★ THE ACTUAL REASON YOU BUY BOTTLES

Nobody buys bottled water because they're worried. They buy it because the tap tastes of the pool.

British mains water is chlorinated, and plenty of people can smell it in a glass. So the bottles come home from the shop, the crate lives by the front door, and somebody carries it up the stairs every week. Then it becomes a recycling problem, and then it becomes an argument about the recycling.

Supermarket water is about 46p a litre. Out of the tap it's about a third of a penny.

You were never paying for water. You were paying for a smell to go away — and there's a cheaper way to do that.

★ DO THIS BEFORE YOU SPEND ANYTHING

Go and look at the end of your tap. We'll wait.

The single most common complaint about every tap filter sold in this country is that it didn't fit. So here is the check, before the sale rather than after it.

It fits

  • Round tap end, and the very tip unscrews (that removable tip is the aerator)
  • Standard kitchen mixer taps — the sort in most British kitchens and almost every rented flat
  • Standard bathroom basin taps of the same shape
  • Threaded ends of most common sizes — there are six to eight adapters in the box

It doesn't fit

  • Pull-out spray heads — the hose-and-nozzle sort
  • Square or rectangular spouts
  • Taps where the end is moulded in and won't unscrew
  • Sensor taps, boiling-water taps and filtered-water taps that already have their own outlet

If you're not sure, send us a photo of your tap before you order. We'd rather answer an email than process a return.

★ ONE JOB, DONE PROPERLY

Mains water goes through the cartridge on the way to the glass.

Turn the tap with the switch set to filtered and the water passes through a multi-layer cartridge before it reaches you. The supplier specifies eight layers. Two of them do the work you'll actually notice.

Activated carbon holds onto the chlorine compounds that cause the smell and the taste. This is the oldest and best-understood thing in water filtration, and it is the reason every satisfied review in this category says some version of "it tastes cleaner."

Mesh and sediment layers catch the grit, sand and rust flecks that come off older pipework between the main and your kitchen — the bits that show up as a fine dust in the bottom of a glass left standing overnight.

That's what we claim. The next section is what we don't.

Read this bit before you buy, not after.

It will not soften your water, and it will not stop your kettle furring up. Hard water is dissolved calcium and magnesium. Nothing that screws onto the end of a tap removes those — not this, not the expensive subscription ones, whatever the box says. If limescale is your problem, you need a softener plumbed into the mains, and that's a different purchase entirely.

We don't publish a removal percentage, because we don't have a lab test yet. Anyone can print "99%" on a box. We're not going to, and when we have an independent test on this cartridge we'll publish it here with the lab's name on it.

We make no claims about lead, heavy metals or microplastics. Same reason. The supplier says things; we'd rather have a report.

Your tap water was already safe. It's regulated by your water company and the Drinking Water Inspectorate, and this product doesn't make it safer. It makes it taste and smell like less of a swimming pool, which is the reason you were buying bottles in the first place.

★ ABOUT TWO MINUTES

Three steps, no tools, nothing you have to tell the landlord.

1

1. Unscrew the tip of your tap. That little removable end piece is the aerator. It comes off by hand, or with a tea towel for grip if it's been there a while.

2

2. Find your adapter. There are six to eight in the box. One of them matches your tap thread — try them until one turns freely.

3

3. Screw the Aquara POD on and hand-tighten. Run the tap. If there's a drip at the joint, take it off and put it back on straight. That's the whole installation.

When you move out it unscrews in about ten seconds, your old aerator goes back on, and the tap is exactly as you found it.

What's in the box

Aquara POD

The unit itself, silver, with the screen and the switch

Filter cartridge

Fitted and ready. One, three or six depending on which kit you take

Adapters

Six to eight, so it fits the common British tap threads

Seals

Spare washers for the joint

Fitting card

The three steps above, on a card, in English

This is for you if

  • Your tap tastes or smells of chlorine and you've started buying bottles because of it
  • You rent, and anything involving a plumber or the landlord is out
  • You want to stop carrying water up the stairs
  • You've had a filter jug and stopped filling it
  • You want to buy a thing once, not join something

This isn't for you if

  • You want your limescale gone. Get a softener. This won't touch it
  • You need a published lab report before you'll buy. Ours doesn't exist yet
  • Your tap is a pull-out spray, a square spout, or has a fixed end
  • You want filtered water at every tap in the house — that's an under-sink or whole-house job
  • You're worried about something specific in your supply. Ring your water company first; they'll test it for you

QUESTIONS

If the end of your tap is round and the very tip unscrews, almost certainly yes — there are six to eight adapters in the box for the common British tap threads. It will not fit a pull-out spray head, a square spout, or a tap where the end is moulded in and won't come off. Send us a photo before you order if you're unsure.
No, and there isn't a hidden one. There's no subscription option built into the checkout at all. When you want a filter you come and buy one — £9.99, or three for £24.99. No card is kept on file and nothing ships that you didn't order.
It depends entirely on how much water you put through it, which is exactly why there's a screen on the front counting it down instead of a guess printed on the box. We'll publish a rated capacity here once it's been independently confirmed — we're not going to print a number we can't stand behind.
No. Limescale is dissolved calcium and magnesium, and nothing that screws onto a tap removes those. Your kettle will still need descaling. If limescale is the problem you're solving, you want a softener plumbed into the mains, not this.
We don't claim that. The supplier says the cartridge reduces heavy metals, but we don't hold an independent test, so we won't publish it as fact. If lead is your specific concern, ring your water company — they will test your supply, usually free, and that's a better answer than anything we could sell you.
That's the claim we do make. Activated carbon holds onto the chlorine compounds that cause the taste and smell, and you can test it yourself on day one with two glasses and your nose.
Two glasses — one filtered, one not — and smell them side by side. It's the same test we'd run, and it costs nothing. If you can't tell them apart, send it back inside thirty days.
Neither. There's a small generator inside that runs off the water pressure, so the screen wakes up when the tap goes on and sleeps when it goes off. There's nothing to charge and nothing to replace.
There's some drop in flow when the water's going through the cartridge — that's true of every filter, ours included. Flick the switch to unfiltered and you have your normal tap back for filling pans and the washing up.
Yes, if the basin tap is the right shape. The two-tap kit exists for exactly that. Worth saying plainly though: this is a filter for water you drink. It does nothing for your skin or your hair, and we're not going to pretend otherwise.
It's what it was designed around. Nothing is drilled, cut or plumbed — it hand-tightens onto the existing tap and unscrews in about ten seconds. Your old tap tip goes back on and the tap is exactly as you found it.
Take it off and refit it straight, using one of the spare washers — nine times out of ten it's a slightly crossed thread. If it still leaks, email us and we'll replace it or refund you. Leaks are the most common complaint in this category and we'd rather deal with yours than let you live with it.

★ THIRTY DAYS

Fit it, use it, and send it back if you'd rather.

Use it for a month. Do the two-glass test on the first evening and again in week three. If the water doesn't taste better to you, or the fit isn't right, or you simply don't want it — send it back within thirty days for a full refund.

Fitted and used is fine. We're not going to ask whether you kept the box, and you don't have to give us a reason.
