VitalAqua™ Premium Faucet Tap Purifier

Even though Aussie tap water meets legal safety standards, many households still notice issues with taste, smell, and overall quality. Tap water can pick up chlorine, rust, and minerals from aging pipes before it reaches your home, affecting both flavour and your health. A quality filter helps improve both taste and purity so you enjoy cleaner water with every use.

A good tap water filter like VitalAqua™ targets common additives and contaminants such as chlorine, sediments, rust particles and other impurities that affect taste and clarity. While certain very fine minerals (like fluoride) may require specialised stages to remove, your filtered water will be noticeably fresher and more pleasant for drinking and cooking.

Most Aussie water filters indicate a lifespan in months or litres filtered. Customers often see the taste and quality change when the cartridge nears end‑of‑life, which signals it’s time to replace it. A general rule of thumb is that cartridges last up to 3–6 months, depending on water usage and hardness in your area.

In some locations with low water pressure or hard water, a filter may slightly slow the initial flow. That’s because the water must pass through the filtration media to remove impurities. This is normal, and the benefits (cleaner water with less chlorine and sediments) outweigh the small change in flow rate.

Sometimes newly installed filters release tiny bubbles or particles during the first flush — this is harmless trapped air or carbon dust and clears after a couple of minutes of running the tap. If cloudiness persists after flushing, it may signal it’s time to change the cartridge or flush it longer.
