Filtered water - your secret weapon for allergy relief
Allergies can turn the joys of spring into a battle with sneezing fits, itchy eyes and congestion. While we can mostly blame pollen and airborne allergens, few people realise that filtered water can play a significant role in allergy management and relief. Contaminants in tap water may worsen respiratory and skin conditions, making allergy season even more challenging.
At Water Filters Australia, we’re committed to offering high-quality inline water filtration solutions designed for easy installation with no plumbing required. From removing chemicals that can aggravate your respiratory system to reducing skin irritation, here’s what you need to know about pure water and minimising hay fever and allergy season discomfort.

At Water Filters Australia, we’re committed to offering high-quality inline water filtration solutions designed for easy installation with no plumbing required. From removing chemicals that can aggravate your respiratory system to reducing skin irritation, here’s what you need to know about pure water and minimising hay fever and allergy season discomfort.
The impact of water quality on allergies
Municipal tap water is treated with chlorine to kill bacteria, but this chemical can be an irritant for many people. Chlorine exposure can dry out skin, inflame sinuses and worsen respiratory conditions like asthma. For those with seasonal allergies, chlorinated water can exacerbate symptoms.
Filtered water removes chlorine and other irritants, reducing the strain on your respiratory system and helping to manage asthma and hay fever symptoms more effectively.
In homes with hard water, the high mineral content can also irritate the skin, especially for those prone to eczema and dermatitis. These skin conditions often overlap with allergies, leading to additional itching, dryness and discomfort.
For households using water from rainwater tanks, there’s also a risk of exposure to bacteria, mould and other allergens. A high-quality water filter provides peace of mind, knowing this water is cleaner, safer, and won’t magnify existing allergies.
Protecting your skin
Sediment and trace pollutants in tap water contribute to irritation. When used for washing hands frequently, these particles can clog pores, causing dryness, itchiness and rashes. Individuals with eczema or sensitive skin may find that regular tap water makes their symptoms harder to control. Filtering out these contaminants allows your body to focus on managing seasonal allergies without the added burden of water-based irritants.
At Water Filters Australia, we offer bathroom vanity water filters to keep your skin chlorine and chemical-free without losing the benefits of fluoride while brushing your teeth. These filters also protect your tap from limescale buildup.
Why hydration matters for allergy relief
Hydration plays an important role in managing allergy symptoms. Staying well-hydrated helps thin mucus, making it easier to clear allergens from your system and reduce sinus congestion. However, drinking extra water won’t be as effective if your water source contains chemicals and impurities that irritate your body.
Filtered water offers the best of both worlds: hydration without potential irritation. You are also more likely to drink an adequate amount of water when it has a fresh taste and is free of chlorine and other contaminants.
By ensuring your water is pure, you support your respiratory system in flushing out allergens more effectively, helping you to enjoy the season with less congestion.
A better season with cleaner water
Managing allergies takes a lot more than just avoiding pollen – it’s about limiting exposure to irritants wherever possible. By filtering your water at home, you can reduce the impact of certain chemicals on your skin and respiratory system.
Whether you’re drinking more water to stay hydrated, doing the dishes or washing your hands, our inline water filters can provide the clean, chemical-free water you need to support your health this spring and all year round.

What’s the Difference Between Boiled and Filtered Water?
Boiling is one of the oldest methods of making water safe, and for good reason. It quickly kills most bacteria, viruses and parasites that can be present in a supply. But boiling isn’t the only way people protect their water, and it certainly isn’t the same as filtering. The difference between the two is often misunderstood, and it’s bigger than it first appears.
Spring reset: Why filtered water should be part of your detox
Spring feels like the right time for a reset, which is why detox routines often make their way back into focus. While your efforts might centre on digestion, energy and general wellbeing, what you choose to drink plays a bigger role than you might think. Using filtered water gives your body the cleanest foundation to work from and the best chance of making those efforts count.
This is how often you should change your inline water filter cartridge
What you can’t see in your kitchen often does more work than what’s visible. No, we’re not talking about the fridge’s compressor, but the inline water filter tucked beneath the sink. It connects to your existing supply and uses a replaceable cartridge to clean water as it flows. A common question when considering one is how often the cartridge needs to be changed.
