How to Replace a Faucet Filter Cartridge

Clean water doesn’t happen once. It happens through consistency.
To keep your tāep faucet filter working at its best, replace the refill cartridge every 2 months.
This keeps impurities out, water flowing clear, and your skin and hair protected effortlessly.

And if you’re curious about what’s really in your tap water before and after filtration? We’ll show you how to test it at home in minutes.

Step 1: Replace Your Faucet Filter Refill

The process is tool-free and takes less than a minute:

1. Hold the filter body with one hand
2. Twist the bottom cap counterclockwise to remove it
3. Pull out the used refill and dispose of it responsibly
4. Insert a new refill (flat-side first)
5. Screw the cap back on until secure

✅ Done. Fresh water, better skin, stronger hair you’re ready to flow.

💡 Pro tip: On our Smart Refill subscription, a new cartridge arrives exactly when you need it. Zero hassle, maximum impact.

Step 2: Test Your Tap Water Quality

Want to see what your tāep filter is blocking? A quick home test can reveal chlorine, hardness, and metals in minutes.

You’ll need:

• A water test kit (available online or at most hardware stores)

• A clean glass of tap water

• Optional: stopwatch or phone timer

How to test:

1. Dip a test strip into unfiltered tap water for 2–5 seconds
2. Compare the strip’s color to the kit’s chart (watch for hardness, chlorine, heavy metals)
3. Repeat with water from your tāep faucet filter

What you’ll notice:

• Lower chlorine levels
• Softer water with reduced hardness

• Clearer, fresher taste and feel

• Peace of mind knowing what’s no longer hitting your skin

Why It Matters

Replacing your cartridge on time means:

• Full performance from your filter

• Consistent skin + hair protection

• Confidence in what you’re really washing with

Water quality is the foundation of skincare and self-care.
Stay consistent, stay protected.
