Triflow Concepts Filters

Triflow Concepts Filters

A Triflow filter cartridge is the part that keeps a three-way tap's filtered water tasting the way it should. It sits inside the housing fitted under the sink, doing its job quietly while the hot and cold sides of the tap carry on as normal, and it's the one part of the whole system that's built to be swapped out rather than kept for good. Most buyers land on this page already owning a Triflow filter tap and simply needing the right part, not deciding whether to buy one in the first place.

Matching the cartridge to your tap

Triflow's cartridges come in two fitting types, screw-fit and push-fit, and the one you need matches whichever housing is already under your sink rather than being a matter of taste. If you're setting up a Triflow filter tap for the first time rather than replacing a cartridge in an existing one, the range includes a bundle covering both the housing and its first cartridge together, so there's nothing extra to track down separately. Getting the fitting type right the first time saves a return trip to reorder, since a cartridge that doesn't match the housing simply won't seat properly.

Genuine cartridges, and why they're worth choosing

A cartridge is built to be replaced rather than to last the lifetime of the tap, so planning for a new one now and then is part of owning a filter tap, not a sign anything's gone wrong. Triflow's own cartridges are built to the tolerances the housing expects, and though compatible third-party versions exist, a genuine one is the safer bet if you want the fit and the filtering to match what the tap was designed around. They're hand-assembled and tested in the UK, and it's the detail one of our reviewers picked out unprompted. As Marjorie L. put it: "Brilliant Tap and excellent easy to fit water filter which is a game changer as water tastes so much better. I can highly recommend this British made quality Triflow 3 way tap." The same three-way principle runs through the rest of the Triflow Concepts range, from the filter taps themselves to the boiling water models alongside them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which cartridge fits my tap?

It depends on which housing is already fitted under your sink rather than personal preference, since Triflow's cartridges come in two fitting types. Screw-fit and push-fit aren't interchangeable, so check which type your existing housing takes before ordering. If you're not sure, the housing itself usually makes the fitting style obvious once you know what to look for.

What's the difference between screw-fit and push-fit cartridges?

Screw-fit cartridges twist into place, while push-fit cartridges simply push in and lock, and the housing already under your sink only accepts one or the other. Neither format filters any better than the other; they're just different ways of sealing the same cartridge in, so the right choice is whichever matches your existing housing, not personal taste.

Do I need to replace the housing every time I change the cartridge?

No, the housing is designed to stay in place for as long as the tap does, and it's only the cartridge inside it that needs swapping. Replacing the housing as well only really comes up if it's damaged or you're switching fitting types altogether, which is the exception rather than the routine job most buyers are doing.

How often does the filter cartridge need changing?

It depends on how much water passes through it and how hard your water is, rather than a fixed number of months, so there's no single answer for every kitchen. Heavier use and harder water both bring the change point forward, and lighter use pushes it back, so treat it as a running cost tied to how the tap actually gets used.

Is a genuine Triflow cartridge different from a compatible one?

Yes. A genuine Triflow cartridge is built to the tolerances the housing was designed around, so the fit and the filtering match what the tap expects. Compatible cartridges exist too, but they're not built to the same tolerances, so neither the fit nor the filtering performance is guaranteed the way it is with a genuine one.

Do I need to buy the filter housing separately from the cartridge?

Usually, yes, housing and cartridge are sold as separate parts so you only replace what actually needs replacing. If you're fitting a Triflow filter tap for the first time rather than swapping a cartridge in an existing one, the range also includes a bundle covering both the housing and a first cartridge together.
