Across our beautiful country, with breathtaking landscapes and diverse communities, one thing that unites us is the need for clean, safe drinking water.
Although over 90% of Australian households are connected to a mains water supply, the quality can vary, and we are often asked, “Is filtered water really healthier than tap water?”
Water is more than just a thirst quencher
Water is the elixir of life, vital for our well-being and functioning.
It’s not just about quenching our thirst – proper hydration is the cornerstone of good health.
From regulating our body temperature to supporting good organ function, water plays a crucial role in keeping our bodies in top condition.
What’s in our water?
Our household water supply is not immune to contaminants.
Weather events, ageing pipework and industrial activity can all affect the quality of water flowing from our taps, as can chemicals added by the Water Corporation, who regulate water quality.
Common contaminants include sediments, chlorine, heavy metals and even traces of pesticides and viruses.
Fresh rivers, dams and rainwater may not be as clean as we assume by the time it reaches our homes.
The Under Sink Water Revolution
Enter under-sink water filtration systems – a game changer in the pursuit of clean, healthy drinking water.
Twin filter and reverse osmosis filtration systems are designed to purify tap water by removing impurities and contaminants. Twin filters use sediment and carbon filters to remove dirt, unwanted chemicals and pesticides.
Reverse osmosis systems have an additional semi-permeable membrane which filters out up to 99% of all impurities, chlorine, calcium, bacteria, viruses, chemicals and harmful bacteria and are popular in regional areas where water quality can fluctuate.
A matter of taste
Under-sink filter systems allow you to use a combination of specialist water filters to add healthy minerals, maintain a balanced pH level for overall well-being and improve the taste of your tap water.
Bottled water vs. under-sink water filter
Bottled water may be convenient, but it is expensive, and the effect of plastic waste on our environment is well-documented.
Mains-fed water filter systems provide a consistent and reliable source of clean water without harming the environment, and there’s no heavy plastic water bottles to shop for and carry home every week.
When comparing costs, you may be surprised at how the initial investment in an under-sink filter system compares to the ongoing costs of buying bottled drinking water.
Keep drinking and stay hydrated
Most of us don’t drink enough water each day.
Try to drink more water and encourage family members and teammates to do the same.
Staying hydrated and drinking plenty of clean, fresh water is vital for our health and well-being.
Having unlimited pure drinking water on tap is the easiest way to consume the amount of water our bodies need daily.
