Ditch the Bottled Water: Save Money & Cut Microplastics by 90%
Posted by Lachlan McIntosh on
Are you worried about the quality of the water your family is drinking?
If you're relying on bottled water to stay safe, you might be surprised to learn that it's not necessarily the healthier choice. In fact, recent research shows that bottled water contains far more microplastics than filtered tap water — and the health impacts are just beginning to surface.
What Are Microplastics, and Why Should You Care?
Microplastics are tiny particles of plastic (less than 5mm) that break off from larger items like plastic bottles, food packaging, and even synthetic clothing. These particles are now being detected in our oceans, food, drinking water — and even in the human brain.
Yes, you read that right.
A recent study published in Medical Dialogues found alarming levels of microplastics in human brain tissue, and researchers are now looking into possible links with neurological diseases like dementia and Alzheimer’s. You can read the full article here.
How Switching to Filtered Water Helps
By simply switching from bottled water to filtered tap water, you can reduce your microplastic intake by up to 90% — from an estimated 90,000 particles per year down to just 4,000.
That’s a huge improvement for both your health and the environment.
Save Money While You're At It
Buying bottled water every week might not seem like much at first, but it adds up quickly. Most Australian households spend hundreds of dollars per year on bottled water — while a high-quality filtration system costs far less over time.
At Aqua-Power, we can set you up with a Puretec water filtration system tailored to your household needs — including under-sink, whole-house, and rainwater filtration options. These systems are designed to remove sediment, chlorine, bacteria, and yes — microplastics.
