Why you NEED to be filtering your drinking water..
Investing in a water filter, in my opinion is the number one thing you can do today to drastically improve the health and well-being of your family. Water is something we need to survive and something we consume every single day. So, the water we are drinking matters!
Did you know that up to 50 chemicals are added to Australia's water supplies for a variety of purification purposes. The most common of these chemicals are; Chlorine, Fluoride and Aluminium. In our tap water you’ll also find:
- Trihalomethanes (THMs)
- Arsenic, Radium, Copper, Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, and Barium
- Hormones and Pharmaceuticals
- Nitrates
- Pesticides
What happens to our bodies when we drink unfiltered water? Our body becomes the filter. Our liver tries to break down the toxins into more manageable substances, but if it gets overwhelmed it has to store the toxins in fat reserves. Our kidneys filter toxins out of the bloodstream to dump them as urine. Other toxins are dumped in bile, which our intestines filter. This unfortunately puts big pressure on our organs and makes them work overtime. However, all these organs fail to deal with heavy metals. Lead, mercury, copper, and iron will devastate our body’s filtration mechanisms and destroy our health.
The same way a filter pulls all of the toxins out of water passing through it and holds onto them, our body pulls toxins out of the water we drink and stores them away, where they accumulate over time until they start causing health problems.
Benefits of drinking filtered water:
- Tastes & smells better
- Helps the environment - less waste from plastic bottles
- Removes harmful contaminants - good systems remove 99% of contaminants
- Saves money - less money spent on bottled water
- Better health
- Reduced risk of disease/cancers
Many people choose to buy bottled water to avoid the harmful affects of consuming tap water but unfortunately bottled water often contains toxins from the plastic. BPA and other plastic toxins can then make their way into our bloodstream, which can cause a host of problems including various cancers, liver/kidney damage, developmental problems and fertility issues.
Bottled water is often depicted as being higher quality than tap water. Most advertisements show a fresh steam or mountain spring to trick you into thinking it's pristine water. The fact is that in many instances bottled water is just glorified tap water. While some manufacturers put their water through additional filtering before bottling it, many do not.
There are many studies now which have been conducted on the dangers of contaminants such as chlorine and fluoride in our drinking water. Diseases, cancers, neurological issues, behavioural problems, developmental delays, fertility problems, organ damage, gut issues and alzheimers are just a few..
There are many water filters available on the market. Some better than others. My favourite and the one that I highly recommend is Waters Co. I personally have the Waters Co Australia BIO 1000 Black 10 Litre Bench Top Filter, as well as the AceBio+ 1.0 Litre Alkaline Mineral Water Filter Jug and absolutely love it.

If a bench top water filter system is out of your budget at this time, I would recommend investing in a water filter jug to start with. They range from $99-$199 and are a fantastic starting option to get clean and safe drinking water into your home ASAP, they're also great for when you're travelling. The bench top systems range from around $699-$929 and the filter set that comes with them lasts up to 15,000 litres or 60 months.
