The Water Co BIO 500 5.25 Litre Bench Top Water Filter is a premium gravity-fed filtration system designed for households and workplaces that want cleaner-tasting, mineral-rich water without plumbing or electricity. Built around Water Co’s most advanced bench-top technology, the BIO 500 combines high-capacity filtration with activation stages that enhance taste, freshness, and everyday hydration.
Featuring an unmatched 13 stages of sterilising, filtration, and activation, the BIO 500 gradually transforms ordinary tap water into great-tasting alkaline mineral water. As water passes through the multi-layer filter system, it works to reduce up to 99% of sediment, rust, bacteria, cysts, chlorine, heavy metals, fluoride, chemicals, and unpleasant odours, improving clarity and flavour while supporting consistent daily use.
The system includes a hand-blown blue glass reservoir, chosen not just for aesthetics but for function. Bio-ceramic components within the tank help maintain water freshness after filtration, while an alkaline diskette generates far-infrared energy during the activation stage. The result is water with a naturally balanced alkaline pH range of approximately 7.6–8.5, enriched with over 60 bio-organic trace minerals.
Designed for simplicity, the BIO 500 is easy to set up and operate. The gravity-fed design requires no power or tap connection — simply fill the upper chamber and allow the system to do the rest. With a 5.25-litre capacity, it suits family kitchens, shared offices, or anyone looking to reduce reliance on bottled water. Ongoing use is economical, delivering filtered water at around 3 cents per litre, making it a practical long-term hydration solution.
The included filter set is rated for up to 12,000 litres or up to 36 months of use (depending on water quality and usage), with optional filter reminder support available. Constructed from BPA, BPB, and BPS-free materials, and backed by a lifetime warranty, the Water Co BIO 500 is built for durability, safety, and everyday convenience.
