Filtered Water Dispenser for Home: 10 Benefits Worth Knowing
May 05, 20192 min read
A filtered water dispenser for your home gives your family access to clean, great-tasting water on demand — without the cost or waste of bottled water. Here are 10 genuine benefits.
Chlorine is added to Australian town water as a disinfectant. It’s effective but gives water a distinct taste and smell. Activated carbon filtration removes chlorine and immediately improves taste.
2. Removes Heavy Metals
Lead, mercury, and copper can leach from older pipes and plumbing fittings. KDF media in our 8-stage KDF filters removes these heavy metals. Reducing lead exposure is particularly important for households with young children.
3. Saves Money vs Bottled Water
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 dispenser within a few months.
4. Reduces Plastic Waste
A filtered water dispenser eliminates the need for single-use plastic water bottles, significantly reducing your household’s plastic waste and carbon footprint.
5. Instant Hot and Cold Water
No waiting for the kettle. Filtered hot water at 92°C for tea and coffee; chilled water at 4°C on demand. A genuine time-saver for busy households.
6. Preserves Water Quality
Removing contaminants means the water stays fresher for longer. Filtered water doesn’t develop the off-tastes that unfiltered water can over time.
7. Removes Bacteria
The ceramic stage in our 8-stage systems removes bacteria and protozoa — providing an additional layer of protection beyond standard tap water treatment.
8. Better-Tasting Food and Beverages
Cooking with filtered water improves the taste of food, coffee, and tea — particularly noticeable in areas with heavily chlorinated water.
9. Encourages Better Hydration
Better-tasting water means people drink more of it. Adequate hydration supports energy levels, concentration, digestion, and kidney function — particularly important for children.
10. Child-Safe Design
All our dispensers include a child-safe hot tap lock to prevent accidental burns. Safe for families with young children.
