Filtered water from your tap. No more bottles.

No. The 3-way tap replaces your current one and uses the same hole, so it works with stone, granite or any other countertop. If you’d rather have a separate tap just for filtered water, that’s possible too; we agree where to drill beforehand.

Yes. No building work, no drilling: we swap the tap and leave your old one with you. When you move, you put the original tap back and take the system with you to your new kitchen.

Sand, rust and sediment; chlorine, tastes and odours. The final membrane has 0.01 µm pores: bacteria (0.2–10 µm), parasite cysts (4–15 µm), viruses (0.02–0.3 µm) and microplastics are all larger than that.

Substances dissolved in the water, such as nitrates, fluoride, sodium or dissolved metals. In mains water these are monitored by the water utility and stay within legal limits. You can check your municipality’s water test results on the utility’s or ERSAR’s website.

No, on purpose. Ultrafiltration keeps calcium and magnesium, which give water its taste. If your area’s water leaves a lot of scale in the kettle, we can fit a softening cartridge in one of the stages, at extra cost.

The filter keeps the minerals your tap water already has: the membrane stops particles, not dissolved salts. Bottled water contains the same minerals (calcium, magnesium, sodium…) in amounts that vary a lot from brand to brand, and several of the best-selling brands in Portugal are very low in minerals, with less than tap water. And on a normal day most of the minerals we need come from food, not from water.

Volta is an important step: it collects far more bottles for recycling. But recycling isn’t endless. In Europe, only about a third of recycled PET becomes a bottle again; the rest turns into fibres and other products that are rarely recycled again. And every new bottle is still made mostly from new plastic. Not buying the bottle avoids all of that.

This system is designed for mains water. Borehole water can contain nitrates or iron, which ultrafiltration doesn’t remove. Mention it in your request and we’ll make you a tailored offer, usually with reverse osmosis.

The three pre-filters every 6 months (about €30 in total) and the membrane every 18 months (about €32). They are standard 10-inch filters, so you can buy them wherever you like; for the carbon one, a certified filter is worth it. We send you a reminder when it’s time. If you’d rather not think about it, we send everything to your home: €50 every 6 months, €82 when it includes the membrane, postage included.

Yes. We show you during installation: put a bowl underneath, unscrew the housings and swap the cartridges. It takes about 10 minutes. The pre-filters are standard 10-inch size; if you prefer, we can send them to you.

Up to 3 hours, usually less for a simple sink. We test every connection before we leave.

In the vast majority of kitchens, yes. That’s why we ask for a photo of the inside of the cupboard: we check before booking the date.

3 years on the equipment, as Portuguese law provides. If a part fails through a defect, we fix it.

You pay on installation day, once you see filtered water coming out. No contracts, no monthly fees. We issue an invoice.

Yes: offices, cafés, clinics and shops. Same price plus VAT, invoiced to your company.

Caldas da Rainha and surroundings (Óbidos, Peniche, Bombarral, Alcobaça, Nazaré, Lourinhã, Cadaval, Rio Maior) with flexible dates. The rest of the Leiria and Lisbon districts on scheduled days, usually within 14 days. Enter your postcode in the form to see availability straight away.

Yes, you have 14 days to withdraw from the purchase of the equipment, as the law provides. Details are in the Terms and conditions.
