How do I get a Puratap?

We have three taps to choose from when installing your new Puratap.  When our plumber comes to install your Puratap he will help you choose the best place to put it so that you can take advantage of the handy three hundred and sixty degree rotation.

The first is our very popular standard tap.  It comes with a black flick lever.  If you need to fill your pot or kettle, simply swing the arm and pull the lever up. This way it can fill while you are doing other things in your kitchen.

Puratap also have two designer taps to choose from, they are easy to use and arthritis friendly with a stylish design.  The Mark II mirrors a flick mixer with a swivel knob.  Or the Imperial which has a high goose neck making it easy to get drink bottles and kettles under the spout.  Like the Mark II it also has a swivel knob.

The Puratap installer always carries all three, so you can decide which one you prefer on the day.

This is a question that we get asked a lot!  We don't want you to lose your precious cupboard space so we have made the unit as small as possible.  Here is a list of dimensions that you may be wondering about:

Puratap unit:  30cm (height) x 25cm (width) x 12cm (depth)
Standard tap:  22 cm (height) x 15cm (reach) x 2cm (width at base) x 1cm (width at spout)
Mark II tap:  22 cm (height) x 15cm (reach) x 4cm (width at base) x 1cm (width at spout)
Imperial tap:  30 cm (height) x 12 cm (reach) x 4xm (width at base) x 1cm (width at spout)
Mixer tap:  17 cm (height) x 30 cm (reach) x 5 cm (width)
Hole in the sink: 13mm diameter

At Puratap, we’re on the mark when we say that it’s not safe to drink rain water.  Why?  Well you might think its better than drinking tap water, but water stored in tanks contains heavy metals such as lead  - at unacceptable levels (Maygar 2008)!  Lead that is absorbed into the body, can make its way to the kidney, liver and bone marrow.  Lead can severely affect the central nervous system, often persisting in bone for up to 30 years (Rabinowitz 1990)!

Additionally, pathogenic organisms can also be introduced into the water through faecal contamination of small animal and bird droppings. The amount of bacteria they carry can cause diarrhea and vomiting, making you very sick.

The Puratap unit is designed to remove chemicals and undissolved particles from water which has been sterilised.  As we cant be sure exactly what organisms may be in rainwater, we can't guarantee it is safe to drink.  At Puratap we aren't interested in selling you a unit that wont be 100% effective in purifying your water, that's why we wont sell you a unit to use with rainwater. 

Yes, although it does depend on what water supply the boat or caravan will be using.  If you will be using mains water connections for the water supply then that is fine!

We aim to please and we want happy customers!  So we have recently introduced a new mixer tap.  It is in its infancy and has been very popular so we are selling out, but call us today on 133 502 and we can discuss your tap options!

The very popular mixer tap allows you to have beautiful filtered water on tap, without having an extra tap on your sink! It has a mixer handle on top for you mains fed hot and cold water, in addition to a dial for filtered water which is fed through a seperate line into the tap so that it is not contaminated with unfiltered tap water.

We are serious when we say that we want all South Australians to have clean, filtered drinking water.  There is no job too hard to get a Puratap installed!  There are some houses however that are harder than your average installation.  Don't worry, you can still have a Puratap!  We simply need to send a different plumber to do the job!  We have a crew of specially trained plumbers that can arrange installation with difficult or out of the ordinary plumbing, make sure you explain this to our consultants when you call to make sure that we send out the right plumber and he is well equipped to perform your job.

The recommended retail price for a Puratap is  $349.  However, we always have great specials on.  Are you an existing Puratap customer? We'll reward your loyalty with an extra special price!  Call us today on 133 502 and we can give you a quote on installation for your home.
 

Even if you live outside the Adelaide metropolitan area you can still have a Puratap!  We can post a unit out to you for your local plumber to install.  We can then make sure that you are always drinking clean filtered water by posting you a new set of filters for your annual filter change when they're due to be replaced. 

In most cases we can install one for you tomorrow!  The installation will usually less than half an hour, often only 15 minutes, and you can be drinking great filtered water that day!  Call one of our consultants on 133 502 and they will let you know how soon we can get a plumber out to your house!

Of course!  Peace of mind with good quality drinking water is a great present for a loved one.  We can either arrange for a gift voucher to be sent to that person, or, if you have access to their house we can arrange an install with you for a surprise!  Call our consultants on 133 502 to discuss your options.

If you are renting a property, you can still have a Puratap!  You own your Puratap and you can take it with you where ever you go!  The landlord loves it because you are improving their property and adding value to it … so even though you take your Puratap to your new place, you’re leaving the highest quality plumbing products behind under the kitchen sink.  If they're worried about the hole left in the sink, Puratap caps the sink so that no damage is done.  Then, its Puratap ready for the next tenant to move in… fitting the Puratap with no plumber required.

Yes!  Our licensed plumbers are more than happy to come and install a unit for you on a Saturday.  Call 133 502 and our consultants can advise you the next Saturday we are in your area.  What about filter changes?  We understand how busy our customers are!  We are more than happy to arrange your filter change on a Saturday with one of our plumbers, for a small call out fee. Unfortunately for this we are unable to charge the loyalty price that we can on a weekday when we do everyone in your street on the same day.  

Yes, generally speaking we can install in these harder stone benchtops.  The plumber will need to have specific masonry drill bits to install the tap through these stones though so please make sure you discuss this with our consultant when booking your installation so that we can make sure the plumber is properly equipped when he comes to your home.
