For low-tox households
You buy organic. You read every label. Then you drink unfiltered tap water.
You've low-toxed the whole house, one careful swap at a time. But the thing your family drinks more of than anything else, tap water, is the one input you never got to. And it's the one thing in your kitchen that doesn't come with an ingredient label.
The swaps you've already made
You've made every low-tox swap but one.
You're the one who researches, buys and quietly upgrades everything for the household. Look how much you've already changed.
Your low-tox list
- Organic & seasonal food
- Clean skincare & make-up
- Non-toxic cleaning products
- Glass & stainless storage
- Aluminium-free deodorant
- Low-tox candles & fragrance
- Read every ingredient label
- Swapped the non-stick pans
You swapped the containers, the cleaners, the candles. The thing your family drinks most stayed exactly the same.
The one input with no label
You can't read what's in your tap water. That's the problem.
Every other product in your kitchen tells you what's in it. Tap water doesn't, and what it carries is exactly the sort of thing you've spent years reading labels to avoid.
- PFAS ("forever chemicals") build up in the body over years, and council water isn't required to remove them.
- Microplastics carry hormone-disrupting compounds like BPA and phthalates, and have now been detected in human blood.
- Chlorine, fluoride and heavy metals including lead from older plumbing are routinely present in treated tap water.
- There's no ingredient panel. You'd never buy a food with these listed, but the family drinks them daily without a second look.
Council water is treated to be safe, and for most of us it's fine. What it isn't required to remove is PFAS, microplastics or lead.
For a household that reads every other label, the unlabelled one is worth a look.
Before you reach for the obvious answer
Bottled water and jug filters aren't the low-tox fix.
- Bottled water is one of the biggest sources of microplastics, plus a mountain of plastic waste. The opposite of low-tox.
- Plastic jug filters improve taste, but you're drinking water that's sat inside plastic, which can shed the very microplastics you're avoiding.
- Boiling handles bacteria, but does nothing to forever chemicals, lead or microplastics.
If you've moved the whole kitchen to glass and stainless, your water filter should follow.
Swapping a plastic jug for another plastic jug isn't a low-tox upgrade, it's just a new label on the same problem.
The Waters Co difference
The low-tox swap sized for the whole family.
The BIO 1000 holds 10 litres, enough for a household drinking and cooking all day. It runs your tap water through 15 stages to remove 99% of PFAS along with microplastics, lead, chlorine and more, then holds it in a hand-blown glass reservoir with a BPA-free build. Filtered, re-mineralised water everyone drinks from, with no plastic in the middle.
- 99% removal of PFAS, plus microplastics, lead, fluoride, chlorine & bacteria in one pass.
- Hand-blown glass reservoir, BPA / BPB / BPS-free build, a filter that's low-tox itself.
- Adds 60+ trace minerals back, so the water enriches rather than just strips.
- One 10L filter for the whole household, the same clean source for you, your partner and the kids.
15 stages of sterilising, filtration and mineral activation, held in glass.
What comes out
The label your tap water never gave you.
PFAS forever chemicals
Build up over years. Council water isn't required to remove them.
Microplastics
Carriers of BPA and phthalates, now found in blood.
Lead & heavy metals
Can leach from older pipes and fittings.
Glass reservoir
BPA / BPB / BPS-free. No plastic in the family's water.
Chlorine & fluoride
Added at the treatment plant, filtered back out at your bench.
Minerals added back
Bio-organic trace minerals your water is usually missing.
The maths the household buyer will like
One swap that covers everyone.
Most low-tox upgrades are per-person and repeat forever. This one is a single change that quietly serves the whole household for years.
Enough for drinking and cooking all day.
Over the filter's life. Bottled water can't come close.
One set covers roughly 12,000 litres.
You buy for four or more, so this is one swap that lands across the whole family at once.
And with the kids drinking better-tasting water, most families find they reach for it more.
No plumber, no project
On the bench in minutes. No plumbing, no power.
Sit it on your kitchen bench
Three pieces, assembled by hand in a couple of minutes. It's gravity-fed and just 7kg, with no drilling, no electrician, no cupboard rearranging.
Fill the top with tap water
Gravity draws it down through all 15 stages into the glass reservoir. Keep it topped up so there's always filtered water on hand for the whole house.
Pour, and cross it off the list
One filter set lasts up to 4 years, quietly doing its job while you get on with running everything else.
Glass, not plastic
BPA / BPB / BPS-free build.
Lasts up to 4 years
12,000L filter life, ~3c a litre.

From low-tox households already doing this
The swap they wish they'd made first.
"I'd low-toxed the entire house, cleaning products, skincare, candles, then realised the thing we all drink most had never been touched. It was the obvious missing swap. The whole family drinks from it now."
"As the one who buys everything for our family's health, this was the easiest call I've made. One filter for the four of us, no more bottled water, and I finally know what isn't in the water anymore."
"My naturopath had mentioned water for ages. The glass reservoir sold me, I wasn't about to swap to another plastic jug. The kids drink so much more water now too."
Honest answers
The questions low-tox mums ask us.
Isn't our tap water already fine?
It's treated to be safe for most people, and that's true. What council treatment isn't required to remove is PFAS, microplastics, chlorine byproducts and lead from older plumbing. If you're reading the label on everything else in the house, this is the one input that never gave you a label to read.
Why the benchtop and not a jug?
Two reasons. Volume: the 10L reservoir suits a whole family drinking and cooking all day, rather than refilling a small jug. And materials: it uses a glass reservoir with a BPA-free build, so you're not filtering into plastic the way a standard jug does.
Is it actually worth it for a family, cost-wise?
Over the filter's life it works out around 3 cents per litre, and one set lasts up to 4 years. For a household, that replaces a lot of bottled water and repeat purchases with a single upgrade.
Does it strip out the good minerals?
No, and this is a real point of difference. Rather than stripping the water bare like some systems, the BIO 1000 re-mineralises it, adding back 60+ bio-organic trace minerals so your water enriches rather than just cleans.
Is it hard to maintain around a busy household?
Not at all. It sits on the bench, runs on gravity with no plumbing or power, and the only upkeep is topping it up and changing the filter set, which lasts years rather than months.
