There’s no denying that buying bottled water feels convenient at the moment, but in the long haul, it’s doing a number on your wallet and the planet. Plastic bottles pile up, costs creep in, and suddenly, your “healthy habit” isn’t feeling quite so good anymore.
At Earths Water, we do things differently. Our filters are designed to go the extra mile—made with durable, high-quality materials, engineered for longevity, and created with your health in mind. Not only that, they can also save you serious cash in the long run, and reduce plastic waste that’s clogging up oceans and landfills.
Here’s how our durable, long-lasting products make it easy to save money and do right by the planet, all while keeping your water fresh, healthy, and delicious.
What Makes Our Filters So Durable?
Well, there’s no secret ingredient—just smarter material choices. Here’s how each product holds up through daily life:
Glass Benchtop and Carafe Filters
Material: Borosilicate glass + natural bamboo
Why it lasts: Borosilicate glass is heat and impact-resistant, meaning it doesn’t crack under pressure—literally. It also won’t leach chemicals like cheap plastics. The bamboo accents? 100% natural and durable enough to outlast trends and weather.
Glass Benchtop Eco Acacia
Material: Sustainably-sourced acacia timber
Why it lasts: Acacia is a hardwood known for its strength, durability, and being water-resistant. Added bonus? It looks stunning on your kitchen counter.
Water Filter Jugs
Materials: Recyclable, BPA-free plastic
Why it lasts: Designed to survive daily kitchen chaos, even with little hands involved.
Ultra Water Filter Bottles
Material: BPA-free Tritan plastic
Why it lasts: Tritan is lightweight, durable, and doesn’t leach chemicals. It’s perfect for everyday use, even on your clumsiest days.
Stainless Steel Water Filter Bottles
Material: Premium stainless steel
Why it lasts: Rust-resistant, dent-resistant, and stylish enough to take anywhere. It’s also reusable for years, immune to warping from heat or cold, and offers top-tier insulation and unbreakable durability.
Premium Shower Filters
Material: Aluminium alloy
Why it lasts: Tough as nails. This material resists corrosion from moisture and keeps your showers fresh and looking fabulous.
And, of course, every single Earths Water product is made with 100% BPA-free construction, because we believe durable should never mean toxic.
What Bottled Water Really Costs You
Still grabbing bottled water at your weekly shop? You’re not alone, but it adds up quickly. Here in Australia, the average person spends around $580 per year on bottled water. That’s over $2300 in just four years, and that’s if you’re buying basic brands, not the fancy mountain-sourced stuff.
Compare That with an Earths Water Setup:
Earths Water filters cost cents per litre and can last for months before needing a replacement.
-
Initial filter setup: starts at $99 (depending on product)
-
Replacement filter cartridges: From $90 per year (with bundle/subscription discounts)
-
Total for 4 years: Around $700
That’s savings of up to $1,600. Imagine what you could do with that kind of spare change—weekend getaway, fancy dinners, or finally upgrading one of your home appliances.
Hidden Costs You Avoid
Health Costs from Poor Water Quality
Even tap water can carry unwanted extras like chlorine, heavy metals, and microplastics. These nasties may contribute to things like skin flare-ups, gut issues, or just that lingering unpleasant taste.
Earths Water filters help reduce your exposure so you’re not only sipping cleaner water, but potentially skipping a few extra trips to the GP. Pretty impressive for something that lives on your kitchen bench or in your gym bag.
Appliance Wear & Tear
Filtered water also means fewer limescale build-ups in your kettle, coffee machine, dishwasher, and even your shower head. Think of it as a shield for your appliances—fewer breakdowns, fewer repairs, and more money in your pocket.
What About the Environment?
Glad you asked.
Each Filter Saves Hundreds of Bottles
Switching to a filter bottle or jug can save up to 2800 single-use plastic bottles per year (based on suggested filter replacement frequency). Multiply that by your household and suddenly you’re making a real dent in Australia’s 373 million-bottle habit.
By switching to reusable filters and bottles, you’re cutting down dramatically on your personal plastic footprint without sacrificing convenience. And if more of us made the switch? Well, that’s when things get exciting.
Less Plastic, Cleaner Oceans
Only 13% of plastic is properly recycled in Australia. The rest? Much of it ends up in landfill—or worse, the ocean. Around 130,000 tonnes of plastic wash into the sea each year, and yep—bottles are a big part of that.
Those bottles break down into microplastics that sneak into fish, salt, and even your food. Using Earths Water filters helps cut plastic at the source—less bought, less binned, less polluting.
Lower Carbon Footprint
Bottled water doesn’t just waste plastic—it guzzles energy. Think bottling, transporting, storing, refrigerating… all for something that already flows from your tap.
With Earths Water? You refill, you filter, and that’s it. No freight emissions. No single-use packaging. Just cleaner water with a lighter footprint.
Still Using Cheap Plastic Filters?
Let’s be honest: the bargain bin filter you picked up at the supermarket might work for a month or two, but it’s not built to last. Let’s compare why Earths Water filters are definitely the best choice:
And let’s not forget—they look good too. From glass benchtop beauties to sleek stainless steel bottles, our filters fit seamlessly into your lifestyle while helping you save money and protect the planet.
Ready to Drink Smarter and Save More?
You don’t need a complete lifestyle overhaul to make a real impact. Sometimes, the game-changer is as simple as switching from disposable bottles to something more durable, practical, and planet-friendly.
When you choose Earths Water, you’re investing in better hydration, fewer plastic bottles, and long-term savings (for you and the environment). It’s hydration that works harder, lasts longer, and feels better every day.
