Water Quality in Attica and the Need for Filtration in Daily Use

Attica, with its large population and extensive urban areas, relies on a water supply network that supplies millions of residents and businesses daily. Of course, the water that reaches the city's taps is subject to regular treatment and checks by the main provider, EYDAP, in accordance with European Union specifications.

Although official assessments generally show high quality and compliance with standards, many homes and workplaces face practical challenges from the source of the water to the point of use. The main problems affecting Athens' water itself are the following:

Urban Network and Domestic Consumption

Initially, the urban water supply network of Attica supplies water to hundreds of thousands of apartments and single-family homes, where the taste, smell and appearance of the water may vary slightly from neighborhood to neighborhood. These variations are due to changes in pipes and internal installations, despite continuous efforts to process and control the quality by the competent bodies.

Apartment Buildings and Old Internal Piping

In many homes in Athens, internal pipes have been in use for many years, which can affect the water, despite the initial quality provided by the network. The accumulation of microparticles or fluctuations in flow are issues that residents face daily.

Thus, using a fixed water filtration system at the tap or under the counter can help maintain more consistent performance specifications and reduce variations due to the age of the network.

Professional Use in Offices and Businesses

Nowadays, business premises, such as offices and service areas, have higher needs for a continuous supply of filtered water. In such environments, flow stability and operational quality are critical to meeting the needs of users.

Here too, the adoption of an integrated water filtration system can contribute to an improved user experience and to meeting the quality standards sought by businesses and professionals.

The Leading Filtration Solutions
for All Places in Athens

In Attica, where daily water use for drinking, cooking or professional use is high, there is no “one size fits all” solution. Instead, choosing the right filter is based on the needs of your space and lifestyle.

The two basic filtration systems are countertop water filters, for flexible personal use, and undercounter water filters, for permanent and more comprehensive installation.

Countertop Water Filters for Personal Use

Countertop water filters are quickly installed on the kitchen faucet and are ideal for personal use or for spaces where a permanent plumbing intervention is not possible or desirable.

This option provides filtered water without the need for special equipment under the counter. Compared to more temporary solutions such as pitchers, Olympus countertop filters offer a consistent flow and remain flexible in the event of a move or change of space.

Countertop Water Filters

Undercounter Water Filters for Permanent Installation

On the other hand, under-counter water filters are integrated inside the cabinet and connected directly to the water supply, remaining “invisible” and discreet. This solution enables a constant supply of filtered water, ideal for families with larger needs or for spaces where use is continuous and daily.

Compared to other simpler filters, under-counter systems generally offer greater capacity and more sophisticated filtration capabilities, making them suitable for permanent installations that require long-term reliability.

Undercounter Water Filters

With What Criteria Can You Choose the Right Water Filter for Your Space?;

Choosing the right water filter Athens depends on the needs of the space, the way it is used, and the preference for the type of installation. Proper evaluation ensures that your investment will provide consistent performance, clean water, and reliability over time. The key criteria you should consider include:

1. Type of Space:

Home, office or professional space determines the required capacity and the choice between upper or lower countertop.

2. Frequency of Use:

Large families or spaces with high consumption need filters with higher flow and longer life.

3. Ease of Installation:

In rental spaces or temporary installations, above-counter filters offer an immediate solution without plumbing interventions.

4. Maintenance and Availability of Spare Parts:

A filter with easy maintenance and support in Athens ensures continuous performance.
