FAQs

Waters Co filters go beyond simple contaminant removal. Using multi-stage technology, including ceramics, activated carbon, bio-ceramics, magnets, and coral, they not only purify but also remineralise and alkalise water. This creates “living water” that hydrates more effectively than standard filtered water.

Yes. Independent laboratory testing shows Waters Co filters remove up to 99% of fluoride, as well as heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. They also reduce chlorine, pesticides, industrial chemicals, and microplastics.

No. Unlike reverse-osmosis systems that remove everything, Waters Co filters preserve and reintroduce beneficial trace minerals. The result is water that not only tastes better but also supports bone health, pH balance, and hydration at the cellular level.

Waters Co filters are designed for longevity. Depending on the system, filters can last up to 4 years with average household use. This means far fewer replacements than most pitcher or countertop brands, saving money and reducing waste.

Yes. Waters Co holds certifications from NSF International, ISO, CE, FDA, and the Water Quality Association, among others. They’ve also won global awards for quality and environmental stewardship, ensuring proven performance and trust.

Absolutely. Customers consistently report cleaner, fresher, and smoother-tasting water. By removing chlorine, pesticides, and organic contaminants, and adding back minerals, Waters Co water often tastes like natural spring water.

Waters Co filters are eco-friendly. With long filter life and BPA-free designs, they reduce plastic waste from bottled water and require fewer cartridge changes compared to other brands. They’re also non-electric, using natural processes instead of power.

No. When you calculate filter life, Waters Co water costs as little as 3 cents per litre, far cheaper than bottled water and many competing filtration systems that require frequent cartridge replacements.

Yes. Waters Co offers a range of portable options, including bottles and jugs, perfect for travel, work, or the gym. This makes it easy to enjoy clean, mineral-rich water anywhere.

Yes. By removing harmful toxins and enriching water with natural minerals, Waters Co supports better hydration, gut health, immune function, and overall wellbeing. Studies show that clean, mineral-balanced water is linked to lower risks of gastrointestinal illness and certain cancers.

    Bio 500 bench top water filter

    We love this water filter. We were wanting a healthier, cleaner water option rather than tap water. I looked at alot of other water filters & what stood out to me was the 13 levels of filtration that this unit offered, also, as we dont have a large kitchen, its size is perfect for our bench top. We have noticed we are drinking alot more water since we have had it, which is a good thing. Easy to assemble, looks stylish & the water is the best we’ve tasted…. just liking drinking from an alpine stream.

    Beautiful tasting waters

    We're so happy with our purchase. And so worth it knowing we are drinking clear and chemical free water, that also tastes so much better than what we have been drinking for years through the tap. Also it adds a lovely ambience to our kitchen.

    Lovely tasting water!

    I recently purchased the 5.25L Bio Water filter. I was pleased that the main water container is glass (having read/seen so much about microplastics in water in the news recently). I'm unsure if the filter removes any microplastics, so it would be good to see information or a study on that...

    It feels like a bit of IQ test putting it together, as the diagrams & names of the filter sections are quite generic, but keeping calm and thinking it through, I managed this without issue. It helped having previously put two different models of Bio filter jugs together, so I knew what to expect!

    The tap function on this model is easy to use and it seems useful that it swivels.

    I find that because the unit sits on the bench, I'm more likely to remember to drink water. Or have a glass as well, when I make myself a coffee!

    It's an elegant looking unit, and I'm happy to have an additional source of water stored for if the water ever shuts off (e.g. during road works or pipe upgrades, etc). And, of course, the filtered water tastes very nice.

    I had initially wanted to buy a bigger size unit, but there weren't any options available in stock. (Is there still new stock coming?) But I think that this 5L size works well for a home situation, without taking up too much space in a small kitchen.

    It's nice to have room temparature water for winter, and we have the filter jug in the fridge, more for summer use.

    I'm very happy with this purchase and the quick delivery and supporting comms, etc.

    Super happy

    This water filter is amazing!!! I was addicted to coke before buying it and purchased it without being able to really afford it (I thought). I have changed from drinking 90% of my daily fluids in cola, to pretty much 100% pure, amazingly tasting, virtually fluoride free water!! I couldn't be happier!! I'll have the filter paid off within a few months by the amount of money I'm saving on soft drinks. I feel so much happier and healthier!! I can't thank you enough!!
