Why SWICH?
Does your tap water taste so bad that you are forced to buy bottled mineral water or use a space consuming water filter jug? If so, adding a Swich to your kitchen will solve your problems.
Using Swich means you are not restricted when choosing the style of tap, be it pull out, professional, single lever or traditional. Or add Swich alongside your existing tap to transform its functionality. The main benefit as we see it is you can finally ditch single use plastic bottles if you’re a consumer of bottled mineral water.
The Award Winning Swich is easy to install, either in the worktop or in the second tap hole of an inset sink, it can even be installed in the bathroom for that late night thirst.

Filtration choices
If you live in a soft or moderate water area, the minerals which cause water hardness and scale are not generally a problem. Therefore the Swich GAC filter is the option for you, this simply deals with taste and odour to ensure that chlorine taste doesn’t put you off drinking the water from your tap.
In a hard or very hard water area you need the High Resin filter option. As well as dealing with taste and odour this filter also contains polyphosphate which reduces water harness and scale. This is especially important for appliance protection, using filtered water to fill up the kettle for example will significantly reduce scale build up on the element and in turn potentially prolong the life of this appliance, as well as proving a much nicer cup of tea of course.
Why filter your drinking water?
During the water cycle water can pick up minerals, particulates and contaminants. Much of this is dealt with before the water enters our homes, however particulates which block valves on equipment and have an unpleasant taste can remain, as well as the unpleasant taste and smell of chlorine which is introduced to deal with any contaminants in the water.
