Ever stood at the sink, staring at your tap, wondering… will this actually work with a water filter?

You’re not alone.

Between school lunches, bath time chaos, and trying to drink more water yourself, the last thing you need is buying something that doesn’t fit. The good news? Most standard taps work perfectly with a Lushi water filter - and it only takes a minute to check.

Let’s walk through it together.

Why does filtered water even matter at home?

Before we get into fittings and adapters, let’s zoom out for a second.

Tap water in Australia is generally safe - but that doesn’t mean it’s always ideal for everyday family use.

Unfiltered water can contain:

Chlorine (affects taste and smell)
Sediment and tiny particles
Trace impurities from pipes

According to water quality reports referenced by health authorities, chlorine is commonly added to disinfect water, but it can leave that sharp smell and taste many families notice.

Filtered water, on the other hand:

Tastes cleaner (which helps kids drink more)
Reduces chlorine and odours
Feels gentler on skin - especially for little ones

And if you’ve ever tried washing a toddler’s hair while they complain about “weird-smelling water”… you’ll understand why this matters.

Step 1 - what type of tap do you have?

Before attaching your tap filter, we need to check one small thing - your aerator.

That’s the little piece at the end of your tap.

External thread aerator

Threads are visible on the outside
The aerator screws onto the tap

This is the most common type.

Good news: Lushi Filter usually fits straight on or with a simple adapter.

Internal thread aerator

Threads are inside the tap
The outside looks smooth

Still very common in modern homes.

You’re still covered - you’ll just use a different adapter.

Can your aerator be removed?

This is the real deciding factor.

If your aerator can be removed

You’re in the easy category.

Here’s what to do:

Unscrew the aerator
Check if it’s internal or external thread
Match it with the right adapter

Typical sizes:

22mm internal
23–24mm external

This is where your Lushi filter connects neatly.

If your aerator cannot be removed

Don’t stress - there’s still a way.

Check:

External diameter: 15–21mm
Downward length: at least 20mm

In this case, a multi-function adapter can be installed over the tap.

Step 3 - choosing the right adapter

Think of adapters like the “middle piece” that makes everything fit properly.

With the Lushi Filter:

Multiple adapters are included
You match based on your tap type
No tools required

Simple twist, secure fit, done.

What taps will not fit?

Let’s be real - not every tap is filter-friendly.

Lushi Filter will not fit:

Square or flat taps
Spray-style taps
Pull-out hose taps
Sensor taps
Very short spouts

If your tap looks more like a design feature than a standard tap… it might not be compatible.

Quick 10-second check

Here’s the simplest way to know:

If your tap is:

Round
Has a removable aerator
Has visible or internal threads

Then your water filter will most likely fit.

How does Lushi filter actually improve your water?

The Lushi Filter uses a 3-stage microfiltration system:

Pre-filter

Removes larger particles

Granular activated carbon

Reduces chlorine and odours

Sediment filter

Captures fine particles

What you get:

Cleaner tasting water
Less chlorine smell
A better everyday experience for your family

And yes, even your kids might notice.

Still unsure?

Totally normal.

If you’re stuck:

Take a photo of your tap
Check if the aerator can be removed
Compare it with the guide above

Or simply reach out before buying.

Better to check once than return later.
