Unfiltered tap water
Filtered with EcoPro
The EcoPro filter contains a limescale inhibitor that stops the water's calcium and magnesium from forming deposits in kettles, coffee machines, taps and pipes. It doesn't remove those minerals, but limescale no longer forms. The hardness measured in your area is in the full parameter list.

TAPP Water EcoPro filters do not remove healthy minerals such as calcium and magnesium, so the mineral content (total dissolved solids, TDS) is the same before and after filtering.

PFAS are regulated by the Swedish Food Agency (LIVSFS 2022:12). From 2026 the limit is 4 ng/l for the sum of four PFAS (PFAS 4) and 100 ng/l for 21 PFAS (PFAS 21). The card rates PFAS 4 where it is reported, otherwise PFAS 21. Where no value appears, the water utility has not reported one.
The "Filtered" column shows the estimated result after filtering with TAPP Water EcoPro filters.
