We believe in the importance of filtering water to significantly reduce exposure to a wide range of natural and synthetic contaminants that can be found in tap water.
Water filtration systems can reduce the amount of disinfection products, unpleasant taste and odour, parasites, rust, dirt, sediment, turbidity, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals and fluoride, all of which have been found in water supplies, Australia wide.
Disinfection products (eg; chlorine and aluminium sulphate) - These chemicals are often added to Australian water supplies to reduce bacteria, viruses, protozoa and other possibly harmful contaminants to make tap water drinkable. Up to 30+ chemicals, including disinfectants, can be added to town water supplies to make it suitable for consumption. The disinfection is considered to be a step to stop any microbial contaminants in water, that pose a public health risk. But, once water has arrived to your home, the disinfection products are no longer needed and there is no need for us to drink or bath in these chemicals, so the best option is to effectively reduce them by using a Coast Water Filter System. This can be a whole house system, so that you benefit from cleaner water for showering and bathing, or at the sink in the kitchen for drinking water and food prep.
Unpleasant taste and odour - When water tastes great, it’s much easier to ensure you are drinking your daily water target. Unfiltered tap water often comes with an unpleasant taste and odour caused by disinfection chemicals in the water catchment supply. Tank or river water can also give off distinct taste and odour due to local water conditions and pollutants. By using a Coast Water Filter system to filter your water, you effectively reduce unpleasant taste and odour.
Heavy metals, parasites, rust, dirt, sediment, turbidity - Using Coast Water Filter systems reduce the risk of ingesting harmful contaminants (such as parasites, giardia, cryptosporidium, and cysts) that occasionally survive the disinfection process in the water catchments areas. These contaminants can occasionally cause severe illness. By filtering tank water (rain or river water), you can improve water clarity by removing turbidity and contaminants like rust, dirt and sediment.
Pharmaceuticals and PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ - Australian town water supplies occasionally include recycled sewerage water, even more often during drought seasons when dam levels are low. Chemicals are used to treat the water and kill bacteria, though, this process doesn’t remove other contaminants - like pharmaceutical residue - that can be present. Testing has shown residue from illicit drugs, antibiotics, fertility and hormone treatments can often be found in the tap water Australian tap water. By using a Coast Water Filter System you can reduce the risk of consuming a large number of contaminants, including unnecessary pharmaceutical residues.
Fluoride - Cities and towns Australia wide, add fluoride to municipal water supplies. Many people prefer to avoid this particular type of fluoride. The most effective way to reduce fluoride in your water is by using reverse osmosis system (RO). There are also Fluoride reduction cartridges are also available for other systems but are not as effective as the RO systems.
