Ionza PureTap X

Clean, balanced drinking water, built as a system

The PureTap X is a modular under-sink system designed to give you clean, great-tasting water without unnecessary complexity.

Rather than a single filter trying to do everything, this system is built in layers:

-Remove contaminants

-Protect against microbial risks (optional)

-Restore natural mineral balance (optional)

This allows you to tailor your setup depending on your water source and level of confidence.

Clean, Safe Water – Made Simple

The Ionza PureTap X is a beautifully minimal chrome filter tap paired with our long-life Active Pure Xtra carbon filter.

Designed for town supply homes wanting strong contaminant reduction without complexity.

This is your first step toward better water.

Start with PureTap X, then add layers based on your water and preferences.

PureTap Core System, Active Pure Xtra Filtration

The Active Pure Xtra is the core filtration stage within the PureTap system, designed to deliver clean, stable drinking water for everyday use.

It combines KDF 30 and Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) to reduce a wide range of common contaminants while maintaining strong flow and long filter life.

What it does

This filter focuses on improving the safety, taste, and consistency of your water by reducing:

-Chlorine (up to 99%)

-Heavy metals (including lead, mercury, arsenic)

-VOCs, pesticides, and industrial chemicals

-Disinfection byproducts (THMs)

-Sediment, cysts, and fine particles (1 micron)

The result is water that tastes cleaner and feels more reliable day to day.

How it works

-KDF media helps reduce heavy metals and inhibits bacterial growth within the filter

-Activated carbon (GAC) adsorbs chlorine, chemicals, and odours

-1-micron filtration captures fine particles and cysts

This dual-media design improves both filtration performance and filter lifespan.

Capacity & lifespan

-Filters up to 30,000 litres

-Designed for up to 3 years of use (depending on water quality and usage)

This makes it a strong long-life option for households wanting consistent performance without frequent replacements.

PureTap + Ultra, Advanced Protection Layer

Adds an additional level of protection for water sources where microbial contamination may be a concern.

-Ultra-filtration membrane (~0.01 micron)
-Filters bacteria and cysts (including Giardia & Cryptosporidium)
-Reduces microplastics and fine particulates
-Provides an added barrier beyond standard carbon filtration

Designed for water that may carry biological risk, not typically addressed by carbon filters alone.

Best suited for:

-Rural or tank water supplies
-Homes using collected rainwater
-Anyone wanting extra reassurance beyond standard filtration

Adds a protection layer where standard filtration may not be enough.

PureTap + Alka Spring, Mineral Restoration Layer

After filtration, water can become neutral and stripped of natural mineral balance.

The Alka Spring stage restores key elements that support taste and overall water quality.

-Adds beneficial minerals using natural mineral media
-Gently raises and stabilises pH
-Improves taste, smoothness, and mouthfeel
-Designed to work post-filtration for balanced drinking water

This stage focuses on restoring what is lost during filtration, rather than removing contaminants.

Best suited for:

-Daily drinking water
-Homes wanting improved taste and a more natural water profile
-Those looking to complement filtration with mineral balance

PureTap + Ultra + Alka Spring

Combines all three stages of the PureTap system into one complete, layered solution:

-Active Pure Xtra → removes contaminants
-Ultra Filtration → protects against microbial risks
-Alka Spring → restores mineral balance and taste

Designed to deliver clean, stable, and great-tasting drinking water, without needing to overthink individual components.

This setup brings together removal, protection, and restoration into a single, well-balanced system.

Best suited for:

-Homes wanting a complete, all-in-one solution
-Mixed or uncertain water sources
-Anyone looking for maximum confidence in their drinking water

The Active Pure Xtra is a high-performance carbon block prefilter designed to significantly reduce chlorine, taste, odour, sediment, and a wide range of chemical contaminants commonly found in town water supplies.

Its 1-micron rating allows it to capture fine particles while the carbon media helps reduce chlorine byproducts and other unwanted compounds that affect taste and water quality.

This cartridge is designed to last up to 3 years under normal household usage.

Actual lifespan depends on:

  • Your household water consumption
  • The quality of your incoming water
  • Sediment levels and chlorine concentration

If your water has high sediment or heavy contamination, replacement may be required sooner.

Yes, for many households this is an excellent standalone starter filtration solution for improving taste and reducing chlorine.

However, if you:

  • Are concerned about bacteria or microplastics
  • Want fluoride removal
  • Or require ultra-fine filtration

You may want to pair it with ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, or mineral enhancement depending on your goals.

The Active Pure Xtra is a high-density carbon block system engineered for longer life and stronger contaminant reduction performance.

Compared to basic carbon filters, it:

  • Offers a longer lifespan
  • Provides finer micron filtration (1 micron)
  • Maintains strong chlorine reduction capacity over time

It’s built as a serious prefilter, not a short-term jug-style cartridge.

Yes, it delivers superior hydration and antioxidation directly from your tap.

Invest in wellness with proven hydration benefits and essential mineral infusion.

Installation is streamlined for convenience, quickly enjoying revitalized water. To ensure you don't void any insurance requirements, you are best to have a qualified plumber install this solution. Replacing the cartridge can be done yourself

Installing our water filtration system is designed to be straightforward, and drilling a hole in your benchtop can be simpler than you think! For common materials like laminate, wood, or stainless steel, most plumbers can easily handle drilling with standard tools. If your benchtop is made of specialized materials, such as stone or glass, we recommend working with a skilled professional to ensure a precise and clean cut. And if you’re in the building or renovation phase, let your installer know the hole size and location in advance—this can make the installation process even easier! We're here to support you every step of the way.
