Frequently Asked Questions

Not so long ago, cutting-edge technology had to be big to be powerful. But just as today's smartphones surpass yesterday's room-sized computers, modern water filtration has evolved.

The T-18 was designed with smart engineering that delivers high performance in a compact form. It fits easily into tight spaces, making it ideal for homes, businesses, and even industrial environments. Installation is simple, maintenance is easy, and it doesn't take up unnecessary space.

Small is not a compromise – it's an upgrade. Compact in design. Huge in performance!

The T-18 is a high-performance water filtration system designed to reduce a wide range of contaminants:

• Hardness – reduces up to 99% of lime scale from pipes and tanks without demineralizing the water
• Parasites – preventing waterborne parasites such as Giardia
• Micro-plastic fibers – effectively trapping micro plastic fibers
• Arsenic – a toxic element that occurs naturally in some groundwater sources
• Chlorine – often used for disinfection but leaves an unpleasant taste and odor
• Fluoride – often added to municipal water, but can be removed if preferred
• Toxic Gases – We are the only system that actively removes undissolved gases, improving both safety and taste
• Lead – Preventing corrosion and lead leakage in pipes and connectors within the house
• Other Contaminants – including organic compounds, aerobic bacteria, industrial chemicals, unwanted particles and more

The T-18 provides a high flow rate, making it suitable for both residential and commercial applications.

• For 1-inch pipes: The T-18 can filter approximately 1,300 gallons per hour
• This means users won't experience pressure drops even when multiple fixtures are in use

The T-18 maintains strong water pressure while delivering clean, filtered water.

The T-18's filtration cartridges are designed for longevity but should be replaced regularly to maintain peak performance.

• Cartridge replacement: Every 6 to 12 months, depending on water quality and usage
• Regular cartridge changes ensure that the system continues to effectively remove contaminants while maintaining optimal water pressure and taste

Pure water. Full power.

The T-18 has been trusted for over a decade across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. It's been tested, refined, and proven in real-world conditions to deliver reliable, high-efficiency performance year after year.

Now, for the first time, the T-18 is available in the United States—bringing its globally trusted technology to American homes and businesses.

At TIPATECH, we've built a strong reputation for designing eco-friendly, high-performance filtration systems. Our technology goes beyond standard filtering by uniquely removing undissolved gases—delivering cleaner, fresher water at every tap.

• Fights Bacteria & Parasites – By removing undissolved gases, the T-18 helps prevent the growth of aerobic bacteria and parasites like Giardia—boosting water safety throughout your home.
• Reduces Scale Without Demineralizing – The T-18 reduces up to 99% of scale buildup in your pipes, tanks, and appliances—without removing essential minerals from your water.
• Eco-Friendly Design – A truly green solution: the T-18 uses no electricity, salt, or softeners, and produces minimal water waste.
• Enhanced Water Filtration – With a 1-micron filter, the T-18 removes rust, microplastic fibers, and intestinal parasites like Giardia.
• Water Conditioning – The T-18 conditions your water to help prevent dry skin and hair—leaving your laundry softer and your body feeling better, all without added chemicals.
• Easy Installation & Maintenance – Designed for simplicity, the T-18 is compact, smart, and user-friendly.
• Magnesium Enrichment (Optional) – Optionally adds magnesium at a concentration of 60 mg/L—ideal for desalinated water—supporting heart health and neurological function.

Small in size. Big on innovation. Only from TipaTech.

Yes. The T-18 has been rigorously tested by certified third-party laboratories to ensure it meets—and exceeds—international water filtration standards.

We believe in transparency. That's why we share real performance data and test results on our website, so you can see exactly how the T-18 performs under real-world conditions.

Tested. Verified. Trusted.

Yes. To keep your T-18 running at peak performance, we recommend a quick monthly flush. It's fast, easy, and eco-friendly.

Manual Flushing:

• How often? Once a month
• How long? Just 30 seconds (around 5 gallons of water)
• Where does the water go? The flushed water is safe to use on plants, soil, or for non-drinking purposes

Hands-Free Option: Automated Flushing

Want zero effort? Install an automatic irrigation timer to flush the system on schedule—no reminders needed. Even better, you can redirect the flushed water straight to your garden or lawn.

This makes the T-18 not just a filtration system, but a smart water management tool for your home—saving time, conserving water, and supporting a greener lifestyle.

Clean filter. Green garden. No hassle.

It depends on how comprehensive you want your filtration to be:

• The T-18 filters all the water in your home—from showers and washing machines to faucets and toilets. It's ideal for removing contaminants that affect skin, air, and appliances. It also protects pipes, appliances and faucets against limescale build up.
• The LotusDY is specialized for drinking water, cooking, coffee, and baby formula. It offers enhanced taste, adjustable mineral levels, and antioxidant rich water.

Together, they create the ultimate whole-home + point-of-use solution—complete protection from tap to glass.

Because clean water shouldn't depend on power.

All TipaTech systems—including the T-18 and LotusDY—are fully non-electric, operating entirely through water pressure. That means:

• No increase in your electricity bill
• No wiring, outlets, or power supplies required
• No risk of electrical failure, shorts, or malfunctions
• Safe for off-grid homes, emergency situations, and eco-conscious households

They're designed to be smarter, simpler, and more reliable—without plugging in a single thing.

Pure water. Powered by pressure.
