TAPP 2 removes over 80 pollutants and has been tested in accordance with NFS standards.
At TAPP Water , we believe in full transparency and the most demanding testing of our products, no matter where our customers are located. That is why we continuously test our products to prove that they meet our quality standards and we publish the results obtained from independent laboratories.
The filters first go through laboratory tests, where pollutants are artificially gathered, then the water is filtered and analyzed to confirm the quality of our products. Then we take samples of our customers’ water before and after filtration.
TAPP 2 testing by an independent laboratory
Here is a test carried out by the Itabe laboratory in Barcelona , Spain, which uses a sample of 2 l of water filtered by the TAPP 2 model, as well as 2 l of unfiltered tap water. The test shows that TAPP 2 effectively reduces chemicals like chlorides, nitrates, microplastics , fluorides, and TTHMs, while retaining healthy minerals like calcium, potassium and magnesium.
