Better Water Quality: A Guide to Specifying Water Filtration Systems for Health and Wellbeing

Access to clean, fresh water is fundamental to living a healthy life.

Due to the changing climate, rising pollution levels and Australia’s rapidly growing population, the demand for clean drinking water has never been higher.

The government has a duty to provide Australians with safe drinking water, but despite their best efforts,
water quality at the point of consumption may not always be beneficial to our short or long-term health goals.

Tap water can contain many impurities, both natural and artificial. Some are harmless, only affecting the way water looks, tastes or smells. However, other contaminants can spread infection, or slowly damage the health of end users over time.

Filtering tap water ensures you have a safe, clean water supply, with obvious benefits to health and wellbeing. Filtering tap water can decrease exposure to the numerous known carcinogens and chemicals in tap water. It also improves the taste and smell of tap water, encouraging users to drink water more often.

For these reasons, many Australians are considering water filtration systems to meet basic hydration needs. There is a wide variety of water filtration solutions on the market, but relatively little awareness in relation to what contaminants are removed by different filter types, and the life expectancies of filtration systems.

When choosing a water filtration system, the main considerations relate to the type of contaminants that
need to be removed from the water, and how much drinking water is needed everyday. Water filtration
systems for the home will have different capacity and flow requirements than commercial units, for example.

Billi Water Filters

Billi prides itself on offering world class water filtration products and continues to partner with global leading experts in all areas of water filtration.

Partnering with BWT, Europe’s largest water treatment products company, Billi’s range of premium filters utilise the unique Fibron X technology. Fibron X technology uses activated carbon fibre with minimal bonding agents in a graded density profile. Due to this structure, Fibron X media has a superior contaminant reduction performance and capacity than conventional water filters.

This advanced multi-stage filtration system filters out particles in water reduces chlorine and organic chemicals and enables minerals to flow through the appliance without allowing scale. Certain high performance models can remove parasitic cysts Giardia and Cryptosporidium (994052 and 994060 only), and reduce lead and heavy metals (994052 and 994060 only).

Billi filters have been independently tested and certified by IAPMO to international standards and Australian Watermark. Billi filter performance testing is conducted in accordance with international
standards NSF, WRAS, and Watermark.

Billi’s range of filters allows you to select the right filtration solution for your needs. The company’s 0.2 micron fi lter provides the highest level of filtration. The 5 micron filter provides a more standard option to improve your drinking water by removing sediment, chlorine and limescale which in turns improves taste and odour.

The Billi range offers a solution that can cater to any home or work environment.
Genuine replacement Billi filters are available on their website and from your local approved supplier. Billi also offers extensive customer support and service plans to suit customers’ requirements.

To make maintenance even easier, all Billi filters contain a digital protection device to ensure single use, hygiene and an ability to monitor water volume throughput.
