Gravity Water Filter by Grounded Kiwi
It might seem a bit over the top at first, but this super-simple addition to your kitchen bench can make a massive difference to your daily and overall well-being for you and your family —the humble yet mighty Gravity Water Filter & Water Purifier.
If you're a health-conscious Kiwi like me, you simply must be concerned about the quality of the water that you are drinking. TBH, I personally don't even consider the stuff that comes out of the tap as 'water'. Yes, I am super grateful that we have this luxury of the fluid that is piped to our homes, but honestly, I feel that we have lost our way in how to treat the stuff. Adding chemicals and electrically pumping the stuff down KM's of rusty pipes is great in all, but you simply must take some action to make this fluid back into loving water. Using a water filter in some way, shape, or form is a must.
Our Grounded Kiwi 9L gravity filter will turn your water back into the health-enforcing form and be there ready to go as and when you need it.
The Thing About Our Tap Water...
Over a day, a month, and a year, our tap water can be a 'Trojan horse' for things we'd rather not be drinking. While our water treatment plants do an amazing job to provide water for the masses, they often use chemicals like chlorine to kill bacteria in a 'cheap and affordable way'. That chlorine can leave an unpleasant taste and smell, and some research suggests that long-term consumption of its by-products might not be ideal for our gut and overall health. (to put it in 'dont get cancelled kinda way here)
Additionally, our water can contain heavy metals from old pipes, and even trace amounts of things like pesticides and pharmaceuticals. You may not know this about me, but I was a firefighter for 18 years and I can tell you that as someone who use to use the water hydrants, which is the same pipe as our drinking water, there were days when we would look at each other with a puzzled look as a brown and rusty sludge of muck came out of the pipe!
Microplastics - Believe it or not, a recent study from Massey University found that New Zealand's tap water is even contaminated with tiny bits of plastic called microplastics. This build-up isn't just a bit "yucky"—it can actually impact your health.
The Simple Solution: Gravity Water Filter NZ
That's where our handy and easy-to-use Gravity Water Filter comes in. Think of it like a natural spring that you've brought right into your kitchen, with water on demand for when you need it. You simply pour tap water into the top chamber, and gravity does all the work. The water slowly trickles down through two powerful activated coconut carbon purification elements, which act as a super-fine sieve, filtering out the nasties. The result? Perfectly pure, delicious water in the lower chamber, ready for you to drink. Heck, even the act of water sitting still in situ has been shown to help the water be better for you on a molecular level. The poor water that goes through massive pumps and is squished and thrown about through pipes until spilling into your glass, yeah, this isn't great for healthy water. Can you believe?
Why Our Water Filter, You Ask?
This isn't just any old filter; it's designed for fast, effective, and gentle cleaning. Made from food-grade stainless steel, it's a real beauty and feels pretty good to use. The difference it makes to the taste of your water is apparent from the very first sip and I can tell you that our three boys have greatly increased the amount of water they consume due to this one fact.
Here's what makes ours stand out:
- Pure, Clean Water: Our dual carbon purification elements remove up to 99.99% of harmful bacteria, heavy metals, and chemicals. This means less chlorine, fluoride, and other contaminants ending up in your glass.
- Generous Capacity: With a 9-litre capacity, you'll have plenty of clean water for the whole whānau without constant refilling. Just refill the top compartment and as it trickles down into the bottom, the sight glass will keep you informed on the amount of filtered water available.
- Smart Design: It comes with a sturdy stand and a handy sight glass so you can always see how much water is left. You dont need to use the stand if you don't want to. Many of our customers use this system as a water filter in their mobile homes.
- Natural & Sustainable: No electricity needed! It's a simple, low-tech solution that is also way better for Papatūānuku (Mother Earth) than buying and recycling plastic water bottles.
- Emergency preparedness: What happens if the power goes out? Or what happens in the case that happened here in New Plymouth, where a tree fell and took out the town's water supply in one shot! Having the ability to filter water is a non-negotiable.
So, what's in it for you? Loads, actually!
- Taste Buds, Reawakened: Ever feel like your water just doesn't quite taste "clean"? That's because the build-up of chemicals can dull your taste buds. Clear it away with our filter, and you'll be amazed at how much more you enjoy the simple, crisp taste of pure H2O! Pair this with our tongue scraper, and your taste buds will be singing again!
