For high-volume hydrators
You drink 4 litres a day. What's actually in it?
Hydration is the right instinct. But here's the catch nobody mentions: the more water you drink, the more of what's in it you consume. On 4 litres a day you're taking in roughly double the PFAS and microplastics of an average person. Hydration is only healthy if the water is clean.
The inputs you already track
Everything's dialled in. One input scales with volume.
You measure your macros, your sleep, your sessions. Look at how much you already control.
Your daily inputs
- Train 5 to 6 times a week
- Hit your protein target
- Electrolytes dialled in
- 3 to 4 litres of water a day
- Sleep 8 hours
- 10k steps
- Creatine daily
- Recovery on point
Here's the catch the other inputs don't have: the more of it you drink, the more of whatever's in it you get.
The multiplier nobody mentions
The more you drink, the more you consume.
Contaminant dose is just concentration times volume. So the person hitting their hydration harder than anyone is also, quietly, taking in more of whatever the tap is carrying. It's simple maths working against you.
Roughly double the average adult's intake.
Through your body, whatever's dissolved in it.
Twice the exposure of someone on 2 litres.
- PFAS ("forever chemicals") aren't removed by council treatment, and they build up in the body over time.
- Microplastics pass straight through, and have now been detected in human blood.
- Every extra litre adds to the tally. Great habit, wrong water, and the habit works against you.
The volume breaks the usual fixes
At 4 litres a day, bottled and jugs fall apart.
- Bottled water is one of the biggest microplastic sources there is, and at your volume it's a fortune in cash and a mountain of plastic.
- Jug filters are too slow and small to keep up with a 4-litre day, and you're drinking from plastic that can shed microplastics back in.
- Straight from the tap is free and convenient, but it's the exact water carrying the PFAS and metals you're now drinking litres of.
A high-volume habit needs a high-volume source of clean water, not a jug you're refilling all day.
That's exactly what a 10L bench-top system is built for.
The Waters Co difference
Clean water, by the litre, then re-mineralised.
The BIO 1000 holds 10 litres and runs your tap water through 15 stages to remove up to 99% of PFAS along with microplastics, heavy metals and chlorine, then adds 60+ trace minerals back at a mild alkaline pH. Fill your bottle straight from the reservoir before every session. For training away from home, Waters Co also makes the portable Waterman filter bottle.
- Up to 99% PFAS removal, plus microplastics, lead, fluoride, chlorine & bacteria.
- 10L capacity, built to keep up with a 3 to 4 litre a day habit.
- Re-mineralised, not stripped, 60+ trace minerals, so you're not drinking flat, empty water.
- Glass reservoir, BPA-free build, no plastic sitting in the water you drink most.
15 stages of sterilising, filtration and mineral activation, held in glass.
What comes out
What you're no longer drinking by the litre.
PFAS forever chemicals
Not removed by council treatment. Build up over time.
Microplastics
Pass straight through the tap. Now found in blood.
Lead & heavy metals
Can leach from older pipes and fittings.
Chlorine & fluoride
Added at the treatment plant, filtered back out.
Trace minerals added
Re-mineralised, not stripped like RO water.
Glass reservoir
BPA / BPB / BPS-free. No plastic on the water.
Fits straight into your routine
On the bench in minutes. Fill up before you train.
Set it on the bench
Three pieces, assembled by hand in a couple of minutes. Gravity-fed and just 7kg, with no drilling, no plumbing, no power.
Keep the reservoir topped up
10 litres of filtered, re-mineralised water ready to go, enough for a high-volume day without refilling a jug every hour.
Fill your bottle and go
Top up before every session. One filter set lasts up to 4 years, so your clean water just keeps coming.
10L capacity
Keeps up with high-volume days.
Lasts up to 4 years
12,000L filter life, ~3c a litre.
Free shipping
Fast delivery Australia-wide.
From people who train hard
The habit was right. The water finally caught up.
"I drink close to 5 litres on training days. Realising that meant double the exposure to whatever's in the tap flipped a switch for me. Fill my bottle from it every morning now, and the water actually tastes better."
"I was buying cartons of bottled water for the gym and it was costing a fortune, plus all that plastic. This paid for itself fast and the 10 litres easily keeps up with how much I drink."
"Coach always says hydration first. Nobody talks about what's in the water though. Removes the bad stuff and keeps the minerals, so it's not flat like the RO water at my old gym. Easy call."
Straight answers
The questions high-volume drinkers ask us.
Can a bench-top filter really keep up with 4 litres a day?
Yes. The BIO 1000 holds 10 litres in its reservoir, so there's filtered water ready to pour rather than a small jug you're constantly refilling. Keep it topped up and you've always got enough for a heavy training day, plus bottles to take with you.
Isn't bottled water fine for the gym?
Bottled water is one of the largest measured sources of microplastics, and at your volume it's expensive and a lot of plastic waste. Filtering your own and filling a reusable bottle gives you cleaner water at roughly 3 cents a litre.
Does it strip the minerals out like reverse osmosis?
No. RO strips everything and leaves flat, demineralised water. The BIO 1000 removes the contaminants, then re-mineralises with 60+ trace minerals at a mild alkaline pH, so you're drinking mineral-rich water, not empty water.
What about hydrating on the go?
Fill your bottle straight from the reservoir before you head out. For training away from home, Waters Co also makes a portable Waterman filter bottle, so you can filter on the move as well.
How much upkeep is it?
Very little. It runs on gravity with no power or plumbing. You keep it topped up and swap the filter set roughly every few years, up to 12,000 litres.
Your purchase is 100% protected
Waters Co has led gravity-fed water filtration for over 40 years, with independent lab testing behind its 99% removal claims. Your BIO 1000 ships free Australia-wide, holds 10 litres for high-volume days, and keeps your water in glass rather than plastic. You're not taking a risk, you're making the habit actually pay off.
Great habit, clean water
You already drink more water than most. Make every litre count.
Contaminants out, minerals in, 10 litres ready on the bench, and a bottle you fill before every session. The upgrade your hydration habit was missing.
