Water Filter and Cooler Combos: The Health Benefits Explained
June 12, 20202 min read
A water filter and cooler combination gives you the best of both worlds — filtered, clean drinking water and the convenience of hot and cold on demand. Here’s why it’s one of the most practical upgrades for an Australian home or office.
Our Awesome Water Coolers use a BPA-free bottle with a built-in 8-stage KDF filter cartridge. Water passes through all 8 stages — removing chlorine, heavy metals, sediment, and bacteria — before reaching the hot or cold tap. The mineral stone stages add beneficial calcium and magnesium back into the water and raise the pH to a mildly alkaline level.
This means you’re getting genuinely filtered water, not just chilled tap water.
Health Benefits of Filtered Cooler Water
No chlorine taste or smell — filtered water tastes noticeably better, which encourages people (especially children) to drink more
Heavy metal removal — KDF media removes lead, mercury, and copper that can leach from older pipes
Bacteria reduction — the ceramic stage removes bacteria and protozoa
Mineral-rich water — beneficial minerals are retained and enhanced through the mineral stone stages
Instant hot water — filtered hot water for tea and coffee without a kettle; no need to boil unfiltered tap water
How often do I replace the filter in a water cooler?
Every 6–12 months depending on usage and water quality. Browse our replacement cartridge range for compatible options.
Is a filtered water cooler better than bottled water?
Yes — filtered cooler water costs a fraction of a cent per litre vs $1–3+ for bottled water, and produces no plastic waste. A household spending $30–50/week on bottled water will typically recoup the cost of a cooler within a few months.
Can I use a water cooler if I’m renting?
Yes — bottle-fed benchtop and freestanding models require no plumbing. Call us on 1800 789 781 for a recommendation.
