The importance of water filtration

Water filtration has a range of benefits both for the environment and for you. There is a common misconception that bottled water is safer and more pure than filtered tap water. This misconception has helped bottled water usage skyrocket.

Water bottles are a massive contributing factor to the global issue that is plastic waste. By continuing to purchase bottled water fossil fuels and unsustainable energy practices continue to be used in their manufacturing. Water filters by design, reduce waste as they give you a reliable source of clean and purified water in the home.

In Australia, unfortunately, only 30% of the bottles produced yearly are recycled. The extra find their way into landfills and our waterways. By investing in a water filter you can help cut down on the mass production of plastic bottles.

Steering clear of plastic bottles also minimises ingesting plastic chemicals like BPA, which can seep into the water. BPA exposure can be particularly harmful to children and babies.

There are phenomenal cost savings in giving up plastic bottles in favour of filtered water at home. You can save $1 per litre from plastic bottles to 1¢ per litre by using a water filter. Not only is the water filter easy to access, but the removal of the smell, bad taste, and chlorine from standard tap water are also benefits of buying a filter.
