Why You NEED Awesome Water: The Truth About Your Tap Water
Health Warning
What’s Really In Your Water?
Most Australians think their tap water is safe… but “safe” does not mean clean.
Your water may contain chlorine, fluoride, PFAS (forever chemicals), heavy metals, pesticides, and microplastics — and you are exposed to it every single day.
Why Do You Need Filtered Water?
Filtered water matters because tap water can contain unwanted substances such as chlorine, fluoride, PFAS, heavy metals, sediment, pesticides, and disinfection byproducts. Proper filtration can help reduce these contaminants, improve taste and smell, and support better everyday water quality for drinking, food preparation, and household use.
Awesome Water offers solutions ranging from benchtop purifiers and water coolers to under-sink filtration and whole house systems.
🚨 It’s Not Just What You Drink
You do not just drink your water.
- You cook with it
- You wash your fruit and vegetables with it
- You shower in it
- Your household is exposed to it every day
☠️ What Could Be In Your Water?
Even when water meets normal supply standards, it can still contain low levels of substances many people would prefer to reduce.
Persistent “forever chemicals” that may build up over time.
Used in treatment, but many people prefer to reduce ongoing exposure.
Commonly added, but some households specifically want to filter it out.
Including lead, mercury, arsenic and other unwanted substances.
Possible runoff and other environmental contaminants are a concern for many households.
Another reason many customers prefer filtration over bottled water.
⚠️ Why This Matters
For many people, the concern is not just one glass of water. It is the long-term, repeated contact with water used every day in the home or workplace.
That includes what you drink, what you cook with, what touches your food, and what your family uses every day.
⚡ Quick Facts (What Most People Don’t Know)
- “Safe” water does not mean contaminant-free
- Boiling water does not remove many chemicals, salts or metals
- Some contaminants can build up over time
- Water quality can vary depending on infrastructure, location, and filtration
- Bottled water is not always the ideal alternative for households wanting long-term cleaner water
🚨 Washing Your Fruit & Vegetables? Think Again
You wash your food to remove contaminants.
If your water contains chlorine, fluoride, PFAS, sediment or other unwanted substances, then filtered water becomes about more than taste. It becomes about what touches your food before it reaches your body.
