What happens to the water after it leaves the treatment plant?
Most families think the water from the tap is the same clean water that left the plant. Australian science shows a different picture.

100% of the Australian water supply is treated with chlorine by law. That's the right call for public safety. But the residual stays in the water once it reaches your tap, your hair and your skin. Worth knowing so you can better look after the people you love.

there's water.

What families are saying
"Installed it three months ago and the difference in my hair has been noticeable, less dry, especially at the ends. Not sure if it was the chlorine or something else, but I actually enjoy showering again."
"The water at home always had a faintly metallic taste. With the purifier, that taste has simply gone. I'm drinking more water now because I can't taste anything off."
"Our daughter has quite sensitive skin. Since fitting the filter, shower time has been far more comfortable for her. Quality product, well packaged, and the install was simple."
"Bought it after reading the articles on the site. That's what won me over. The unit feels solid and the cartridge swap is quick. The water genuinely tastes different. Would recommend."
"I was sceptical at first, but the difference in the shower water's smell was immediate. That chlorine smell that used to linger just isn't there anymore."
"Bought this for my mum who lives alone. Installed in under 5 minutes. She was rapt. Said the water felt much 'softer'. Getting one for myself next."
The water entering your home has already come a long way.
Aquessence steps in where it can still be improved.
Different problems call for different technologies. We've built a system that works right where the water has already reached you, before it touches your family.
What builds up in the pipes doesn't need to end up in your glass.
Dual-stage filtration traps sediment from 1 to 5 microns before it reaches you, including rust and other deposits common in household plumbing.
Less of what you don't want. More of the taste you'd expect from water.
Activated carbon and KDF-55 reduce residual free chlorine, with no drop in pressure, no added substances and no compromise to microbiological safety.
What you can't see deserves a barrier too.
UV acts directly on microorganisms' DNA without adding any substance to the water, recognised by health agencies as an effective method of disinfection.

🚿 Aquessence™ Filtered Shower Head
Better water in the shower.
Because caring for your skin and hair starts before the shampoo.
You choose what you put on your skin and hair every day. But before the shampoo, the conditioner and the skincare, there's something that's already touched all of them: the water.
The Aquessence™ Filtered Shower Head combines three technologies to reduce chlorine, heavy metals, sediment and other impurities before the water touches you.
THREE TECHNOLOGIES. ONE BETTER WATER.
Helps reduce chlorine, odours and unwanted compounds present in the water.
Helps reduce chlorine and certain heavy metals present in the water.
Helps reduce residual chlorine, including in hot shower water.
Less chlorine and fewer impurities. Water that feels better on your skin and hair.
Before the shampoo, the conditioner and the skincare, there's the water.
LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SHOWER FILTER →Frequently asked questions
The Aquessence filter is compatible with standard Australian shower connections (1/2" BSP thread, the most common type). If you're not sure, send our support team a photo of your shower and we'll confirm compatibility before you buy.
Installation takes 3 to 5 minutes and doesn't need any tools or a plumber. It's simple: remove your existing shower head, connect the Aquessence filter in its place, then clip the shower head back on. We include a detailed installation guide in the box, plus a step-by-step video on our website.
The shower filter cartridge lasts around 6 months with normal daily use. The UV purifier cartridge lasts between 3 and 6 months depending on how much water is filtered. Swapping it takes under 2 minutes, and replacement cartridges are available on our site.
Ultraviolet (UV) light deactivates bacteria, viruses and protozoa by acting directly on microorganisms' DNA, without adding any chemical substance to the water. It's the same method used in hospitals, municipal purification systems and endorsed by the WHO. Completely safe for the whole family, including kids and babies.
No. The Aquessence filter is designed to maintain normal shower pressure. With the cartridge in good condition, you won't notice any difference in pressure. If pressure drops noticeably, that's a sign the cartridge has reached the end of its life and needs replacing.
Yes. The Aquessence filter connects and disconnects without modifying any part of the existing plumbing. When you move, just take the filter with you. No drilling, no adhesive, no permanent changes. Perfect for renters and holiday lets.
They're complementary products for different uses. The shower filter treats your shower water and reduces chlorine, sediment and metals to protect skin and hair. The UV purifier is for drinking water (kitchen tap, food prep, drinking) and adds UV treatment that deactivates microorganisms. Together, they cover every point where your family comes into contact with water.
If you're not happy for any reason within the first 30 days, we'll refund 100% of what you paid, no questions asked. Just get in touch with our support team. Every Aquessence product also comes with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Do you usually take care of things before a problem shows up?
With food, skin, sleep, check-ups: you already make choices with your wellbeing in mind.
So why would water be any different?
Aquessence is a simple choice for anyone who believes caring also means preventing.
Why filter my water?
Australian mains water is disinfected with chlorine - by law, and for good reason.¹ But chlorine is drying, and it’s still in the water when it reaches your skin and hair. On older pipe runs, water can also pick up rust and fine sediment along the way.
AQUESSENCE is built to reduce free chlorine and filter that sediment, at the last point before the water touches you.²
It all started at home
For years, we believed some things were just part of who our family was.
Until a house move, six months, and an unexpected difference made us look at something we'd never once questioned: the water.
What started as a question led us to investigate the water in our own home and, later on, gave rise to Aquessence.
AQUESSENCE is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease.
This product reduces free chlorine and filters rust and sediment (1–5 microns). It is not designed to remove PFAS, dissolved heavy metals, or water hardness. Cartridge life varies with household size, shower length, and local water quality.
