FAQs

How often do I need to replace the filter cartridge?

The filter cartridge is designed to last for approximately 12 months under normal usage. It's recommended to replace it annually or when indicated by the unit's maintenance alerts.

Do I need to connect this purifier to my home plumbing?

No, the Tappwater Countertop RO SMR™ is a plug-and-play system. It does not require any plumbing connections. You simply fill the reservoir with tap water.

What types of contaminants does the 7-stage filtration remove?

The 7-stage filtration process is designed to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants, including heavy metals, chlorine, PFAS, microplastics, fluoride, nitrates, bacteria, and other impurities, while retaining beneficial minerals.

Can I choose the exact temperature and volume of water?

Yes, the unit offers 6 preset temperature options and 3 preset volume options (150 ml, 300 ml, 999 ml) for precise control.

Is the remineralization process beneficial?

Yes, the Swedish Mineral Rock™ remineralization adds essential minerals like calcium and magnesium back into the purified water, which can improve taste and contribute to hydration balance.

What is the pure-to-waste water ratio?

The system features an efficient 3:1 pure-to-waste water ratio, meaning for every 3 litres of purified water produced, only 1 litre is discarded as wastewater.

How do I clean the Tappwater Countertop RO SMR™?

The exterior can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The removable drip tray should be washed regularly. Always unplug the unit before cleaning. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions.
