Clean Water for Healing Why Water Quality Matters
Water is the foundation of life - and it’s also the foundation of gut healing. If you’re following the GAPS Nutritional Protocol or simply wanting to support your family’s health, the quality of the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in is critical.
Tap water often contains fluoride, chlorine, heavy metals, chemicals, and bacteria. These can work against the healing process, burden the liver, and upset the delicate balance of the gut. By removing these toxins and replacing them with bio-available minerals, we give the body the clean, energised hydration it needs to thrive.
That’s why I’ve chosen to stock top of the range Waters Co filters - the only systems I trust in my own home and recommend to my clients.
Bench Top Filters
BIO 400 (5.25L) – For singles & couples
Compact, beautiful, and powerful. The BIO 400 delivers 13 stages of filtration and activation, removes up to 99.99% of fluoride, and adds back over 60 bio-organic minerals. With a hand-blown blue glass reservoir and a filter life of up to 4 years, it’s the perfect entry system for individuals and couples.
BIO 500/600 (7L) – For families
Everything the BIO 400 offers - with more capacity. The 7L model is ideal for families making daily stock and broth or households that drink lots of water. Fewer refills, more convenience, and the same unmatched purity.
Under Sink Filter
BioMax – The Gold Standard
The ultimate solution for families and serious health seekers. Installed under your sink with its own tap, the BioMax delivers unlimited on-demand fluoride-free, mineralised water without taking up bench space. If you’re committed to long-term GAPS or simply want the very best, this is my top recommendation.
Shower Filter
Shower Filter – For skin, hair & lungs
It’s not just about what you drink - it’s about what you bathe in. Chlorine and chemicals in shower water can irritate the skin, worsen eczema, and be inhaled through steam. This easy-to-install filter removes chlorine, heavy metals, and odours, leaving your skin and hair softer and healthier.
Julie’s Practitioner Recommendation
On the GAPS protocol, we reduce toxic load from every angle = and water is one of the biggest sources.
Here’s my recommendation:
Singles or couples starting GAPS → BIO 400 (5.25L)
Families cooking daily stock → BIO 500/600 (7L)
Busy households or long-term GAPS homes → BioMax (under sink, unlimited water)
Anyone with skin issues, eczema, or sensitivities → add a Shower Filter
Clean, mineral-rich water is one of the simplest but most powerful steps you can take to support gut healing, detox, and overall wellness.
Choose the filter that suits your lifestyle and household size, and know you’re investing in safe, energised water for life.
