5 Reasons You Should Be Cooking with Filtered Water

Healthy water is the number one ingredient in healthy meals, and a kitchen tap with filtered water is the easiest way to make sure your family has access to the best quality water possible.  

Is it healthy to cook with tap water?

Tap water varies greatly in quality, depending on the source of the water.  

Town supply water is often full of water treatment chemicals such as chlorine. While this helps the water reach at least the minimum safety requirements, it can still be a less healthy option than filtered water.  

If your water supply comes from rooftop rainwater, a lake or bore, it can be tainted with unsafe levels of water contaminants. You may even have brown tap water.  

What happens if you cook in tap water?

Cooking with chlorinated water can negatively impact the taste of your food. It can also affect the way some ingredients work, such as yeast for homemade bread.  

If your water source is contaminated with water pollutants, bacteria or viruses, cooking may not remove these. This puts you at risk of becoming sick from the water.  

Why is it good to filter the water used in food preparation and cooking?

Water from tap water filters tastes better

Filtered water is the best choice for meal preparation because it tastes good.  

Your ingredients will work as expected and there will be no strange metallic or earthy taste to the dish.  

Water from filtered water systems makes healthier meals

Ensuring that the water you use for cooking is free from nasties, heavy metals, chemicals and other forms of contamination helps produce a healthy meal for the ones you love.  

 A filtered water tap ensures bacteria-free food

Water from rooftop rainwater tanks, dams and bores is often contaminated with dangerous levels of bacteria such as E.coli. This can make your family very sick, with young children, the elderly and immune-compromised individuals especially vulnerable.   

Filtered water solutions are less expensive than you may think

Do you need safe water for your family but worry about the price? You may be surprised at how affordable a tap water filter system can be.  

Using a filter for tap water provides water with fewer Chemicals and Contaminants

Chemical-free water is widely regarded as the healthiest choice. Using a filter gives you the benefits of safe water without the need to ingest chemicals each day.
