For the optimisation crowd
You optimise everything you put in your body. Except the thing you drink most.
Sleep, training, supplements, bloodwork, all dialled in. Then you pour two or three litres a day of tap water carrying PFAS and microplastics, contaminants that bioaccumulate over decades. Your longevity stack has a leak, and it's the highest-volume input you never touched.
The protocol you already run
Your stack is dialled in. One input is still on default.
You measure, dose and iterate on everything. Look at what you've already optimised.
Your stack
- Sleep & circadian light
- Zone 2 & VO₂ max
- Sauna & cold exposure
- Creatine & protein targets
- Omega-3 & magnesium
- Bloodwork & biomarkers
- HRV & recovery tracking
- Nailed the supplement stack
You track HRV to two decimal places, then drink the single highest-volume input in your day straight off the tap, unmeasured.
The highest-leverage input you skipped
You consume more water than any supplement. By a distance.
Longevity is a long game about lowering lifetime load. Which makes the two or three litres you drink daily, and what rides along in it, one of the most leveraged inputs you can clean up.
- PFAS ("forever chemicals") bioaccumulate for years. In a game measured in decades, your baseline load compounds.
- Microplastics have now been detected in human blood and even in arterial plaque, and boiling doesn't remove them.
- Tap water isn't tested to remove either. Council treatment targets safety and bacteria, not PFAS or plastic.
- It's the input you never measured. You optimise the 5-gram doses and ignore the 3-litre one.
Every other input in your stack has a spec. Your water has whatever came out of the tap.
Cleaning it up is one of the rare upgrades that's both high-leverage and near-zero ongoing effort.
Why the obvious answers underdeliver
Bottled, jug and even RO all miss.
- Bottled "spring" water is one of the largest sources of microplastics there is. You're paying a premium for plastic-exposed water.
- Jug filters mostly handle taste and chlorine, and you're drinking from plastic that can shed microplastics back in.
- Reverse osmosis strips the contaminants, but also strips the minerals, leaving flat, demineralised water, plus a tank, waste water and plumbing.
The spec you actually want: remove the load, keep the minerals.
Contaminants out, trace minerals and a mild alkaline pH left in. That's the target, and it's not what a jug or an RO tank gives you.
The Waters Co difference
Removes the load. Keeps the minerals.
The BIO 1000 runs tap water through 15 stages to remove up to 99% of PFAS along with microplastics, heavy metals and chlorine, then re-mineralises it with 60+ bio-organic trace minerals at a naturally mild alkaline pH. Unlike reverse osmosis, you don't get flat, stripped water. And it's held in a hand-blown glass reservoir, so no plastic touches the output.
- Up to 99% PFAS removal, plus microplastics, lead, fluoride, chlorine & bacteria.
- Re-mineralised, not stripped, 60+ trace minerals at pH 7.6 to 8.5, no RO deadness.
- Glass reservoir, BPA / BPB / BPS-free build, no plastic in contact with your water.
- No tank, no plumbing, no power, gravity-fed and effectively zero maintenance overhead.
15 stages of sterilising, filtration and mineral activation, held in glass.

PFAS removal
The forever chemicals that bioaccumulate over decades.
Filtration stages
Sterilising, filtration and mineral activation in one pass.
Microplastics & metals
Detected in blood and plaque. Filtered out here.
Trace minerals
Re-mineralised, not stripped like RO water.
pH up to 7.6–8.5
Naturally mild alkaline. No additives, no gimmicks.
Glass reservoir
BPA / BPB / BPS-free. No plastic on the output.
The leverage
High leverage. Near-zero upkeep.
Most of your stack demands daily effort and repeat spend. This one is a single change that upgrades every glass you drink for years.
Your highest-volume input, now on spec.
Over the filter's life. A rounding error in any stack.
Roughly 12,000L before a change.
Zero friction, by design
On the bench in minutes. No plumbing, no power.
Set it on the bench
Three pieces, assembled by hand in a couple of minutes. Gravity-fed and just 7kg, with no drilling, no electrician, no tank under the sink.
Fill the top with tap water
Gravity pulls it through all 15 stages into the glass reservoir. Nothing to plug in, nothing to monitor.
Set and forget
One filter set runs up to 4 years. Roughly the lowest ongoing effort of anything in your protocol.
Glass, not plastic
BPA / BPB / BPS-free build.
Lasts up to 4 years
12,000L filter life, ~3c a litre.

From people who track everything
The upgrade they were annoyed they'd missed.
"I test bloods, track HRV, dial in every input, and water was the one I'd never touched. Which is embarrassing given it's what I consume most. Removes the load and keeps the minerals. Exactly the spec I wanted, no RO flatness."
"Was drinking bottled 'spring' water thinking I was optimising, then read what's actually in bottled water. Switched to this. Glass reservoir, re-mineralised, 99% PFAS removal. Finally a known spec instead of guesswork."
"Lowest-friction upgrade in my whole protocol. Sits on the bench, no plumbing, the filter lasts years. Genuinely set and forget, which almost nothing in this space is."
Straight answers
The questions optimisers ask us.
Isn't reverse osmosis the gold standard?
RO removes contaminants, but it also strips the minerals, leaving flat, demineralised water, plus it needs a tank, produces waste water and usually plumbing. The BIO 1000 removes up to 99% of PFAS, microplastics and heavy metals, then re-mineralises with 60+ trace minerals. You get the removal without the deadness or the install.
Does it actually remove PFAS and microplastics, or just improve taste?
Both. The 15-stage system is built to remove up to 99% of PFAS along with microplastics, lead and more, and Waters Co backs its removal figures with independent lab testing. Taste is the by-product, not the point.
Why not just drink bottled spring water?
Bottled water is one of the largest sources of microplastics measured, and you're paying a premium for plastic-exposed water with no consistent spec. Filtering your own gives you a known output at roughly 3 cents a litre.
Is the alkaline pH claim legitimate?
The water sits naturally at a mild alkaline pH of 7.6 to 8.5 after mineralisation, with no additives or ionising gimmicks. If you prefer mineral-rich, mildly alkaline water, that's the profile you get. We won't stretch it into health claims beyond that.
What's the actual maintenance overhead?
Minimal. It's gravity-fed with no power or plumbing. You top it up, and swap the filter set roughly every few years, up to 12,000 litres. About as low-friction as an input gets.
Your purchase is 100% protected
Waters Co has led gravity-fed water filtration for over 40 years, and its removal figures are backed by independent lab testing, with certifications including NSF, ISO and the Water Quality Association. Your BIO 1000 ships free Australia-wide and holds your water in glass, not plastic. You're not adding another gadget, you're closing the last gap in your stack.
The last gap in the stack
You've optimised everything else. Optimise the input you drink most.
Contaminants out, minerals in, held in glass, on your bench, running for the next four years. The highest-leverage, lowest-effort upgrade left on your list.
