Renting? Here is How to Get Pure Water Without Losing Your Deposit
Living in a rental property often feels like a series of compromises. You might have to live with a carpet colour you didn't choose, or a kitchen layout that isn't quite right. But there is one thing you should never have to compromise on: the quality of the water you and your family drink.
As we head deeper into December, with the kettle boiling more often for tea and holiday cooking in full swing, water quality becomes even more noticeable. Many tenants believe that because they cannot rip out pipes or undertake major renovations, they are stuck with whatever comes out of the tap. Or worse, they feel forced to rely on endless plastic bottles.
We are here to tell you that isn't the case. You can have hospital-grade pure water in a rental, and you can do it without upsetting your landlord.
The Problem with Short-Term Fixes
When people think of "renter-friendly" filtration, they usually picture a plastic pitcher sitting in the fridge door. While these are better than nothing, we simply aren't content with basic pitcher filters. They are often just short-term fixes that improve taste slightly but struggle to tackle the serious stuff.
Real water safety goes beyond just removing the smell of chlorine. We are talking about reducing bacteria, pesticides, heavy metals, and limescale. Harmful plastics, chemicals, and PFAS (forever chemicals) can eventually enter the systems supplying our homes. A standard jug filter often lacks the filtration density to catch these microscopic contaminants effectively.
We believe you deserve the same level of protection as a homeowner. That is why we focus on technology that delivers purity without requiring permanent structural changes to the building.
The Under-Sink Solution
The sweet spot for renters is the Point-of-Use (POU) system. Specifically, our Under Sink Water Filtration Systems.
These units sit neatly inside your kitchen cupboard. They are powerful, compact, and designed to target specific contaminants right where you need the purest water most: for drinking and cooking. Our reverse osmosis systems are capable of removing up to 99.99% of over 1,000 known contaminants.
Here is why this works for renters:
- It is reversable: The system connects to your existing water supply. When it is time to move to a new house, the system can be disconnected, and the plumbing returned to its original state.
- You own the tech, not the pipes: You aren't investing in the landlord's property value; you are investing in a piece of high-grade technology that belongs to you.
- Superior filtration: Unlike a pitcher, this forces water through advanced membranes. It even re-mineralises the water, adding back healthy minerals for optimal taste and alkalinity.
For those who want to upgrade their kitchen aesthetic while they are at it, our multi-functional taps can replace the standard kitchen mixer. They dispense filtered, sparkling, boiling, or chilled water instantly. If you have a flexible landlord, swapping a tap is often permitted (as long as you keep the old one to put back later), and it immediately changes the daily experience of your kitchen.
Construction Expertise You Can Trust
We know that "installation" can be a scary word when you have a tenancy agreement. This is where our background sets us apart. Tapure was founded by Antony Casey, an ex-Royal Marine, and we operate with over 15 years of construction expertise from our parent company, Casey’s Construction Ltd.
We understand UK plumbing inside out. We design our systems to be robust and leak-free. We test them rigorously in our own homes because we demand excellence and integrity in everything we build.
If you are unsure about whether a system will fit your specific rental setup, we can help. We have the knowledge to assist you or your preferred tradesperson with the installation. We even offer comprehensive installation services ourselves across the UK. We can explain exactly how to install our products in a way that is respectful of the property while delivering the performance you need.
Why Quality Matters More Than Ever
We aim to strengthen families mentally, physically, and environmentally. Drinking water isn't just about hydration; it is about health.
Our systems don't just strip things out; they ensure what you are left with is beneficial. By using a proper filtration system, you are reducing the risk of consuming microplastics and heavy metals that can accumulate over time.
Plus, there is the environmental angle. Renters are often some of the biggest purchasers of bottled water because they don't trust their taps. This creates a mountain of plastic waste and costs a fortune over a year. Switching to a Tapure system eliminates the need for bottles entirely. You get pure water on demand, and you stop hauling heavy multi-packs home from the supermarket.
Taking the Next Step
You do not need a mortgage to access pure water. Whether you are in a flat in London or a rented house in the countryside, you can take control of your water quality today.
We stand by our products with a two-year warranty and free delivery because we know they work. We have helped thousands of UK families improve their water quality, and we are ready to help yours too.
