The Real Cost of Bottled Water
Australians spend more than $700 million on bottled water every year. For a family of four buying just two cases of 600ml water per week at around $8 each, that is over $800 a year, and the cost compounds every year you continue.
Beyond the financial cost, consider the environmental impact: plastic water bottles are one of the most significant contributors to landfill and ocean plastic pollution in Australia. A single reverse osmosis system or under-sink filter can eliminate thousands of plastic bottles from your household every year.
How a Home Water Filter Changes the Equation
A professionally installed under-sink water filter from Filters For You costs from $810, supply and installation included. From the day it is installed, your household has access to clean, filtered water from the kitchen tap at a cost of fractions of a cent per litre.
Reverse osmosis systems (from $1,280) go even further, removing up to 99% of contaminants including fluoride, chlorine, heavy metals and dissolved solids, producing water quality that rivals or exceeds premium bottled water brands.
