This collection brings together all of our 8-stage KDF cartridges and value bundles – from a single replacement filter through to a full 3-year supply. Whether you run a busy office cooler or a family benchtop purifier, this is where you’ll find the right Awesome Water 8-stage filter pack to keep your water tasting clean, fresh and alkaline.

Why choose Awesome Water 8-stage KDF filters?

These filters are designed specifically for Awesome Water coolers and compatible gravity-fed benchtop systems, using a proven 8-stage process to polish your tap water.

Using KDF (a specialised copper–zinc redox media) together with activated carbon and mineral stages, our filters are designed to:

• Help reduce chlorine and its strong taste and odour.
• Reduce heavy metals such as lead and mercury.
• Filter sediment, rust and other visible particles.
• Improve taste and smell for smoother, more enjoyable drinking water.
• Add beneficial minerals and support alkaline water.
• Work with BPA-free, food-grade components.

Australian tap water must already meet strict safety standards under the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines, but many people still dislike the taste of chlorine and want an extra layer of protection at the point of use. Awesome Water 8-stage KDF filters are designed to complement the work your local water authority already does – not replace it – by further improving taste, odour and reducing additional impurities in your glass.

Which 8-stage filter pack is right for you?

All Awesome Water 8-stage filters in this collection are designed to be replaced approximately every six months, depending on water quality and usage. That makes it easy to map each pack to real-world time:

• 6x Ultimate Pack 8 Stage Water Filters | Good for 3 Years!

• 4 Pieces Awesome Water Filters 8 Stage

• 3 Pieces Awesome Water Filters 8 Stage
Great for couples, share houses or smaller workplaces. Three filters will generally last around 18 months with typical use, giving you reliable, great-tasting water without overbuying.

• 2 Pieces 8 Stage Water Filters
A simple one-year pack for households that want to stay on top of cartridge changes without keeping too much stock on hand. Ideal if you’re just starting with Awesome Water and want to test how quickly you go through filters.

• 8 Stage Water Filters (Single)
The go-to replacement for existing Awesome Water cooler and benchtop purifier owners who are due for a six-month cartridge change. Also perfect if you’re just trialling Awesome Water for the first time.

If you’re buying filters for a benchtop system, you can also explore our Benchtop Alkaline Water Filter 20L dispensers with ceramic or plastic dome options.

How the 8-stage KDF system works

Each Awesome Water 8-stage KDF filter uses multiple layers to clean and condition your tap water step by step:

• Sediment pre-filtration – felt pads help catch rust, dirt and other visible particles.
• KDF media – specialised copper–zinc granules use a redox (oxidation–reduction) process to help reduce chlorine, heavy metals and certain dissolved contaminants.
• Activated carbon – adsorbs chlorine by-products, organic compounds and many of the tastes and odours people dislike in tap water.
• Mineral and alkaline media – mineral balls and stones add beneficial trace minerals and support alkaline water.
• Final polishing – additional media help refine taste before water enters your storage tank.

This style of copper–zinc filtration is widely used in water treatment to help reduce chlorine and heavy metals and to inhibit the growth of some bacteria and algae, especially when combined with activated carbon and other media as in an 8-stage system.

Genuine Awesome Water filters vs generic 8-stage copies

There are many low-cost 8-stage filters on marketplaces, but they’re not all created equal. By choosing genuine Awesome Water 8 Stage KDF Water Filters, you get:

• Transparent, gravity-fed design that lets you see the stages doing their job.

FAQs: Awesome Water 8-stage KDF water filters

How often should I replace my 8-stage KDF water filter?

Most Awesome Water 8-stage filters are designed to be replaced roughly every six months for typical household or office use. This helps keep the KDF, carbon and mineral media working effectively and maintains great-tasting water. Heavy use or very poor incoming water quality may mean you need to replace a little sooner.

For more detail on filter lifespans, you can also refer to the 8 Stage Water Filters product page.

Will these filters fit my Awesome Water cooler or benchtop purifier?

These genuine Awesome Water 8-stage KDF filters are designed for Awesome Water benchtop purifiers and compatible refillable coolers that use the standard 8-stage bottle-style cartridge. If you’re unsure which cartridge you need, check your original filter, visit our Replacement Water Filter Cartridges guide, or contact our team via the Personalised Water Filter Order & Invoice Assistance link in the site menu.

What does KDF actually do in the filter?

KDF is a high-purity copper–zinc media that uses a redox process to help reduce chlorine, heavy metals and some other dissolved contaminants. It also has bacteriostatic properties, meaning it can help inhibit the growth of certain bacteria and algae inside the filter. In an 8-stage cartridge, KDF works together with carbon and mineral stages to further improve taste and odour while providing additional impurity reduction.

Do these 8-stage filters remove fluoride?

Awesome Water 8-stage filters are designed to reduce fluoride and heavy metals along with chlorine and sediment, as described on the 8 Stage Water Filters product page. Actual performance will depend on your water quality, flow rate and replacement frequency. For maximum fluoride reduction, many customers also pair their 8-stage system with compatible fluoride-reduction domes from the Awesome Water range.

Is my tap water safe to drink without a filter?

Across Australia, tap water is treated and tested to meet the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines. However, many people choose to add point-of-use filtration to improve taste, reduce chlorine and address specific household preferences. Awesome Water 8-stage KDF filters are designed to complement, not replace, the work your local water authority does. For official safety information, you should always refer to the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines and your local utility’s reports. You can start with the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines overview.

How do I know which pack size (single, 2x, 3x, 4x, 6x) to choose?

As a simple rule of thumb, each 8-stage filter is roughly a six-month supply for typical use. That means:
• Single: about 6 months.
• 2x: about 12 months.
• 3x: about 18 months.
• 4x: about 24 months.
• 6x: about 36 months.

If you run a busy cooler in an office or large household, you’ll get the best convenience (and usually the best per-filter price) from the 4x or 6x packs. Smaller families or first-time users often start with a 2x or 3x bundle to see what replacement rhythm suits them.
