How does it work?
The filters are very easy to install, use and maintain. In just two steps you can start getting filtered tap water, with all the quality guarantees for direct consumption, for cooking, making tea or coffee, among many other daily uses.
The main advantages of using TAPP water filters are:
- Easy to fit onto your faucet without special tools or a plumber
- Clean, tasty tap water using advanced technology in just a few seconds
- Sustainable, not only because each family that uses TAPP avoids the use of at least 1000 plastic bottles per year, but also because we use biodegradable or recyclable materials, leaving very little plastic in our waste.
- A liter of bottled water costs approximately €0.30. With TAPP you will pay a maximum of €0.02!
The result:
The EcoPro water filter is the first truly simple, affordable, sustainable and high-quality water filter distributed in 30 countries and now available in Portugal.
HOW DOES THE TAPP WATER FILTER WORK?
The EcoPro filters water through 5 stages of filtration, including the highest quality activated carbon block with 1-2 microns of filtration.
Water flows through the filter with tap water pressure and comes out as clean, great tasting water. The activated carbon block is made from organic coconut shell.
The filters are highly efficient in removing/filtering:
- Taste and smell
- Chlorine and its derivatives
- Heavy metals, including lead
- Nitrates, pharmaceuticals
- Microplastics
THE 5-PHASE TAP WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM
-
Step 1: Polypropylene Screen Wrapping
This screen surrounds the carbon block and filters out larger microorganisms, sediment, silt, rust, scale particles and other impurities. It also protects the carbon block from being contaminated by human hands when it is changed.
-
Step 2: Activated carbon absorption
Organic activated carbon removes chemical organic matter, chlorine, chlorine byproducts (VOCs, THMs, HAAs, etc.) taste, odor, pesticides, herbicides, PFAS, and 50+ other contaminants. It also reduces heavy metals including lead, copper, mercury, and others.
-
Step 3: Microfiltration with carbon block
The carbon block is highly compressed to prevent particles larger than 1-2 micrometers from passing through. This prevents all microplastics, airborne particles and most bacteria from passing through the filter. It also prevents most pipe corrosion particles and biofilm (bacteria built up inside pipes) from passing through.
-
Phase 4: Inhibition of limescale and heavy metals
This is a proprietary formula (referred to as PSS) used within the carbon block that breaks down the mineral to prevent limescale formation and further reduce heavy metals.
-
Step 5: Strainer Mesh
Filters hair, sand, dirt and other impurities from pipes.

HOW DOES TAPP WATER COMPARE TO OTHER WATER FILTERS AVAILABLE IN PORTUGAL?
TAPP Water was designed to be easy to use, affordable and convenient.
Other great benefits include:
- Advanced filtration technology removes more contaminants (independently tested)
- Low ongoing costs for filter replacements
- Sustainable refill cartridges, reducing plastic waste
- Filtered water in seconds
- Careful design and very little space occupied
- Lower CO2 emissions when compared to pitcher filters and RO systems
- MyTAPP Web and APP monitor usage and savings
Before TAPP existed, existing water filters were expensive, complex to install, ugly, difficult to use and of low quality.
What are the advantages over filter jugs?
It's really annoying when you're really thirsty, go to the kitchen to get water and realize you forgot to fill the filter jug.
But TAPP users don't have this problem, because the water comes straight from the tap, already purified. And you can choose between filtered and unfiltered water with the turn of a small lever.
Our tap filter lasts three times longer, filters 15 times more water and has advanced technology (which even removes microplastics and heavy metals).
As a result, the water tastes much better.
In addition, the annual subscription is cheaper than the most popular jug products, for which you also need to change the cartridge every month.
