BIO 1000 Black 10 Litre Bench Top Water Filter
For expecting mums
You cut the wine, the sushi and the soft cheese. You didn't cut the tap water.
From the day you conceived, your baby drinks everything you drink. And the two things Australian tap water isn't required to remove, PFAS "forever chemicals" and microplastics, are the two things researchers keep finding on the baby's side of the placenta.

It's the one thing on the list you drink two litres of, every single day of your pregnancy.
What's actually crossing over
The placenta filters a lot. It can't filter these.
Your placenta is an incredible barrier, but it was never built for chemicals that didn't exist a century ago. PFAS and microplastics slip straight through, and unlike a glass of wine, tap water is something you're told to drink more of while you're pregnant.
- PFAS ("forever chemicals") have been measured in umbilical-cord blood, meaning they reach the baby before birth.
- Microplastics have now been found in human placentas and in breast milk by researchers around the world.
- They don't leave. Forever chemicals are named that for a reason: the body has no easy way to break them down.
- Standard tap water isn't tested to remove them. Council water is treated for bugs, not for PFAS or plastic.
🧪
Even the official guidance flags "developmental effects in infants and children" as a concern with these contaminants.
You can't control the air, the packaging or the soil. You can control the water you fill your glass with tonight.
Before you reach for the obvious answer
Bottled water and jug filters feel safe. They're not the fix.
- Bottled water is one of the most plastic-exposed drinks there is. Studies have found hundreds of thousands of plastic particles per litre in popular bottled brands.
- Supermarket jug filters mostly improve taste and chlorine. Most don't touch PFAS, fluoride or heavy metals at all.
- Boiling kills bacteria, but it does nothing to forever chemicals or microplastics, and if anything it concentrates them.
💡
The problem was never that you didn't care. It's that the easy options weren't built for this.
Removing PFAS and microplastics takes real, multi-stage filtration, not a plastic jug.
The Waters Co difference
One bench-top filter. The exposure you can finally switch off.
The BIO 1000 runs your tap water through 15 stages of filtration, engineered to strip out 99% of the contaminants a jug leaves behind, then gently re-mineralise what's left. So you're not just removing the bad; you're pouring water your body (and your baby's) actually thrives on.
- 99% removal of PFAS, the forever chemicals cord-blood studies keep detecting.
- Filters microplastics, chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals & bacteria in one pass.
- Adds 60+ trace minerals back, so your water enriches rather than just strips.
- Naturally alkaline pH 7.6–8.5, smooth and easy to drink through the nausea weeks.
15 stages of sterilising, filtration and mineral activation, inside every BIO 1000.

From mums already doing this
The peace of mind is the part they talk about.
★★★★★
"I got it in my second trimester after reading about forever chemicals. It was honestly the one pregnancy worry I could actually do something about. The water tastes incredible and it's the easiest thing to use."
Emma L.
★★★★★
"We stopped buying bottled water the day it arrived. Knowing the microplastics are being filtered out, for me and now for the baby's bottles, is worth every cent. Wish we'd bought it sooner."
Priya S.
★★★★★
"My midwife kept telling me to drink more water and I kept thinking about what was in it. This solved it. It sits on the bench, the kids drink from it too, and I don't think about it anymore."

Honest answers
The questions expecting mums ask us.
Is filtered water actually better for me while I'm pregnant?
Staying well hydrated matters enormously in pregnancy, and the goal is simply to make sure the water you're drinking more of isn't carrying PFAS or microplastics with it. The BIO 1000 removes those contaminants and adds trace minerals back, so you can hit your hydration goals with cleaner water. For anything specific to your pregnancy, your midwife or GP is always the best person to ask.
Do I really need this, or is Australian tap water fine?
Australian tap water is treated to a high standard for bacteria and safety. What it isn't required to remove is PFAS and microplastics, the two contaminants of most concern to parents right now. If those are on your mind, a 15-stage filter is how you take them off the table.
Does it remove the good minerals too?
No, and this is the part that sets it apart. Rather than stripping your 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 install with everything else going on?
Not at all. It sits on your bench, assembles in a few minutes, and runs on gravity, with no plumber, no electrician, no power point. Fill the top, and it does the rest.
Will it still be useful after the baby arrives?
Very much so. One filter set lasts up to 4 years, so the same unit cleans the water for your bottles, your toddler's cups and the whole family long after pregnancy.
