We use water for everything - drinking, cooking, bathing, making coffee, washing food. When the water coming into your home contains contaminants, disinfectants, or heavy metals, you're exposed to them in more ways than just drinking. Better water isn't a luxury. For most households, it's a better baseline
Water makes up around 60% of the adult body. It carries nutrients to cells, flushes waste, regulates temperature, and supports virtually every biological process. The quality of the water you drink every day has a direct relationship with how your body performs those functions.
Filtered water free of chemical disinfectants and contaminants is more readily absorbed by the body. For many people, the simple act of drinking more water begins with water that actually tastes good.
Both are added during treatment to kill bacteria - and they do that job well. But ongoing exposure, including through ingestion and skin contact, is worth reducing where you can. Filtration removes both before water reaches you.
Lead, copper, and other metals can enter water through ageing pipes and fittings. Even at low levels, chronic exposure to heavy metals accumulates in the body over time. Filtration removes these at the point of use.
Our RO filtration removes up to 99% of PFAS compounds, fluoride, nitrates, and other dissolved solids. For households in areas with known contamination risk, this is a meaningful layer of protection.
The water you boil pasta in, rinse vegetables with, and use for stock is part of what you eat. Filtered water means everything prepared with it starts from a cleaner base
Our systems include UV sterilisation (Sparkling Pro) and multi-stage filtration that eliminates bacteria and viruses at the point of use - an additional safeguard beyond municipal treatment alone
The facts page covers all common water contaminants in detail. Here's how the most relevant ones connect to your health outcomes specifically.
At typical tap water concentrations, chlorine is considered safe for most people. But ongoing exposure - particularly through showering and bathing - can irritate skin, strip natural oils, and in sensitive individuals, trigger respiratory responses. Research has linked chlorinated water to irritant dermatitis. For those with eczema, asthma, or skin sensitivities, reducing chlorine exposure often produces noticeable improvement
There is no established safe level of lead exposure. In children, even low-level accumulation is associated with reduced IQ, shortened attention span, and behavioural changes. In adults, chronic exposure is linked to cardiovascular effects, decreased kidney function, and reproductive issues. Lead enters water through ageing plumbing - not through treatment - and has no taste, colour, or smell. Testing is the only way to know.
CPFAS compounds do not leave the body easily. Research from Harvard and the CDC links PFAS exposure to liver damage, thyroid disease, decreased fertility, and increased cancer risk. The science continues to develop, and current safe exposure limits are under review in many countries. For households with any known PFAS risk in their area, RO filtration is one of the most effective mitigation strategies available
When chlorine reacts with naturally occurring organic matter in water, it creates disinfection byproducts including trihalomethanes (THMs). These are monitored at the treatment level but can still be present in tap water. Long-term exposure to DBPs at elevated levels has been associated with increased cancer risk in several large epidemiological studies. Most people are unaware these compounds exist in their water
FOR APARTMENT AND WORKPLACE USERS
Our Hydrogen-Rich Benchtop system goes a step beyond standard filtration. After removing contaminants, it infuses water with dissolved molecular hydrogen - a small, cell-permeable molecule that research suggests may support cellular health and reduce oxidative stress. The science around hydrogen-rich water is still developing, but early findings are promising. Studies have explored potential benefits across areas including inflammation, metabolic function, and exercise recovery. It is not a medical claim - it is an emerging area of nutritional research worth knowing about
These are common outcomes reported by households after installing a OneWater system. They're not guaranteed results - water quality varies by location - but they reflect what a meaningful reduction in contaminant exposure tends to produce
Better-tasting water that's genuinely enjoyable to drink - most households drink more water as a result
Reduced skin dryness and irritation, particularly in people who shower frequently or have sensitive skin
Fewer digestive complaints linked to water quality in households with known contaminant issues
Greater peace of mind - particularly for households with young children, pregnant women, or immunocompromised family members
Reduced reliance on bottled water - removing a source of ongoing plastic exposure and cost
