We all know that water is a vital nutrient for your body. Drinking water is the healthiest, most natural way to hydrate. A sufficient water supply supports health and well-being, since water contributes to the preservation of normal physical and cognitive functions. On average, 60% of an adult’s body weight is composed of water – water is present in almost every single cell of your body. As such, water is our most important macronutrient in quantitative terms. It is important to life as water is essential to practically all functions of the human body. This is why you should only be consuming filtered water. The most effective way to consume mineral water is to install an alkaline mineral water filter in your home. Biopure Water for Life, supply the best alkaline mineral water filters in Australia. Drinking water filtered through one of our alkaline mineral water filters will help maintain the balance of your body and mind.

 

Why Drink Filtered Alkaline Mineral Water?

Filtered mineral water is in fact the healthiest and most natural way to hydrate – it contains zero calories, no sugar, and no added chemicals. Consuming filtered alkaline mineral water is essential to compensate for you daily water losses. Improving hydration and drinking habits can make a simple and significant contribution to promoting healthier lifestyles. Drinking mineral water, that has been filtered through a Biopure alkaline mineral water filter has additional health benefits that you might not be aware of such as:

• mineral water is beneficial to the preservation of physical and mental functions;
• It acts as a lubricant and cushion for the joints, helping to protect sensitive tissue from shock;
• it also aids in the digestion process, by helping to break down the foods you eat; and
• filtered water containing magnesium supports your energy metabolism and can help to reduce tiredness and fatigue.

Drinking filtered alkaline mineral water is beneficial to health and well-being. But it is not only the amount of water you drink that is important – what the water contains is even more essential. Drinking mineral water, filtered through an alkaline mineral water filter, ensures that you can easily maintain your fluid balance while at the same time supplying your body with valuable minerals and trace elements.

• Besides the level of mineralization, the types of minerals contained in filtered mineral water are also of major importance. Every mineral has a specific effect on your health, such as energy metabolism, digestion or clotting of blood. More specifically, important minerals that feature in most filtered mineral waters are Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium;
• Calcium is involved in many important functions of the human body. Calcium is also important for healthy bones, muscles, and teeth;
• Magnesium supports your body’s energy metabolism and helps raise PH naturally. Due to this, magnesium can help reduce fatigue and tiring. Especially important for sportive and active people: Magnesium is essential to the functionality of your muscles and nervous system.

Biopure also offer installation services. Call us today for an obligation free discussion.

Biopure, Water for Life have water filter systems and cartridges for all purposes and applications. Biopure’s systems are backed by our 10 year warranty and are NSF and Australian watermark certified.

After installing your new watermark certified water filter system, you shouldn’t just forget about it and hope that it continues to deliver pure, clean water. Just like everything worth having, they require some maintenance to continue to pump out healthy, pure, water. Whether you should replace your water filter cartridge depends on how long you’ve had it and how often you use it, as well as the type of filter and the water quality in your area.Depending on the filter system that you have, the water filter cartridge will need generally need changing between once every 12 months to once every 24 months. Usually your filter will have a label that recommends how often to change the cartridge.

But if you’ve lost track of how long you’ve had your current filter, how do you know when your filter needs changing? you may ask.

Here are a few clues to help you to know when to change your water filter cartridge:

1. if the filtered water starts to taste and smell different (you may even notice the chlorine taste again);
2. you may notice large particles in the water; and
3. the water flow may start to slow down.

If you notice any of these signs, then it is time to check on your water filter!

These changes occur because the filter is beginning to become clogged up with particles. When this happens, the filter still works but the cartridge is not doing its job properly. So eventually if your water filter cartridge is not changed, over time the cartridge will become less and less effective as it can’t capture the particles anymore. If you forget to change the filter for too long it will get to the point where it will become totally clogged up and stop allowing water through.At this point it could become a breeding ground for bacteria which is very detrimental to your health.

Always check the manufacturer’s water usage guidelines to make sure you haven’t exceeded them. Of course, some factors will influence the rate at which your water filter cartridge will need changing, such as:

1. water quality;
2. presence of chemicals in the water;
3. the amount the water filter is used (depending on whether a whole family is using the system or just you); and
4. the filter type:

At Biopure, Water for Life, we offer a number of different filters such as:

1. 1. Ceramic – removes sediment, rust, algae, chemicals, bad taste, odours and bacteria.
   2. Sediment removal filters – Sediment removal water filter cartridges are available in poly spun or pleated washable, as mentioned above. Pleated polypropylene filter media provides more surface area for longer filter life and increased particle removal.
   3. Activated Carbon – works by absorbing contaminants trapped inside the pore structure of the carbon filter. There are two types of this filter, the ‘Carbon Block’ and the ‘Granulated Activated Carbon’ filter where both are dependent on water pressure.
   4. Reverse Osmosis – this water filter system contains more advanced technology than the ‘Activated Carbon’ because it can remove fluoride, arsenic and nitrate. Thus, these types of filters are recommended for people who want to remove fluoride or may have an illness.

It might be handy to note that some of Bioure’s water filter cartridges can be scrubbed clean to extend the filter’s life between filter replacements, such as the doulton range of cleanable ceramic filter cartridges

So to recap, most water filter cartridges require replacement every 12 to 24 months, depending on the filter type, water quality and rate of use. It is often easy to note how often you need to change your filter cartridge as the filter system will be labelled.

Biopure offer replacement water filter cartridges for many water filters, all of which are available online now.  We stock a large range of replacement water filters from leading water filter brands including Matrikx, Multipure, Omnipure, Doulton, Sprite, Pentek, Everpure, Biopure Ezifit and Ultraceram just to name a few.   Our range will suit most types of water filter systems on the Australian market.   You can choose from popular sediment removal filters, carbon filters, ceramic filters and more.

If you are on Biopure Water for Life’s website you have probably heard of the many claimed health benefits of drinking alkaline water. The easiest way to consume alkaline water is to purchase and install an alkaline water filter, so that your town water, tank water or bore water can be stripped of contaminates and re-mineralised.

The benefits of an alkaline water filter are immense and may help to alleviate many health concerns. An alkaline water filter system can remove the majority of contaminates and its consumption will help your body to absorb overly acidic chemicals.

 

Why Drink Alkaline Water?

Alkaline water has many health benefits, and although not all of them are scientifically proven (yet), Biopure believe that using an alkaline water filter system really can contribute towards a greater sense of wellbeing. Drinking water daily is vital to retain optimal health. Drinking water that is free from chemicals and is alkaline helps to improve health, rather than just maintain it. Research indicates our physiologies function optimally when we are neither too acidic or too alkaline.

Unfortunately, with today’s busy, stressful lifestyle, unbalanced diet, lack of exercise and environmental pollutants we tend to be more acidic. Drinking alkaline water may help the body develop an optimal pH balance. Alkaline water is essential for proper circulation as well as flushing toxins from our system. It also regulates the body’s cooling system more efficiently and helps carry oxygen through the body.

The key health benefits you may gain from using an alkaline water filter system are:

 

1- Reduction in acidity

An alkaline water filter system can help to reduce the acidity levels in your body by absorbing and helping to balance the acidity consumed in everyday western foods.

 

2- Improve concentration and focus

The prolonged consumption of chlorinated water is shown to reduce IQ levels, especially in developing children. Biopure’s alkaline water filters help to remove these harmful contaminates.

 

3 – Reduce aches and pains

Ensuring that you are consuming adequate amounts of fresh, pure, alkaline water can reduce the level of aches and pains you feel within your body that are unrelated to injury. This is due to increased concentration of hydrogen ions that allow greater absorption by the body and more rapid energisation.

Of course we do! We offer several excellent alkaline water filter options that effectively remove up to 99% of heavy metals, micro-organism, viruses, bacteria, and other chemical contaminants.   The PI Biopure Alkaline Mineral Cartridge will give you a healthy pH of 8.5 to 9.5 whilst adding back essential minerals.

Are you looking for a water purifier, but are unsure whether to go for the counter top water filter, or an under sink system? Biopure Water for Life has got you covered; in this blog, we have a look at the advantages and disadvantages of counter top water purifiers. This will hopefully assist you to make your decision. 

A countertop water filter also known as a benchtop filter is easy to install with no plumbing required, they are cost effective, and are portable.  They can also be as effective as under sink water filter systems in removing contaminants.  Biopure Water for Life stock a variety of counter top water filters from single to twin systems.

 

Here are some of the advantages of counter top water filters:

 

Easy installation

Counter top water filters are great easy to install water filtration systems. Most require absolutely no plumbing and can be installed without a plumber in just 5 minutes.

 

Price advantage

Counter top water filters are also easy on the hip pocket and cost much less than the average under sink water filter.

 

Portable

Counter top water filters are great for travellers, renters and those who don’t want such a permanent system. Basically, just unplug the water filter and move on to your next destination with your fresh water purifier.

 

As effective as under sink systems

Most counter top water filters successfully remove chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria, cysts, giardia, viruses, sediment, dirt, odours, pesticides and so much more.

 

Let’s play devil’s advocate; here are some of the disadvantages of counter top water filters:

 

Aesthetics

As the name suggests, counter top filter systems sit on your counter near the sink. These can be considered a bit of an eyesore by some. If you do not like the look of the filter on your bench top, the alternative is to install an under sink system that will never be seen.

 

Efficiency

Due to the compact and portable nature of most counter top water filter systems, they often do not have the filtering capacity of their larger, under sink counterparts. They also may lack in their contaminant removal capacity.

If you value your health, you have probably considered installing a water filter. But what water filter should you buy? With so many options out there you may need some help, right? Biopure are here to help you make an informed choice and explain why you should install an under sink water filter.  As our bodies are made up of about 60% water, it makes sense to consider the quality of the water we are consuming. We need to ensure that we are:

a) getting enough water; and

b) drinking the right water.

As we know, municipal water supplies are usually full of additives and compounds, that when consumed in excess can be negative for our long term health. The best way to ensure that you are getting the right water for optimal health, is to install an under sink water filter. Biopure’s scientifically backed, reverse osmosis water filters are proven to filter out 99% of foreign compounds, fluoride, chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria, bad tastes and more. Leaving you with nothing but pure, delicious and nourishing water. Biopure specialise in producing filter options that deliver pure, safe and healthy water.

How Under Sink Water Filters Work

A number of methods exist for filtering water under the sink. However, the most common is to divert the water from the main cold water supply under the sink using a connection. The connection is usually a watermark certified metal connection. From this connection a food grade BPA free tube is then sent to the filter’s purifying cartridge where the chemicals and contaminants are mostly removed. The water is then sent to the filter tap on the surface of the sink where the fresh, filtered water will be dispensed.

Benefits of Under Sink Water Filters 

The benefits of under sink water filters are immeasurable to an extent. In a general sense, sustained and consistent consumption of filtered water will lead to an improved sense of wellbeing. But more specifically it is known to:

• • Help mitigate the risk of cancer, by helping to eliminate carcinogenic contaminants;

• • Improve hydration;

• • Assist in prevention of birth defects in pregnant women;

• • Improve the health and growth of developing children;

• • Retain healthy mineral deposits and in the case of reverse osmosis an optional alkaline mineral cartridge is available.

• Reduce gastrointestinal issues.

These are just some of the many benefits that can be derived from the sustained and consistent use of under sink water filters. If you are considering taking the next step towards improving your health, you should do some research and determine the right filter for your needs. Biopure offer the best water filter system for your health requirements, from under sink water filters to counter top filters. But when you are purchasing a filter there are some things to be conscious of:

Things to look out for:

Size

When considering an under sink water filter you should always ensure that you take into account the size of the filter. Use a tape measure to measure the size of the filter and compare this to the size of your cupboard underneath your sink. The last thing that you want is to bring your new filter home and discover that it will not fit under the sink.

Ease of installation/filter change

Selecting a unit that is easy to install by yourself is a must, you do not want to go to the unnecessary expense of hiring a plumber to install your filter on your behalf. Most under sink water filter units are designed to be very easy to install and they should be, however if you have trouble installing your unit, Biopure offers water filter installations and ongoing services on the Gold Coast, Tweed Shire and surrounding areas.

Cartridge longevity

The filter in your water filter system requires changing on a semi-regular basis. Biopure’s filter cartridges generally only require replacement once every 12 months. The regularity of a cartridge change will no doubt influence the decision you make about your filter system. Biopure only offer high quality filter systems and the best filters and filtration components.

Filtering Capacity

Some cartridges are more efficient at removing impurities and contaminants than others, so you should always consider the filtering capacity of your water filter system before committing to a purchase. For example, our most popular system, the Alkaline mineral hydrogen rich under sink reverse osmosis has the capacity to produce up to 300 litres of fresh, filtered and pure water per day.

Water pressure

The rate at which your water filter can provide you with pure, filtered water is an important consideration. No one wants to be standing at the filter nozzle for hours waiting for their water bottle to fill. All of Biopure’s filter systems are made of a high standard and provide water at a sufficient pressure to keep you happy at the nozzle.

Alternative options

If you are not keen to commit to an under sink system, you should consider the other options available. Biopure provide excellent countertop systems that offer similar benefits to the under sink models. The countertop models are no doubt smaller and cannot produce as high a volume of filtered water, however they are still great systems and are capable at removing the majority of contaminants, impurities and bad tastes from your water. They are also very simple and quick to install.

Whether to drink tap water or not is a common health based question. The question is relatable as we all rely heavily on tap water on a daily basis and it is difficult to know what exactly is in it. Even if you don’t drink tap water, you likely wash your fruit and vegetables or cook with it. The safety of our daily water supply is a controversial and important topic; especially in Australia where the Government fluoridates more than 50% of the water supply. Biopure will discuss the dangers of drinking tap water and give you some important information on why should you avoid it.

Have you had your chemicals today

On top of that, it is worrying to note that the relevant water management authorities in each State and Territory add up to 50 different chemicals to our water supply. Such chemicals are added for a range of public health related reasons, with assurances that the water is fit for human consumption. But how can we be certain that these chemicals are as harmless as they are made out to be? How can we know whether there are any long term side effects or not? Conclusive research has not been conducted to assess the real long term effects of increased consumption of fluoride, so there is no way to be certain of its actual benefits or effects. However, recent studies in Canada suggest that there is little to no improvement in the dental health of those who have fluoride added to their water as opposed to those that do not.

Avoid excessive fluoride

Little research exists to back up the premise that fluoride in water is beneficial for our dental health (the quoted reason it is added to our water supply); however, there is plenty of evidence that does suggest that excess fluoride has detrimental side effects to the human body especially sodium fluoride added to Queensland water supplies. Excess fluoride has been proven to have damaging effects on the cognitive development of children, cause thyroid conditions and increase instances of mental health issues. Further, the increased concentration of fluoride in household plumbing has been proven to corrode pipes and if the pipes are made from copper or other heavy metals, this can leach into your drinking water. We do not need to elaborate on the negative effects of consumption of excess heavy metals; as we know that they can cause severe health issues.

With these points in mind, it’s clear that you should ensure you aren’t consuming excessive fluoride, chlorine and other contaminates. Excess consumption can be prevented by avoiding the use of tap water for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables and cooking. Although the Australian water authorities state that there is too small an amount of fluoride in the Australian water supply to affect humans negatively, it is difficult to be sure how much fluoride you should actually be consuming for good health. However, Australian dentists suggest that a safe amount is between 3-4 milligrams per day. A conservative serving of generic toothpaste contains 3 milligrams of fluoride. So, it is safe to assume that as your toothpaste and mouthwash contains fluoride, there should be no need to supplement fluoride intake any further through water supply.

Biopure has a solution for your household

To ensure that you are protecting your health and the health of your family, we recommend avoiding the use of tap water at all costs. The best way to go about this it by installing a Biopure reverse osmosis water purifier which has the capability of removing fluoride and other chemical contaminates from your water. Some water filters do not remove trace elements, so will not be effective at removing the fluoride or heavy metals. A reverse osmosis system works to effectively remove all impurities from the water and guard your long term health. Biopure offer reverse osmosis systems in portable options or as built in under sink systems. Contact us today to see how we can work with you to protect your health through our tailored healthy water systems.
