Many people on the Gold Coast agree that sometimes the tap water tastes a little like a swimming pool. This is probably because they are receiving water that has been treated with chemicals. Tap water is disinfected before it’s sent out to your home, and it’s the chlorine that kills the harmful water-borne organisms. By installing a home water filter you can say goodbye to poor-tasting tap water and expensive bottled water alternatives for good!
Delicious water is available!
Having a water filter on the Gold Coast drastically improves the quality and taste of your water by removing chlorine and other contaminants.
According to SEQwater, Gold Coast water comes from the Hinze and Little Nerang dam, which is treated at the Molendinar, Tugun and Mudgeeraba water treatment plants.
Water treatment plants usually add chlorine, fluoride and other chemical additives to kill the bacteria and bugs in the water. Then, the water flows through miles of pipes before it reaches your place.
At that point, your drinking water could have picked up all sorts of bacteria, plastics, metals, chemicals and even traces of pharmaceutical drugs. All these contaminants in our water are gradually making people sick, but there are very simple solutions.
Is Gold Coast Water Clean?
Even though our drinking water goes through a range of filtration stages before getting to us, there are up to 300 contaminants commonly found in our Gold Coast water supply. Unfortunately, many of these contaminants are not monitored by the government or the council.
In some cases, there can even be harmful microplastics and traces of heavy metals, including lead, which can cause long-lasting and devastating health problems. No matter where you are on the Gold Coast and what type of water you use, we can help you improve the taste and quality of your water so your family is as happy and healthy as possible.
