What it reduces
Multi-stage filtration, plus UV.
MAZE+UV works across every chemical, physical and biological category — each stage doing what the others can't. Tap a stage to see exactly what it targets.
The carbon stage adsorbs the chemicals most responsible for tap water tasting and smelling off, and captures sediment and larger particles — so the water runs clear and clean in flavor.
This is where Better Tap goes further than a standard system. The patented MAZE filtration captures what other carbon blocks can't — while keeping the calcium, magnesium and potassium your body needs.
After multi-stage filtration, a UV-C stage delivers microbiological treatment (NSF 55 Class B) at the moment you pour — in real time, with no chemicals and no effect on taste or mineral content.
UV-C microbiological treatment
Guarded at the moment you pour.
A built-in UV-C stage shields your water right where it leaves the tap — a purely physical safeguard that adds no chemicals. Between pours, it provides ongoing microbial water treatment, so every glass is as fresh as the first.
What stays in
The minerals you want, kept.
Where reverse osmosis strips water bare, MAZE leaves the good in — so what you drink tastes naturally clean and does your body good.
The technology
Inside every Better Tap.
Filter + UV, every pour: MAZE multi-stage filtration cleans the water, UV keeps it that way.
MAZE Filtration
Reduces lead, chlorine, microplastics and hormones — keeps the minerals.
UV microbiological treatment
A built-in UV stage adds microbial water treatment — every glass fresh.
Every temperature
Chilled, ambient or boiling — instantly.
No kettle, no waiting. The same filtered water arrives at exactly the temperature you reach for, the moment you ask for it.
Independently certified
Verified, not just claimed.
Better Tap is tested and certified against independent NSF/ANSI standards — so the performance is proven, not promised.
