Rethinking
drinking water
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.
Their goal? To make clean, sustainable water accessible to households across the country.
So far they’ve helped thousands of Australian homes make the switch—and counting!

The Tap Water Filter
Great product, easy to install and makes all the difference with our drinking water
Absolutely Fantastic – Wish I’d Bought It Sooner!
I bought this filter for my kitchen sink because our tap water tasted awful, and I was constantly buying bottled water. It’s ironic that Tasmania has some of the freshest air in the world, yet in many places, the taste of our water is terrible. With the cost of bottled water escalating lately, it was getting expensive just to have drinkable water at home.
Since installing the filter, the difference has been amazing. The water tastes clean and fresh, and I’m drinking more of it without even trying. I also use the filtered water in my cooking, and the improvement in flavour is noticeable—everything just tastes better. And the coffee? Absolutely amazing!
I use the filtered water for my fish aquarium too, which is great because there’s no chlorine going in now. The water stays crystal clear, and the fish are thriving. Even my houseplants are loving it!
It’s a simple change that’s made a big difference in so many areas of my life. It’s saved me money, improved my health and home, and I honestly can’t believe I didn’t buy it years ago. Highly recommend!
Customer service is exceptional
Thanks so much, Mandy! Love hearing how it’s made such a big difference — from your coffee to your fish tank! Appreciate the kind words and recommendation 😊
Simple filter. Super easy to use and doesn’t take up space on the bench top. Can feel a little cheaper with the plastic housing but seems to have held up to use. And have had great customer service with one part failed. Replaced immediately and has been perfect for many months now.
Thanks so much for the great review! We're glad you’re loving how easy the filter is to use and that our team could help quickly when needed. Appreciate the feedback on the plastic housing. While it's made from high-quality, BPA-free materials designed to be lightweight and efficient, we understand how important durability feels in daily use and we're always looking to improve. Thanks for being a valued customer!
Very easy to buy, fast delivery, super quick install (seconds) and then wow… what a difference in taste! And my plants also love it!
