Benefits of Drinking Filtered Water: Why It’s Worth It
April 07, 20222 min read
Filtered water is better-tasting, cleaner, and more cost-effective than bottled water. Here’s a practical look at the key benefits for Australian households and offices.
Filtered water costs a fraction of a cent per litre. A household spending $30–50/week on bottled water will typically recoup the cost of a quality filter within a few months. Our 8-stage KDF systems save up to 80% compared to bottled water over a year.
2. Cleaner and Safer Water
A quality multi-stage filter removes chlorine, heavy metals, sediment, and bacteria from your tap water. Australian tap water is safe to drink, but filtering removes residual contaminants and genuinely improves quality. Browse our replacement cartridge range to keep your filter performing.
3. Retains Beneficial Minerals
Unlike reverse osmosis or distillation, a multi-stage carbon/KDF filter retains beneficial minerals — calcium, magnesium, potassium — while removing contaminants. The mineral stone stages in our 8-stage systems actively add these minerals back into the water.
4. Eco-Friendly
Filtered water eliminates single-use plastic water bottles. Millions of plastic bottles end up in Australian landfill every year. Switching to a home filter is one of the simplest ways to reduce your household’s plastic waste.
5. Convenient
A filtered water cooler gives you instant hot and cold filtered water on demand — no waiting for the kettle, no lugging bottles from the supermarket. Available as benchtop or freestanding models with no plumbing required.
