Think bottled water is safer than tap? Think again.
We’re breaking down the real pros and cons of filtered water vs bottled, using Aussie data and global insights — so you can make a smarter, healthier choice for your home.
🚰 The Bottled Water Illusion
Bottled water feels cleaner — but many brands are just filtered tap water in disguise.
In fact, a 2023 study by CHOICE Australia found that some bottled water brands had higher microplastic levels than Brisbane’s municipal tap water.
Not to mention:
-
💸 Costs up to 2,000x more per litre
-
🚯 Creates plastic waste that lasts centuries
-
❌ Still often contains trace chemicals like BPA
💧 Why Filtered Water Wins
Filtering your tap water is cleaner, greener, and more cost-effective. The right multi-stage system can remove:
-
Chlorine
-
Fluoride
-
Heavy metals (like lead, copper)
-
Pesticides & PFAS
-
Microplastics & sediment
Our Trinity Water Filter uses 8 powerful stages including activated carbon, ceramic, and mineral enhancement — giving you safe, silky-smooth water straight from the tap.
🧪 Aussie Tap Water: Safe, But Not Perfect
While Australian tap water is among the safest in the world, state reports show it can still contain:
-
Chlorine & ammonia (used for disinfection)
-
Fluoride (controversial for long-term use)
-
Rust, sediment, and copper from old plumbing
Filtering ensures peace of mind, especially for:
-
🧒 Families with kids
-
🐾 Pets
-
☕ Tea & coffee lovers who notice the taste
