How Does the Billi Alpine Filtered Tap compare to the competition?

Chemical Filtration

The Billi Alpine sparkling tap uses a single certified NSF filter that is manufactured with unique Fibredyne technology allowing for longer filter life, higher flow rate and lower pressure drop.

Available in a sub-micron rating or a 10 micron rating, both filter options reduce sediment, bad tastes and odours, chlorine, chemicals, and pesticides. The sub-micron filter provides additional filtration of heavy metals, giardia, and cryptosporidium cysts.

If you do require additional fluoride reduction or bacteria and viruses filtration, you will need an additional filter system to combat these issues which can easily be added to the Billi Alpine Sparkling tap.

Water Quality

The water is filtered on both sides so it tastes clean, fresh, and is free of bitter aftertaste unlike standard tap water. The sparkling water taste is not dissimilar to commercial bottled mineral water, but you get the added advantage of knowing how it is filtered, saving the effort and cost of buying bottles, and minimising the environmental impact of plastic and transport.

The water is cold and crisp and it's great with a twist of fresh lemon or even a dash of cranberry juice. The chiller temperature can be adjusted as well as the level of CO2 dispensed, so if you like lots of bubbles or only a few the unit can be adjusted to suit.

Maintenance

Apart from filter and CO2 changes, the Billi Alpine sparkling tap is low maintenance. Depending on your water quality and usage, the average family home should see approximately 12 months of use from the filter. It's very easy to change the filter yourself with a quick, swing change action.

The amount of sparkling water you drink will determine the life of a one kilogram CO2 canister. On average, each canister should produce approximately 166 litres of sparkling water. It's a good idea to keep a spare CO2 canister on hand so when you run out, you can change this over yourself and purchase a replacement CO2 when convenient. Again this is very easy to do yourself.

During each filter or CO2 change, it's a good idea to check all water connections and fittings for any signs of leakage and damage along with the base of the unit for any signs of moisture.

Value for Money

This is our best selling chilled and sparkling system for a reason. Chilling technology and capacity, compact under bench system, inexpensive replacement filters and CO2 canisters, stylish modern tap, two-year warranty, and Australian owned and manufactured. And better still, it's actually one of the cheaper sparkling taps on the market today retailing around the $2,500 mark.

It should last you a good 8 to 10 years and if you purchase bottles of sparkling or filtered water every week, or you run a restaurant or cafe and buy bottles of sparkling water constantly, do your sums. This unit may in fact save you money before you even know it.
