If you want to be assured that your water is of the highest quality, you may need an Abode Aquifer Filter tap.
This fitting converts any kitchen mixer into a filter tap which will improve water quality. It works by diverting water from the mains to a purifying filter cartridge located underneath the sink. This filter can remove alcohol, chlorines, bleaches and detergents which can sometimes be found in water supplies.
Abode say:
“The Abode Aquifier filter taps dramatically improve the taste, smell and appearance of drinking water offering a clean source of unlimited spring fresh water for you and your family. With unique internal valve operation our Aquifier taps offer water filtration with no need for extra levers or a separate tap.”
