TapTech Pro® Series
UltraFiltration Faucet Filter (Anti Legionella/Bacteria)
The TapTech Pro Series is an advanced filtration system designed to integrate seamlessly with standard faucets. It features high-performance membrane technology that supports the reduction of microbial contaminants in water, including Legionella pneumophila, Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM), E. coli, Salmonella, and other microorganisms commonly found in plumbing systems.
Developed for use in hygiene-sensitive settings, the system enhances water quality at the point of use and is suitable for applications such as handwashing, food preparation, equipment rinsing, and beverage service.
Equipped with advanced ultra-filtration membranes in a pore size of 0.08 µm, our filters have been independently tested and certified to ASTM F838-2015ae, achieving Log 8 (99.999999%) bacterial reduction. In addition to this performance validation, our products are certified by IAPMO for NSF, ASSE, and the U.S. EPA (WaterSense), and have been tested in accordance with ASHRAE performance criteria.
They also meet European safety and compliance standards, including the EU Drinking Water Directive (2020/2184) and DIN EN 16421 & 58356, reflecting our commitment to global regulatory excellence.
Features:
-
0.08 µm hollow fiber membrane with certified antimicrobial capability
-
Reusable faucet-mounted filtration system with replaceable internal filter cartridge
-
Compatible with ADA-compliant pause adapters
-
Robust pre-filtration cartridge.
-
Tested with NSF P376 + ASSE LEC 2011-2022 + ASTM F838-2015ae + DIN EN 16421 & EPA WaterSense
-
Tested and in compliance with EPA WaterSense & ASTM F838-2015ae.
-
In Compliance with ASTM F838-2020
Benefits:
-
Certified for bacterial and fungal reduction under NSF P376
-
Effectively retains microorganisms without compromising flow performance
-
Reduces waste and operating costs through long-lasting, high-performance filtration
-
Built with antimicrobial-enhanced components to support hygienic operation
-
Suitable for use in facilities that implement Legionella water management protocols
For use as a point-of-use (POU) solution to reduce exposure to waterborne bacteria at the outlet. Independently tested to significantly reduce microbial load, including Legionella pneumophila, E. coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ideal for environments requiring high water hygiene standards.
* Filter capacity is influenced by local water conditions, the concentration of microparticles (SDI), and pre-filtration. SDI is measured according to ASTM D4189-95 standards. It is recommended to replace the filter cartridge every 180 days for optimal performance.
