The problem runs deeper than you think
40%
of water mains in Canada are cast iron, and 86% of those are more than 50 years old.
70%
of Americans are worried about the quality of their water (up from 34% in 2021).
- Water treated at the plant gets recontaminated on its way to you: ageing infrastructure, main breaks, pressure drops.
- The chlorine added to compensate creates concerning compounds of its own (THMs and HAAs: chlorination by-products).
- Consumers are better informed than ever and want proof, not promises.
- Current solutions force a compromise: disposable filters (plastic waste), bulky and complex systems, or dated designs.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my faucet?
Oreka fits most pull-down faucets: it screws on in place of your current spray head, using the nine included adapters (G 1/2 (Ø 20.5 mm), G 1/2 male (two models), 5/8-18 UNF, 11/16 in (Ø 17.1 mm), 5/8-24 (Ø 15.5 mm), 5/8-16 UN (Ø 15.3 mm), Ø 16.4 mm and Ø 14 mm).
It does not fit fixed-spout faucets; in that case, the complete Oreka faucet set is the answer. Not sure which adapter you need? Email a photo of your faucet and its unscrewed spray head to contact@orekatech.ca and we’ll confirm the right adapter before you buy.
How often do I change the cartridge?
About every 4 months or 500 L. The device tells you based on actual use, not a simple timer. Standard and power jet modes bypass the cartridge: the more you use them for dishes and rinsing, the longer it lasts.
Do I need to replace my faucet?
Only if it doesn't have a pull-down head. The spray head alone ($149) screws onto a pull-down faucet with the included adapters; otherwise, the complete faucet ($375) ensures compatibility. Both offers come in black, chrome or brushed nickel.
How much is a replacement cartridge?
$30. The device lets you know when it's time to replace it.
What is certified?
The activated carbon fibre filtration is certified to NSF 53 and NSF 42 for the reduction of chlorine, lead and PFAS.
When will I receive my Oreka?
Deliveries are planned for April 2027. We'll keep you updated by email at every stage of production.
How does La Ruche work?
La Ruche is a Québec crowdfunding platform. You pre-order during the campaign; if the goal is reached, production starts and you receive your product. If not, you're refunded.
