise you to get permission from the owner before we install. Sometimes we will have to drill a small hole (only about 6mm) through your countertop to reach the water supply.
