Struggling to hit my New Year goal of drinking one to two litres of water each day, I wrote this post to explore the common reasons for not drinking enough water; and find some practical ways to overcome them!

It seems filtered water is on a lot of minds as we've had a spike in questions from our community.  Many want to improve the taste and health while avoiding disposable plastic bottles, so we've covered that below too.

Choose from stainless steel or plastic bottles, squeeze bottle and straws.

Filters bacteria (like E. coli and Salmonella), parasites (such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium), microplastics, sand, dirt, and cloudiness.  Improves taste.

You can literally take murky water from a stream and turn it drinkable!

Screw on tap fitting makes it easy to fill the kettle, cooking pots and your water bottle.

Carbon filter removes over 90 contaminants, including heavy metals, chlorine and microplastics.  Improves taste.

The O.G. of filters with 10-stage filtration that also adds back minerals, ionises and magnetises water.  Best tasting water - check the reviews!

Note that the Water Filter Jug has a high price, but it comes with filters that last two years!  The jug is also known for filtering very quickly, so you can use it in the kitchen for cooking and the kettle.

A 20 second cycle of PureVis UV-C light is enough to eliminate up to 99% of bio-contaminants including bacteria such as harmful E. coli varieties. Needs an added filter cap to then remove chlorine and improve taste.

Most of the water filter solutions available at Biome will remove tiny plastic fibres from water because these filters are capable of removing particles down to 0.5 microns in size.
