How It Works
Countertop filters treat water right where you use it — at your kitchen sink. Depending on the model, you'll find:
- Ceramic + carbon systems. A popular, simple choice for everyday filtering.
- Single or multi-stage housings. Separate stages — sediment, then carbon — for a more targeted filter.
- Benchtop reverse osmosis. Membrane-based filtering for RO-style purity on your bench.
What's in This Collection
- Complete countertop systems — ceramic, single-stage, and multi-stage
- Benchtop RO systems
- Replacement cartridges and packs for supported systems
Installation & Maintenance
Most countertop systems connect to your kitchen tap using a diverter. Tap styles vary across Australian kitchens, so check your tap type and included fittings on the product page before you order.
Replace your cartridge when flow slows, or taste or odour changes — or on the schedule listed on the product page. See our Replacement Filter Cartridges Guide for details.

FAQs
What's the difference between countertop and undersink filters?
Countertop filters sit on your bench. They're flexible and simple to set up. Undersink systems install under the sink with their own tap — more "set and forget" once fitted.
Will it fit my kitchen tap?
Many units connect to a compatible tap or aerator, but not every tap is the same. Check the product page for compatibility notes. Not sure? Send us a photo of your tap.
Do I need electricity?
Most non-RO countertop filters don't need power. Some benchtop RO models do — check the product page for details.
How often do I replace the cartridges?
It depends on the cartridge type, how much you use it, and your local water. Follow the guidance on the product page, or replace sooner if flow drops or taste changes. See our Replacement Filter Cartridges Guide.
Which option suits renters?
Countertop systems are popular with renters. They don't need permanent changes to your cabinetry. Just confirm tap compatibility before you buy.
