BIO 1000 Black 10 Litre Bench Top Water Filter
For anyone who's just moved in
Just moved in? You have no idea what's been in these pipes.
New place, fresh start, and one thing you can't see: the plumbing. Old lead or copper, or a brand new estate near an industrial or airport PFAS zone. The good news for renters and owners alike is you don't need a plumber, or your landlord's permission, to fix it. It sits on the bench, and it moves with you.

The move-in checklist
You set up everything on day one. Except one thing.
Boxes barely unpacked and you've already sorted the essentials. Here's how the list usually looks.

?Whatever's in these tapsUnchecked
You changed the locks on day one. You have no idea what's been running through the pipes for the last thirty years.
The one thing the inspection didn't cover
You inherited these pipes. Not their history.
A building inspection checks the structure, not what the water picks up on its way to your glass. Whether it's an old place or a brand new one, the taps are a question mark until you do something about them.
- Older homes can have lead or copper pipes and fittings, which can leach into the water sitting in them overnight.
- Brand new estates aren't automatically safe, some sit near industrial or airport zones where PFAS has moved into the local water.
- PFAS and microplastics aren't things council treatment is required to remove, wherever your new place is.
- You've been drinking it since day one, making tea and filling the kettle, without ever seeing what's in it.
🔑
You wouldn't move in without changing the locks. The water deserves the same once-over.
And unlike the plumbing, this is one thing you can actually take control of yourself.
The part that changes everything
No plumber. No landlord. No bond on the line.
This is why it works whether you own or rent. There's nothing to install into the wall or the pipes, so there's nothing to ask permission for and nothing to undo when you leave.
- No plumber and no drilling, it simply sits on the kitchen bench.
- No landlord permission needed, because you're not touching the property's plumbing.
- No bond risk, nothing is modified, so there's nothing to make good at the end of a lease.
- It comes with you, pack it into a box and set it up in the next place in minutes.
📦
It's an appliance you own, not a fixture you install.
So it's the rare home upgrade that a renter gets to keep, and take to the next place.
The options that don't suit a rental
Plumbed-in systems and bottled water both miss.
- Plumbed-in filters need a plumber, landlord sign-off and undoing when you leave, not an option for most renters.
- Bottled water is a rolling cost, a pile of plastic, and one more thing to lug up the stairs every week.
- Doing nothing just means drinking a mystery for as long as you live there.
💡
What a mover actually needs is filtration that installs itself and leaves no trace.
Sits on the bench, filters properly, and packs down when the lease is up.
The Waters Co difference
Clean water in the new place by tonight.
The BIO 1000 runs your tap water through 15 stages to remove up to 99% of PFAS along with lead, microplastics, chlorine and more, then re-mineralises it and holds it in a hand-blown glass reservoir. It's gravity-fed, so it needs no power and no plumbing, which is exactly what makes it the mover's filter.
- Up to 99% PFAS removal, plus lead, microplastics, chlorine & bacteria in one pass.
- Zero installation, no plumber, no power point, no holes in anything.
- Glass reservoir, BPA-free build, re-mineralised water that isn't stripped flat.
- Boxes back up in minutes, so it moves to the next place as easily as it arrived.
15 stages of sterilising, filtration and mineral activation, held in glass.

"We rent, so a plumbed-in filter was never an option. This just sits on the bench, no permission needed, and when our lease ends it comes with us. The water in this old place tasted off until we got it."

★★★★★
"Bought a place built in the 60s and started wondering about the pipes. Didn't want to commit to anything plumbed in straight away, so this was perfect. Set it up the first night, sorted."

★★★★★
"This is my third rental with it now. It's one of the first things I unbox because it makes a new place feel like home. No drilling, no bond drama, just clean water wherever I land."

Straight answers
The questions movers and renters ask us.
Do I need a plumber or my landlord's permission?
Neither. The BIO 1000 is a bench-top unit that runs on gravity, so nothing connects to the plumbing or the wall. There's nothing to install, nothing to ask permission for, and nothing to undo when your lease ends.
Is my bond at risk if I use it?
No. Because nothing is drilled, plumbed or modified, there's nothing to make good at the end of a tenancy. It's an appliance you own, like a kettle or a toaster, not a fixture attached to the property.
Can I take it with me when I move again?
Yes, that's one of the best parts. It packs back into a box and sets up in the next place in minutes, and one filter set lasts up to 4 years, so it follows you across moves.
My place is brand new. Do I still need it?
Possibly. New pipes don't guarantee clean water, some newer estates sit near industrial or airport zones where PFAS has moved into the local supply, and council treatment isn't required to remove PFAS or microplastics anywhere. If you want to know for certain, you can have your water tested.
How fast can I have it running?
Fast. It assembles by hand in a couple of minutes, then you just fill the top with tap water and gravity does the rest. Most people have clean water pouring the same day it arrives.
