Dollar and cents

Unlike our competitors when you purchase our filter systems they come complete with all the options and replacement parts you need to keep you going for years to come, so there's nothing more for you to buy or spend on to upgrade. Most other systems that appear to be cheaper to buy will actually cost more than double than the investment made in a Waters Co system in ongoing maintenance.

The Bio 500 comes complete with a filter kit & replacement components to last up to 12,000 litres*. Based on 8 litres per day that works out to around 4 years.

  • The Bio 500 works out to $140 per annum or around 3 cents per litre (based on 3 year filter kit included)
  • Similar brands are up to $250 per annum or around 6 cents per litre (Only include filters for 6-12 months when new)

Natural alkaline mineral water

Our research team include World Peace Prize winning genetic scientists that weren't just satisfied with providing the best filtration. They research down to DNA levels to ensure that you get the best water for optimum hydration and cellular support to give you the best potential for health & longevity.

BIO stands for Bio Mineral Pot, adding over 60 bio organic minerals including calcium, magnesuim and all important silica. Derived from coral and silica sands, instead of inorganic minerals from rock and artificially coated alkalising stones or electronic alkalising ioniser machines.

Ideally drinking water should be close to our bloods natural pH of around 7.36 our filters systems and the minerals added are mildly alkalising to the body and our filtered water typically has a pH of around 7.6 - 8.2

The 60 plus minerals added are critical to our body's cellular health, functioning of vital organs and muscles.

Eco friendly alternative to bottled water

Store-bought bottled water isn’t just expensive. It contributes to the consumption of tonnes of environmentally un-friendly plastic waste made from non-renewable fossil fuel resources

When these bottles are emptied, the greater percentage become landfill - or garbage that ends up in waterways and oceans threatening marine life & much more.

Greenhouse gases are the by-products of manufacturing these disposable, store-bought plastic water bottles & many of the reusable bottles which still have a limited lifespan, so to are the carbon emissions from vehicles that transport these bottles to shops.

With the Bench top filters you can fill a water bottle at home before leaving for the day or consider a Waterman portable filter, which makes it easy to drink fresh alkaline water anywhere – without wasting your money or the planet’s resources in the process.

Activated water

Waters Co Mineral Pots feature Far Infrared Ceramics, which are made from a mixture of various metals and non-metal elements that have been treated at a temperature of between 900º-1300ºC. In the resulting ceramic, Ki (Chi or life energy) is generated, which is absorbed and stored in water. Drinking water is thus synonymous to drinking Ki.

Summary of the effects of far infra-red ray:

  • Production of Ki (Chi or life energy)
  • Increase in physiological activity
  • Regulates Perspiration
  • Relieves pain
  • Removes heavy metals from cells
  • Helps sleep
  • Effective deodorization (Bacteriostatic)
  • Suppress germ growth
  • De-humidifying property
  • Air purification
  • Slightly alkalising

Negative ion (Anion) water

Far infrared also creates negative ions (anions) that are hugely beneficial to our health & wellbeing. There are more than 1500-2000 particle anions/cm3 (Negative Ions) in the WATERS Bio Mineral Pot water purifier systems.

There are lots of anions in the air found in forests, around waterfalls, in grasslands, water fountains/features and at the beach. When people come into contact with these sorts of environments, they feel refreshed. There are stones in the mountains that generate many anions. In cells, anions combine ions with active acids, which reduces the generation of toxic active acids.

Benefits of Negative ions (anion) to the human body

  • Strengthens the immune system.
  • Anions vitalise cells in the whole body and increase the immunoglobulin that strengthens the immune system.
  • Provides oxygen to cells
  • Anions act upon the cell membrane, and provide nutrients and oxygen to the cells, discharging carbon dioxide and other wastes.
  • Blood Purification
  • Healthy blood has pH of approximately 7.4. Anions change acidic blood to the basic level that is found in a healthy person's body.
  • Helps recovery from fatigue
  • When anions are absorbed into the body, the body fluid vitalises the body’s metabolism, resulting in the decomposition of fatigue-causing substances that are accumulated in the body. This helps us to recover from fatigue.
  • Stabilises the autonomic nerve system
  • Autonomic nerves govern the body’s organs. The nerves that vitalise organ activity are known as sympathetic nerves, and the nerves that suppress organ activities are parasympathetic nerves. Anions act upon these autonomic nerves and stabilize their activities.
  • Improves the allergic conditions
  • It is verified that anions are beneficial treatment for allergies of the respiratory system. Anions affect the autonomic nerves that strengthen against allergies and improve the physical constitution, hence the popularity of air ionisers & salt crystal lamps.

Magnetised structured micro cluster water

Magnetised water's biological effects:

  • Promotes growth, fitness and metabolism
  • Strengthens the resistance of the living body due to its high activation in the body.
  • Helps with digestion and the helps bowel activities.
  • Prevents or treats gallstones and urolith (Urinary tract stones) generation.
  • Helps to discharge bodily waste and increases liver function.
  • Maintains the tears, sweat, saliva, and the intestinal fluid.
  • Suppresses germ growth.
  • Solubility, cohesion, and conductivity are increased.
  • Maintains longer cohesion.
  • Magnetised water does not evaporate easily.
  • Due to its molecular structure being densely crowded, it is slow to freeze and slow to melt.
  • Due to its particular molecular structure, concentrated water colonies are formed.
  • Cancer preventative. Water treated at the N Pole creates a higher ratio of hexagonal water. Therefore, there are studies that claim it suppresses the growth of cancer cells.
  • Create more hexagonal micro-clustered water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Waters Co filters different from other water filters?

Waters Co filters go beyond simple contaminant removal. Using multi-stage technology, including ceramics, activated carbon, bio-ceramics, magnets, and coral, they not only purify but also remineralise and alkalise water. This creates “living water” that hydrates more effectively than standard filtered water.

Do Waters Co filters remove fluoride and heavy metals?

Yes. Independent laboratory testing shows Waters Co filters remove up to 99% of fluoride, as well as heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. They also reduce chlorine, pesticides, industrial chemicals, and microplastics.

Will the filter strip out essential minerals like calcium and magnesium?

No. Unlike reverse-osmosis systems that remove everything, Waters Co filters preserve and reintroduce beneficial trace minerals. The result is water that not only tastes better but also supports bone health, pH balance, and hydration at the cellular level.

How long do the filters last?

Waters Co filters are designed for longevity. Depending on the system, filters can last up to 4 years with average household use. This means far fewer replacements than most pitcher or countertop brands, saving money and reducing waste.

Are Waters Co filters certified or tested?

Yes. Waters Co holds certifications from NSF International, ISO, CE, FDA, and the Water Quality Association, among others. They’ve also won global awards for quality and environmental stewardship, ensuring proven performance and trust.

Do Waters Co filters improve the taste of water?

Absolutely. Customers consistently report cleaner, fresher, and smoother-tasting water. By removing chlorine, pesticides, and organic contaminants, and adding back minerals, Waters Co water often tastes like natural spring water.

What is the environmental impact of using a Waters Co filter?

Waters Co filters are eco-friendly. With long filter life and BPA-free designs, they reduce plastic waste from bottled water and require fewer cartridge changes compared to other brands. They’re also non-electric, using natural processes instead of power.

Are Waters Co systems expensive to maintain?

No. When you calculate filter life, Waters Co water costs as little as 3 cents per litre, far cheaper than bottled water and many competing filtration systems that require frequent cartridge replacements.

Can I take a Waters Co filter with me on the go?

Yes. Waters Co offers a range of portable options, including bottles and jugs, perfect for travel, work, or the gym. This makes it easy to enjoy clean, mineral-rich water anywhere.

Is the water really “better for my health”?

Yes. By removing harmful toxins and enriching water with natural minerals, Waters Co supports better hydration, gut health, immune function, and overall wellbeing. Studies show that clean, mineral-balanced water is linked to lower risks of gastrointestinal illness and certain cancers.

    Beautiful tasting waters

    We're so happy with our purchase. And so worth it knowing we are drinking clear and chemical free water, that also tastes so much better than what we have been drinking for years through the tap. Also it adds a lovely ambience to our kitchen.

    Lovely tasting water!

    I recently purchased the 5.25L Bio Water filter. I was pleased that the main water container is glass (having read/seen so much about microplastics in water in the news recently). I'm unsure if the filter removes any microplastics, so it would be good to see information or a study on that...

    It feels like a bit of IQ test putting it together, as the diagrams & names of the filter sections are quite generic, but keeping calm and thinking it through, I managed this without issue. It helped having previously put two different models of Bio filter jugs together, so I knew what to expect!

    The tap function on this model is easy to use and it seems useful that it swivels.

    I find that because the unit sits on the bench, I'm more likely to remember to drink water. Or have a glass as well, when I make myself a coffee!

    It's an elegant looking unit, and I'm happy to have an additional source of water stored for if the water ever shuts off (e.g. during road works or pipe upgrades, etc). And, of course, the filtered water tastes very nice.

    I had initially wanted to buy a bigger size unit, but there weren't any options available in stock. (Is there still new stock coming?) But I think that this 5L size works well for a home situation, without taking up too much space in a small kitchen.

    It's nice to have room temparature water for winter, and we have the filter jug in the fridge, more for summer use.

    I'm very happy with this purchase and the quick delivery and supporting comms, etc.

    Super happy

    This water filter is amazing!!! I was addicted to coke before buying it and purchased it without being able to really afford it (I thought). I have changed from drinking 90% of my daily fluids in cola, to pretty much 100% pure, amazingly tasting, virtually fluoride free water!! I couldn't be happier!! I'll have the filter paid off within a few months by the amount of money I'm saving on soft drinks. I feel so much happier and healthier!! I can't thank you enough!!

    Best filter

    I recently upgraded our filter after having an older model from Waters Co for about 10 years.

    We loved the old one and the new one is even better! Great tasting water, easy to use and change filter when necessary. It was a no brainer to get another one with Waters Co as they have been great to deal with and their filters produce top quality drinking water.
