Australians are becoming increasingly aware that what looks like clean drinking water may still contain invisible contaminants — including microplastics and long-lasting industrial chemicals such as PFAS.

Microplastics are defined as plastic particles smaller than five millimeters, but many found in water supplies are far smaller — often measured in microns, invisible to the naked eye, and small enough to pass through basic filtration systems. Some are similar in size to bacteria, while others are even smaller.

These particles enter water supplies through everyday sources such as plastic packaging, synthetic clothing fibres, household plumbing, and environmental breakdown of plastics. Once present, they are extremely difficult to remove without effective filtration.

Why Filter Design Matters

Not all water filters are created equal. The effectiveness of a filter depends on both physical filtration — which blocks particles — and adsorptive filtration, which captures chemical contaminants.

High-quality bench-top filtration systems that combine fine ceramic filtration with advanced carbon media can significantly reduce:

• Sediment and particulate matter
• Many forms of microplastics
• Bacteria and cysts
• PFAS and similar “forever chemicals”

While no household filter can claim absolute removal of every microscopic particle, well-designed systems are proven to dramatically reduce exposure to the contaminants most commonly found in tap water.
