Your drinking water health is our only business
01

03
Ultimate taste
Our revolutionary advanced carbon block turns metallic, chemically treated tap water into clean, refreshing drinking water.
04
PFAS (forever chemicals)
Carbon explicitly engineered for high removal of long and short chain PFAS at parts per trillion.

Why it suits renters
- InstallUnder 20 minutes. Connects to your existing tap with the diverter valve supplied — no cutting into pipework, no trades required.
- TenancyNothing permanent. Mounting clips and push-fit tubing only, so there is nothing to make good at the end of the lease.
- MovingIt leaves with you. Unclip, disconnect, reinstall at the next place. You bought a filter, not a fixture.

FACTS MATTER.
Installation
Under the sink in 20 minutes
The purifier fits in-line on a dedicated cold water drinking line. It can be mounted vertically or horizontally, and installed in-line in any direction — just follow the flow arrow on the label.
Choose your setup
Option 1
Standard mixer tap
The purifier tees into the existing cold water flexi hose via the 3-way tap valve. Every cold tap draw comes through the purifier — no second spout, no extra hole in the benchtop.
Option 2
3-way tap
A third line runs to a dedicated filtered outlet, so hot, cold and purified water all come from the one tap body. Best if you want unfiltered water on tap for washing up.
Step by step
- ARemove the nylon hygiene plugs from both ends of the purifier. Note the direction of water flow marked on the label before you go any further.
- BHand-screw the black fittings into the top of the purifier. Be gentle — hand tight only, do not over-tighten.
- CTurn off the water supply.
- DCut the cold water line where the purifier will sit. Use the supplied cutter — a clean cut is what prevents leaks.
- EScrew the required ¼″ push fittings onto the nylon fittings. No plumbing tape — the O-ring inside the push fitting does the sealing.
Hand tighten fittings only. Do not use thread sealant, paste or plumbing tape. The O-ring does the sealing, and tape or paste will stop it seating properly.
Every purifier box includes a common selection of push fittings. If your setup needs a different straight or elbow fitting, they are available on our website.
