Perfect tap that I was looking for! – We have recently purchased our house and moved in. The previous owner have done up permanent shelfing under the kitchen sink space (which meant it had limited height), and the kitchen tap does not have any filter at all. Whilst looking at options for getting a filtered tap, we came across all the good reviews on the Taqua filtration taps - which… Read more · 1
suited our need of getting good quality filtered water without having to redo the under the sink space. We purchased the T3 tap (I liked the design of it) and installation of the tap and filter was simple, and the quality of the tap is excellent! Also really appreciate the level of customer relationship management the Taqua team have provided to show new customers how much they are valued. Have always been a fan of Japanese made products/brands, and Taqua has proven to be another good brand to support. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a good no-hassle kitchen filter tap with great functionality and looks.
Easy, convenient and amazing product support – Taqua is an amazing product. Upon extensive research, I found the Taqua product to be the most logical choice for clean, filtered water direct from my kitchen tap. No under bench hassle or tools required to change the filter. Just 10 seconds of your time. I have historically used plain tap water and didn't really delve into filtered or bottled… Read more · 1
water. After noticing tap water becoming not as clean and fresh over the past few years, I changed to bottled water, which can become quite expensive over time. From there I decided to research home filter systems. Taqua was the obvious choice for me. Made in Japan using the best materials, the T3 model is the best system for my requirements with convenience, aesthetic design and filter cartridge replacement. My only regret is that I didn't purchase and install one of these taps a lot sooner.
Fab choice – I picked Taqua when renovating our kitchen last May, based on the high quality of our previous Japanese-made tap-mounted water filter (Cleansui) but whose cartridges are not sold in Australia. I am particular about drinking water not smelling, and that it is clean. Taqua is so smartly and sleekly designed and the cartridge is very easily… Read more · 1
replaced. The cartridges are also promptly mailed to our home at preset intervals, a handy service which helps us get on top of nasties not growing inside a cartridge. Switching from filtered to unfiltered water is as easy as pressing a button. Likewise, switching from a shower spray to a single flow is as easy as turning a switch on the tap head. Plus, the extendable hose allows me to fill a cooking pot with water by placing the pot next to the sink, which is a great help, as is washing the 70cm wide sink itself. Last but not least, the after sales service is good.
Overall, I highly recommend Taqua. This tap filter is everything I could ask for.
Eco friendly and tasty water – It's been over 4 years since I purchased this product and I am very happy with it. Water tastes clean and much better than normal tap water which I didn't notice a lot until I started using Taqua. I have 2 kids and I think they have more sensitive taste buds than adults because they often tell me that the tap water at friend's house or at the… Read more · 1
cafes taste bad. My daughter had minor eczema when she was baby but her skin has no symptom of it since she started drinking this filtered water. Easy to change filter and also I love it's delivered when it needs to be changed.

Absolutely ❤️ my Taqua T3! – I bought my Taqua T3 tap based from online reviews and I have not been disappointed. Due to having kidney disease, I need to drink filtered water every day and I wanted a system that was easy and I could depend on. I certainly got that! I had a local plumber install it the first week of November. Initially he had a little difficulty (due to the… Read more · 1
hole in the kitchen counter top from my existing kitchen tap not being big enough for the Taqua tap) but he drilled a larger hole. Then he also had to chip out some of the inside of the kitchen cabinet as the original tap had been fitted too close to the inside of the cabinet. But he did it and he certainly earned his money that day.
I cannot recommend this water filter enough. My partner was skeptical about the system as she wanted a different system. But now she loves how easy this system is to use, press the button and you have filtered water. Now not only do I and my partner have access to filtered water all day every day, even my dogs do too!
Do yourself a favour and invest in a Taqua T3 kitchen tap. You won't regret it!
Best Value for Money Water tap filter – I spent many days of intensive internet research on kitchen water filtration systems during COVID. I wasn't prepared on spending thousands of dollars on a above/under sink system. Believe me I studied them all & I came to the conclusion that for under $500 the TAQUA T3 is the Best Value for Money system by far. It is the most practical filtration… Read more · 1
system which doesn't use up critical under-sink space. the whole system is in your tap. The filters last approx 3-4 months with a household of 4 people. All the components & filters are made in Japan not China..!!! so your getting quality. It took 15 minutes for a plumber to install so it cost less than $50.00. Ben the TAQUA customers service representative was very helpful & responsive to our needs when we had questions relating to different grades of filters & ordering them. We are also happy to know that they are in Australia for the long term which gives us peace of mind when investing in the TAQUA product.
Taqua Built-in Filtration T-3 – I purchased this tap on-line on the strength of a magazine (remember those!) advert and a bit of internet research. IT was a little hard to get hold of as I live in remote regional central Australia, but was worth the effort. I love the subscription model for the filter as it set and forget and the filter is not stocked anywhere within 1,000 kms… Read more · 1
of where I live anyway. Our mains water comes from an underground aquifer and has a high calc and mineral content. Mains water is treated with chlorine. We use an external water softener, and together with the taqua filter it is a no-fuss fresh tasting water situation in our household.
The functionality is great, as the hose extension is cleverly hidden in the tap itself, but it can be a surprise when you first use the tap to realise just how light weight it is.
My one reservation making it four star, is that the tap is not metal/chromed. It is actually plastic. I understand this makes it light weight and make it much cheaper, and isn't (yet) an aesthetic issue but I am worried it may be int he future when the tap starts to wear. We installed a pricey new kitchen and included this tap and I hope it lasts the distance.
I highly recommend this tap and I almost never bother to do reviews!

An Absolute Joy to Use – I love my Taqua filtration sink mixer every single time I use it! Innovative engineering at its finest! I felt like I was being a little extravagant when I first thought of purchasing this tap. But I am so glad I made the decision to put one in! I definitely don’t feel silly for wanting something that has proved to be so practical for the home. I… Read more · 1
love that we always have as much filtered water as we need to drink, cook with, wash veggies /fruit just with a click of a button. I even use it for my more delicate house plants! We just as easily have unfiltered water for washing up etc with another click. Installed the tap ourselves, no need to pay a plumber. Changing the filter also couldn’t be simpler. Absolutely love the choice of spray function. And that the tap is extendable. Such well designed features make it an absolute joy to use.
This filter is amazing and the customer service is soo good – When was the last time you buy a water filter and they make a personalised thank you video just for you to do so. Well this company does it! I am amazed with how good the water filter is and how easy it is to fit it on. But they send you a personalised video to thank you for buying a filter is just next level of customer service. Show details · 1
Super easy, great tasting water! – Once the tap is installed, it's super easy to use, and easy to replace the cartridges. Love that I don't have to have a water filter jug taking up space on the kitchen bench any more! Show details · 1
Awesome.Love it! – My friend recommended this product to me and we've started using this finally! I can see how different the water clean and taste so perfect! Drinking this water reminds me Japan so much. I feel I can give the tap water to my little kid's very safety as well. Now I really recommend this product and I want to say "Thank you" to all kind staff. Show details · 1
Great Design! – Received the T3 as part of a package with our house build and have found it to be fantastic to use. It has a ingenious design and I love that the filter is contained in the spout, making it incredibly easy to change. You can certainly taste the difference in water quality as well. Show reply

This product is amazing - so glad we chose Taqua – The water tastes so clean and the tap is really hand and easy to use.

Taqua T3 is perfect – The Taqua filter and tap is fantastic it is fabulous and my wife and I love it. It is exactly what we expect of Japanese quality and the follow up from you is simply the best. Show details · 1
Great product, excellent service – The filter system is easy and quick to be instored, and the system is so compact and it is a space saver compared with any other domestic filter system I looked for. The tap system design is a beauty and the filter is top quality and easy to use. The cost of the filter is quite reasonable based on my two month period change cycle. It is good that… Read more · 1
I don’t have to worry about accidentally forgetting to order as it is delivered punctually with my preset usage cycle. I very much appreciate the impressively prompt support and help provided by the customer management team through email contact. And last but not the least, the water running through the system is pure and clean and tastes great. Lian
A great product! – We’ve been using this tap and filter for a few years now and couldn’t be happier. The water tastes great and the filter is very easy to change. Many thanks! Show reply
Great product – This is a really great product with a good design and great filtering quality. It’s easy to use and filter change is simple. A small addition but big improvement in our kitchen. Show reply
Excellent product – This unit was installed in my apartment by the previous owner after a flooding event from a plumbed water filter. Works beautifully, water quality excellent, ease of mind worth every cent. Was a bit concerned at the 4 monthly pre-purchasing of replacement filters but the timing is about right. Highly recommend this product. Show reply
An absolute must have! – We have been using the tap everyday for the past ~3 months and are very happy with the results. The water quality is remarkably better, even our pets can easily tell the difference. Having a water filtration system is a must, we can't from any other tap. The flow rate is also far superior to most undermount filtration solutions, which saves us… Read more · 1
seconds every time we fill a glass or water bottle. (which for us is a few times a day.) The filter cartridges can easily be replaced in a few seconds and can be delivered on a subscription bases, making routine maintenance close to effortless. No more drinking from a dirty filter or calling the plumber to change the filter. The design is highly functional. It swivels, has a handy spray nozzle function and an extendable hose which makes it really easy to rinse dishes. It's reasonably priced and of excellent quality and with a 2-5 year warranty, it gives us peace of mind. Definitely a great purchase!

Great water filtration tap. Very easy to use and taste good – Great water filtration tap. Very simple to use and taste good. No extra space needed. Very easy to change the filter. Taqua will send you the replacement filter on every 3months on mail and you can change it in under 30sec. I have been using this since last 2 years and 100% happy with Taqua. It also looks great in any new generation Kitchen. Show details · 1
Use nothing else – We had our tap for just on six months. The water quality has increased from our previous filter system. I no longer have to get under the sink to change the cartridge and most importantly, my partner can change it herself if I am away when the new cartridge arrives. Show details · 1
Elegant functional tap – This tap has worked perfectly for us since we installed it just over two years ago. I like the fact the replacement filters arrive in the mail on time and in sealed packages: I know they are genuine and that they are safe. The water tastes great! Especially useful is the fact I can stand a heavy cooking pot on the bench beside the sink and… Read more · 1
fill it with filtered water using the extension hose. A conventional fixed filter tap does not allow this. Also, the extension hose works well for washing dishes and flushing out the sink. On the shower setting water can be well controlled and does not splash all over the place. Finally, having experienced many other Japanese products, I am confident this tap will stand the test of time. And it looks great too.
Extremely Happy with Taqua Built in Filtration T-3 – I am more than happy with the performance of my Taqua Built in Filtration T-3 kitchen tap. We have had out tap for 1.5 years and the filtration works well and improves the taste of our water. I do also have a filter on the main. Therefore I change the filter every 6 months. I like the option of filtered and non filtered and the press of the… Read more · 1
button. The filter is easy to change and gives me much needed space for other under sink storage. I like the direct pour and the shower pour for rinsing pots or plates. The flexible extension hose allows for rinsing. I find it very practical and so hope the tap catches on as a great alternative to generic taps. Fleur MW.
This Taqua T-3 tap filter is water to perfection!! – I have used my Taqua tap for 4 months now and I absolutely love the taste of the water. I have to drink a lot of water due to health conditions and I find I just turn the tap on, push the button, fill up my bottle and turn the tap off, how easy is that? There is no disgusting taste and I don't have to buy bottled water anymore woohoo. Show details · 1
Perfect!! – We are so surprised that water filter will be this good, the water quality totally change. It’s super practical, we can easily switched on or off whenever we want. Totally recommended!!! Show details · 1
Perfect product and service – Taqua T3 is one of those, rare products, with which you discover qualities not visible at the time of your decision and purchase. Firstly, it was the compliments by our plumber for the design and quality of connectors and the smart design solution for the accidental water spillage around the hose, which would, with other models, ‘normally’ drip… Read more · 1
into the cabinet. Then it was our turn for nice surprises: the tap has a wide outlet which, even at the maximum pressure, makes no splashes to the surrounding area, the handle design suits different palm sizes, the hose is of ‘logical’ length, not requiring adjustments in the cabinet, but the best was the ease of use of the filter: a single press on the top - and the filter is on and off, with almost invisible drop in the water flow. To complete the picture, I have to add our brief communication with the Customer Services, about the filter replacement schedule. Their extraordinarily cooperative manners in dealing with us, as customers, made a nice complement to the already extraordinary product.
Excellent kitchen tap – This is the best kitchen faucet we have ever had. The filter works so well that you can taste the difference. It can be switched off when not needed, such as when washing up. Further, it swivels and pulls out. Five stars! Show details · 1
Great improvement – We installed the Taqua filter. It immediately improved the Sydney supplied water quality. It is much more drinkable. In particular, it removes the strong chlorine taste. We would strongly recommend this product. Show details · 1
The best tap on the market! – We have had this tap in the kitchen for a bit over 3 months now. The water tastes much better. Easiest way to get a glass of clean water! We are yet to swap filters - that will happen next month - but the design makes it super easy to do this. Looking forward to using this tap for a long time ahead! Show details · 1
Filtered water leaves a metallic taste in mouth – My first glass of filtered water from our newly installed Taqua had a strong metallic taste which lingered in my mouth the next day, but this is lessening as the days go by. Hopefully it will disappear altogether. I recommend waiting a few days to flush out all residue before drinking from it. I love the pull-out hose and easy to install filter. Show details · 2
Good filter. But can only buy filter via subscription – I have had this Filter for 6 months now and it seems to work well. It was put in as part of our newly built home. I have tried a number of times to get the filter replaced. The filter is only available through one distributor and only via subscription. This reeks of a monopoly. Subscription services rely on the set and forget principle and I… Read more
never sign up to them. If I could buy a filter, like in a normal shop without going on subscription I would give it 5 stars but the company’s narrow mindedness in the way they sell their product is why I am giving 1 star. I would never have got the water filter if I had known how difficult it is to buy a replacement filter. I have sent emails about this problem but only received emails back about how wonderful a subscription service is without addressing the problem or allowing customers to buying a filter without signing up to their nanny state subscription service.
Best of the Best! – I wish I had known about Taqua Build-in Filtration a long time ago. We had been using a bulky water purifier that was taking up so much space on my small bench top and changing the filter was not my favourite thing to do. This tap uses Japanese technology, where the filter sits inside the tap, so it only takes a few seconds to change. We noticed… Read more · 1
a difference in the taste of the filtered water straight away. It has a push button to switch from the filtered water to tap water, as well as the spray nozzle and extendable hose, which I use all the time.
The team of Taqua are so helpful, friendly and supportive. I do highly recommend to everyone.
