Filtered water on tap
The combination of activated carbon and a high-tech membrane ensure supreme water quality and hygiene. Not only does tap water taste better, it is also much healthier. The extremely compact system looks stunning in any kitchen, a real space-saving design. The best water filter in the world is also the smallest. That's something of a marvel, given what’s inside. It's the first system ever to combine activated carbon with a high-tech membrane and turns 500 litres of tap water into pure refreshment.
All Vital taps are supplied with a high-performance filter and also a high-flow filter which is a superb alternative providing continuous high flow rates in areas where the high-performance filter can get congested prematurely due to excessive sediment contamination in the water. The high-flow filter has a mesh size that is 20 times finer than ordinary household filters. As a result, rust, dirt and fine sediments are filtered out for cleaner water. Please note, the high-flow filter does not remove microbial cysts, microplasts, bacteria, viruses or limescale.
Choose the perfect tap for your kitchen
Below are a few options and features to consider when choosing your perfect kitchen tap. Taps are largely about style and preference although they can have several useful features:
| Aerators (also called flow constrictors) |
These are anti-splash, but also mix air with your water, creating a good pressure, at the same time as saving water. If you are simply rinsing plates or cutlery these can give a great saving. |
| Filter taps |
These work in the same way as a water filter jug, except they filter as you draw water from the mains, therefore giving you limitless filtered water. They remove bacteria, chlorine and lead from the water supply. They also remove any pesticides and insecticides which may have got into the water system. Filtered water also helps reduce the build up of limescale in appliances. The filter cartridges for these taps need replacing every 6 months or so to retain effectiveness. |
| Hot taps |
Use a mini-boiler under the sink to provide you with instant boiling (or hot) water. You no longer need to rely on kettles or saucepans to heat water before you make a cup of tea, or boil your veg - it comes instantly from the tap. Some taps can also provide you with chilled water for cold drinks, and even sparkling water. These are great if you like fizzy drinks, but prefer to avoid additional sugar - simply mix with your favourite cordial. |
