Inline water filtration systems and their role in sustainable living

Every minute, one million plastic bottles are purchased globally, and it’s causing a crisis for our planet. Fortunately, we’re all becoming more conscious of the issue and taking small steps to reduce our environmental impact. A simple yet effective way to lower your single-use plastic bottle consumption is to use inline water filtration systems at home. By filtering water directly from your tap, you’re not just ensuring quality hydration for your family—you’re engaging in sustainable living that benefits future generations.

At Water Filters Australia, we’re committed to offering high-quality inline water filtration solutions designed for easy installation with no plumbing required. Affordable and user-friendly, these filters provide numerous benefits for any household while helping you make greener choices.

Why is home-filtered water a greener choice?

Inline water filters are an eco-friendly alternative to bottled water for several reasons:

  • Reduction in plastic waste: As mentioned, bottled water generates a staggering amount of plastic waste globally. In Australia alone, over one billion plastic bottles end up in landfills each year. Inline water filtration systems allow you to enjoy fresh, clean water without contributing to this plastic crisis.
  • Lower carbon footprint: The production, packaging and transportation of bottled water involve significant energy resources and carbon emissions. By filtering your water at home, you limit your household’s reliance on bottled water and lower your overall carbon footprint.
  • Energy efficiency: Inline water filtration is energy-efficient since it avoids the energy-consuming processes associated with bottled water production. Therefore, it’s a much greener alternative.

The environmental impact of bottled water

Whether it’s plastic pollution or excessive fossil fuel consumption in production, plastic waste is a major problem. Although most plastic bottles are recyclable, only about 20% are actually recycled in Australia. The rest end up in landfills or the ocean.
Plastic waste in the ocean poses severe threats to marine life, with millions of animals harmed by ingesting plastic debris each year. By reducing our reliance on bottled water and switching to sustainable alternatives, we can help lessen this impact on those ecosystems.

In addition, the energy and water used in the production of bottled water are often overlooked. It takes approximately 1.32 litres of water to produce just one litre of bottled water. With growing concerns about water scarcity in Australia and around the world, it’s crucial to make water consumption choices that don’t exacerbate these issues.

Pure water and sustainable living

At Water Filters Australia, we are committed to providing top-quality home water filtration solutions. Our inline water filtration options are Watermark Certified and meet Australian standards, ensuring both reliability and quality. They are designed for easy installation with no plumber required, simple filter changes and no need to drill in your kitchen benchtop.

We source our filters from America, which use advanced carbon filtration technology. These filters employ a three-stage process. The first stage captures larger particles, the second stage removes smaller contaminants like rust, and the third stage eliminates harmful cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. This ensures pure, fresh water with improved taste and odour.

Filtering water at home is more economical and environmentally friendly compared to bottled water. With long-term cost savings and reduced plastic waste, our systems offer a sustainable choice for both your budget and the planet.
