In the world of beverages, kombucha tea is clearly having its moment. The sweet tangy flavoured drink is everywhere – in cafes, pubs and supermarkets.
And when paired with flavours like ginger, lemon and peach it certainly packs a punch. Being naturally high in probiotics and low in sugar – you’ll love knowing it’s doing your body some good, too.
Making kombucha at home is easy and – best of all – cheap. And when you use filtered water you can be confident that you’re not adding in any of the nasties that may be found in tap water. It won’t take you long to see what all the fuss is about.
If you are ready to kick your soft drink habit and switch to kombucha – you won’t regret it. In fact, your gut will thank you for it!
Kombucha is naturally packed with probiotics and antioxidants. This helps keep harmful bacteria in the gut at bay.
It also has much-needed vitamins that your body needs. Vitamins C and B1, B6 and B12 – all play an important part in supporting the healthy functioning of the nervous system and immune system.
And the best part… kombucha is low in sugar. While sugar is used as a key starter ingredient, during the brewing process the sugar is converted into healthy organic acids.
Using filtered water to make kombucha means you will get the most flavour from your recipe. And you’ll be keeping away some of those nasties that can be found in tap water.
Best of all using, filtered water improves the taste – no chlorine in your kombucha! It’s simply a healthier choice.
The good thing about making kombucha at home is that it only takes a handful of ingredients.
The very essence of kombucha that brings the flavour and magic is the scoby. It’s a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast – aka the mother. It provides bacteria and yeast to ferment the sweet tea, protecting the tea from outside contaminants and gives a loose seal to keep in a bit of the fizz.
If you have a friend who makes their own kombucha, you can ask them to give you a part of their scoby to start your own culture. You can use the scoby over and over again… and as it grows, soon enough you’ll be the one your friends are coming to for a piece of scoby.
Ginger. Lemon. Peach. Berry. Lime. Mint. The sky’s the limit! You’ll love finding new flavours to add to your kombucha recipe.
Add the flavouring – fresh fruit and herbs are best – once your kombucha has finished fermenting and the scoby has been removed.
At WFA, we believe that water should be healthy, free from nasties and taste great.

Water is essential for life: drinking, cooking or staying clean. Without fresh water we simply wouldn’t survive. But when it comes to choosing the safest and healthiest water – you simply can’t go past filtered water.
Not only does it help to remove some of the chemicals and particles that may be found in tap water – chlorine, rust and cysts like giardia and cryptosporidium – it can be used all around your house. So now the whole family can benefit – even the furry family members!
As the largest organ in our body, our skin absorbs anything it comes into contact with. That’s why when it comes to washing your hands and body – the water you use matters.
The chlorine found in tap water can cause havoc to your skin’s health. It strips away the skin’s moisture, leaving it dry, which promotes early aging. It’s also incredibly damaging to your hair. It removes the hair’s natural colour and protective oils, making it dry and dull.
When you wash your skin with filtered water you’re giving it the best chance to naturally shine.
Cooking with tap water means that your body can ingest chemicals and particles commonly found in our water supply.
By simply introducing filtered water in your cooking you can dramatically reduce this exposure. The good news is that filtered water also retains beneficial minerals that your body needs, such as calcium.
It also improves the taste of your food. Filtered water removes the metallic chlorine taste that tap water produces. And it makes your food look even better. It helps to keep the natural colours of food throughout the cooking process.
Tap water can affect the performance of baking ingredients, such as yeast. So, if you love to bake – your cakes, pastries and breads will be even softer with filtered water.
There’s no doubt about it, washing fruit and vegetables before eating or cooking is vital. That’s because they can be a haven for harmful bacteria and pesticides that linger after farming.
Using filtered water means you can enjoy the flavour of fruit and vegetables without chlorine found in tap water.
We do a lot to keep our pets safe and healthy every day. Making sure they have a good diet, plenty of exercise and proper training is often top of mind. What you might not realise is that pets – just like humans – need clean water.
That’s why giving filtered water to your pets makes a lot of sense. Your pooch will be wagging its tail when you give it filtered water. It’ll be healthier and happier for it.
Your plants – indoor and out – can flourish with filtered water. Chlorine found in tap water can kill bacteria. In excessive amounts this can cause harm to the good soil bacteria that plants need to thrive. Chlorine can also injure your plant roots, preventing them from growing.
If you notice a visible thin whitish crust on the surface of the soil, it indicates there is a build-up of harmful minerals and salts on your plants from using tap water. You should consider installing a filtered water system to keep your plants healthy and strong.
With so many ways to use filtered water in your home, installing a complete filtered water system simply makes sense. It’s the best way to introduce the benefits of clean, safe water to the whole household.
