The story of Tappwater Australia

It All Started With A Simple Question…

“Can you drink the tap water here?”

For two Sydneysiders living in Barcelona, this question sparked an idea that transformed how Australians access clean, great-tasting water.


Like many cities at the time, Barcelona's tap water wasn’t safe to drink. Contaminants, heavy metals and a metallic taste meant locals and tourists had to rely on single-use plastic bottles—a cleaner option with a serious cost to the planet. 



Determined to find a better way, James and Sarah installed a simple screw-on tap water filter—and their water worries disappeared. No more lugging around heavy bottles or paying top dollar for a natural resource—just fresh, tasty water straight from their kitchen sink.

Bringing clean drinking water home

What started as a simple switch in Spain has grown into a mission to help Australians ditch plastic waste and enjoy fresh, filtered water at home. 

Inspired by their experience abroad, they partnered with Tappwater to launch Tappwater Australia, based in Sydney.
