Why we built itHolyH₂O · Family-run, Sydney
Better-tasting tap water without giving up bench space or calling a plumber.
Read the rest

We made Tap Mate for kitchens where a benchtop filter doesn't fit: renters, small spaces, busy households. It screws onto the tap you already have, filters on demand, and the lever switches to unfiltered water for the dishes so your cartridge lasts longer. Everything we sell has to pass one test: would we use it in our own homes, every single day?

Why You'll Love It

HolyH₂O™ Tap Mate twists straight onto your kitchen tap and gives you filtered water on demand, no plumbing, no tools, no bottled water. Its multi-stage carbon filtration reduces the chlorine, sediment and other common contaminants that affect how your tap water tastes and feels, so a cleaner glass is always one turn away. 🚰

💡 Australian tap water is disinfected with chlorine. And on the way to your glass it can pick up sediment, rust and other bits from ageing pipes, the things you can taste and would rather not. Tap Mate filters them right where you use the water, so drinking and cooking water is cleaner, without the cost and plastic of bottled water.

Here's why you'll love it:

  • 💧 Mountain-stream taste: crisp, clean water with the chlorine taste and smell gone
  • 🦠 Peace of mind: broad, third-party-tested filtration you can drink without a second thought
  • 🔧 DIY friendly: swap the cartridge in seconds, no tools, no stress
  • 🦘 Express delivery: straight from Sydney, faster than a roo on the run
  • ⭐️ Loved by 100,000+ Aussie households

What Tap Mate filters

Third-party tested across a 150+ contaminant panel, Tap Mate's multi-stage carbon media targets what affects the taste and quality of your drinking water:

✅ Chlorine, up to 99%, the disinfectant behind that pool-like taste and smell

✅ Lead and other heavy metals

✅ Rust, sediment and microplastics

✅ VOCs and other common tap water contaminants

✅ Keeps beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium

I wanted something renter friendly that might improve taste enough to stop our bottled water habit. That is exactly what happened. Setup was quick, the water is nicer and our shopping is lighter now because we are not buying packs of water. I also noticed coffee was better within the first day or two. For a small kitchen and a rental setup, it has been excellent.

Tap Mate by HolyH₂O™ | Cleaner Tap Water in 60 Seconds

Our family has been trying to make a few simple household changes that actually last, and this has been one of them. We are drinking more water, buying less bottled water and throwing out a lot less plastic. The kids use it without complaints and I think tea tastes noticeably better. It was easy to set up and has blended into the kitchen routine really well. I am very happy with it.

Tap Mate by HolyH₂O™ | Cleaner Tap Water in 60 Seconds

I bought this because I wanted to stop lugging bottled water home and free up pantry space. It has done both. The water tastes cleaner, coffee has improved and even the kids are happy drinking it from their school bottles. Guests have commented on the taste as well, which was a nice surprise. It has been easy to live with and useful from day one. I would happily buy it again.

Tap Mate by HolyH₂O™ | Cleaner Tap Water in 60 Seconds

I wanted to stop buying bottled water and make our rental kitchen work better for us. This has done both pretty well. Setup was easy, the taste difference was noticeable and we use it every day for drinking water, tea and cooking. Guests have even said the water tastes good, which says a lot. I gave 4 stars because I would have liked slightly more flow, but I would still buy it again.

Tap Mate by HolyH₂O™ | Cleaner Tap Water in 60 Seconds

The part I appreciate most is that it changed our routine without making life harder. We fill drink bottles at the sink, keep cold water in the fridge and use it for tea and cooking. The taste is better, which is why the whole house has stuck with it. We are also buying far less bottled water now. It feels like one of those practical upgrades that just makes sense once you have it.

Tap Mate by HolyH₂O™ | Cleaner Tap Water in 60 Seconds

This has worked better than I expected. We bought it to cut back on bottled water and maybe improve the taste a bit. In reality it did both more than enough. The water is nicer to drink, the kids have stopped asking for bottled water and we use it constantly for the kettle and fridge bottles. It has made the kitchen feel less cluttered and a lot less wasteful. Very solid purchase.

Tap Mate by HolyH₂O™ | Cleaner Tap Water in 60 Seconds

I ordered Tap Mate after a friend mentioned they had stopped buying bottled water once they found a better option for the tap. I am glad I followed that idea. It was easy to install in our unit, the water tastes cleaner and even guests have commented on it. We have used it for tea, coffee, cooking and just everyday drinking. The convenience has been excellent and the savings on bottled water have been noticeable too.

Tap Mate by HolyH₂O™ | Cleaner Tap Water in 60 Seconds

I wanted something practical that would help our family drink more water and rely less on bottled water. This has done exactly that. The kids use their bottles more, the fridge jug is always empty and the taste is much nicer than before. We have saved money and cut down on the amount of plastic in the recycling. It has been one of those sensible household purchases that pays off every day.

Tap Mate by HolyH₂O™ | Cleaner Tap Water in 60 Seconds

The product has been great, but what stands out most is how much easier it has made everyday life. We are not buying bottled water constantly, there is less plastic around the house and the water tastes better across the board. My partner noticed the coffee first and I noticed the difference in plain water. It also suited our apartment because it was easy to set up and did not need any permanent changes. Very happy with it.

Tap Mate by HolyH₂O™ | Cleaner Tap Water in 60 Seconds

We bought this because our youngest had started refusing tap water, which meant we were buying more bottled water than I wanted to admit. Since switching, that problem has pretty much disappeared. She fills her own bottle from the sink and drinks it without fuss. The rest of us have noticed the taste difference too, especially in tea and cold water. It has helped the whole house get into better habits without forcing it.

Tap Mate by HolyH₂O™ | Cleaner Tap Water in 60 Seconds

I am in a rental and did not want to spend money on something I could not take with me later. This has suited that perfectly. It was simple to install and the water tastes much better than before. I noticed it first in coffee, then with plain water, and after that I realised I had stopped buying bottled water for the house. It has made daily life easier without turning into another job to manage.

Tap Mate by HolyH₂O™ | Cleaner Tap Water in 60 Seconds

We bought this hoping to make a few better household habits stick, and it has helped. The kids drink more water, we fill reusable bottles instead of buying plastic ones and the water tastes much nicer. It has also been great for the kettle and general kitchen use. I only knocked off one star because installation took me two tries to get right on our tap. Once it was on properly, no issues.

Tap Mate by HolyH₂O™ | Cleaner Tap Water in 60 Seconds

We have had this on for a while now and it has quietly become one of the most useful things in our kitchen. My daughter drinks more water, my husband says coffee tastes better and I love not buying bottled water every week. We keep a jug in the fridge and refill bottles all day. Even guests have mentioned the water tastes good. It has helped with cost, convenience and just making the house run a bit better.

Tap Mate by HolyH₂O™ | Cleaner Tap Water in 60 Seconds

I kept meaning to sort our water out and finally ordered this. Water tastes much better now. The whole family noticed the difference. Really simple to attach. We have basically stopped buying bottled water. It suits our place really well. Looks a bit plain but it works well.

Tap Mate by HolyH₂O™ | Cleaner Tap Water in 60 Seconds

I was mainly after convenience because I was sick of buying and carrying bottled water. What I did not expect was that it would improve coffee, tea and even ice enough to notice. We now use it for everything and barely buy bottled water at all. It was easy to fit in our rental and has taken up hardly any room. For something so straightforward, it has delivered a lot of value.

Questions worth asking

What is the Tap Mate and what does it filter?

A 6-stage filter in a 304 stainless steel housing that screws onto your existing tap. It's third-party tested to NSF Standards 42 and 53 and reduces over 150 contaminants including chlorine, sediment, rust, taste and odour compounds, and metals such as lead. Stage 1 is a PP cotton pre-filter for rust and sediment, Stage 2 is coconut-shell activated carbon, with four further stages behind them. Because the housing is stainless rather than plastic, no plastic touches your water on the way through.

Will the Tap Mate fit my tap?

It fits around 95% of standard Australian taps. The 5% it doesn't: pull-out or pull-down spray taps, sensor or touchless taps, square or unusually shaped spouts, and taps where the aerator can't be unscrewed. If yours is a plain round spout with a removable aerator, you're almost certainly fine. If you're not sure, don't guess: email a photo of your tap to hi@holyh2o.com.au and we'll tell you.

Does the Tap Mate remove fluoride?

Yes. The Tap Mate also reduces fluoride. It uses carbon and activated alumina filtration, so it reduces fluoride alongside chlorine, sediment, rust, lead and other contaminants.

Will it slow my water flow? Can I switch it off?

Flow stays comfortable for everyday use, and you can switch between filtered and unfiltered. Use unfiltered for washing up and filling the sink so you're not spending cartridge life on dishwater, and filtered for drinking, cooking and rinsing produce. If flow drops noticeably over time, that's the cartridge telling you it's due.

Do I need a plumber or tools?

No. Unscrew the aerator on the end of your tap and screw the Tap Mate on by hand, in under 60 seconds. Adapters are included. A stubborn old aerator may need a quick turn with pliers.

How often do I change the cartridge?

Around 3 months. That's a guide: your water quality and household size shift it. When you fit a new cartridge, run it for a minute or two before you drink from it.

Can I run hot water through it?

Filter cold water only. Hot water damages activated carbon media and shortens cartridge life considerably. Switch to the unfiltered setting for hot water, and filter cold water then heat it if you need hot filtered water for cooking or tea.

Can I use it in a rental?

Yes. Nothing is drilled or plumbed in. Put your original aerator back on when you move and take the Tap Mate with you.
