Sparkling water used to be something you’d generally only have when you ordered it for the table when dining out. But now bottled water and carbonated water machines have made sparkling water much more accessible and consumed much more regularly – but, is sparkling water good for you?
The answer is, yes! Below we list the benefits of why sparkling water is a healthy choice and how our water filtration systems make sparkling water an even better option.
Billi has been at the forefront of the instant filtered boiling and chilled water systems industry for over 30 years. Our systems are proudly Australian-designed & made to strict quality standards in our state-of-the-art facilities in Melbourne. Our products are celebrated for their combination of functionality, performance and contemporary aesthetics whilst incorporating cutting-edge eco-technology. All our water systems come with an assurance of quality, innovation and sustainability. Here is why drinking sparkling water is good for you
Drinking Sparkling Water Benefits
If you’re wondering if drinking sparkling water is good for you, then here are some benefits that will leave you in doubt that sparkling water is a healthy option:
- Sparkling water is a healthy alternative to soft drinks. If you enjoy the crisp, refreshing sensation of having a bit of fizz in your drink, sparkling water provides this but without the added calories and sugar.
- Increases water intake. Because many people enjoy drinking sparkling water more than still water they often have a higher water intake if sparkling water is readily available to them.
- Research suggests that sparkling water may have a positive impact on bowel movements, especially for those suffering from constipation. Sparkling water may also reduce the severity of symptoms of indigestion such as stomach pain
- Another drinking sparkling water benefit is that it can help you lose weight. Sparkling water can often make you feel more full or satiated than you would compared to drinking standard water. Some studies have also indicated that carbonate water forces food to remain in your stomach for longer, which can also help you to feel fuller.
- Initial research has shown that drinking sparkling water may improve heart health by helping to reduce LDL cholesterol levels (bad cholesterol), blood sugar levels & inflammatory markers whilst increasing HDL cholesterol levels (the good cholesterol).
With all these drinking sparkling water benefits, it’s easy to see why drinking sparkling water is good for you! One thing to bear in mind though is that not all sparkling waters are equal. Some bottled sparkling waters have sugars or artificial sweeteners added to them so make sure you check this before consuming.
The good news is that our water filtration systems give you high-quality, filtered sparkling water, on tap! This makes sparkling water much more accessible, all the nasties from your water have been filtered out and it tastes great! Some of our systems even allow you to adjust the sparkling level to your liking.
Our systems are stored out of sight under your bench, you don’t have bottles of water cluttering up your fridge and they are much more sustainable and environmentally friendly as they minimise the need for single-use water bottles. You have fresh, sparkling water on tap for whenever you feel like a crisp cool glass of sparkling water – no more half-flat fizzy water in a plastic bottle too!
Drinking Sparkling Water Everyday: What You Need To Know
One of the reasons it is ok to drink sparkling water everyday is that it can increase the amount of water you’re drinking. We all know that staying hydrated is important for our health, but some struggle to drink the daily recommended water intake. If drinking sparkling water is your thing and it gets you drinking water – that’s a good thing! And sparkling water is a far better option than soft drinks. Many find it easier to reduce unhealthy sugar and calorie consumption by swapping out soft drinks for sparkling water instead.
Drinking sparkling water every day can also have other benefits too:
- Sparkling water may enhance digestion by improving swallowing ability and reducing constipation
- It can also increase feelings of fullness, compared to still water which may aid weight loss
- Some studies have indicated that sparkling water may lower bad cholesterol levels, inflammation and blood sugar levels whilst increasing good cholesterol levels which can help reduce the risk of heart disease
So, is it bad to drink sparkling water everyday? As you can see, there are some pretty good benefits to drinking sparkling water regularly. This all being said, some bottled sparkling waters do have sugars or artificial sweeteners added so if you are drinking sparkling water everyday, in particular bottled sparkling water, make sure you check the label before consuming. Pure sparkling water is best. And, did you know that our water filtration systems give you high-quality, filtered sparkling water on tap?
Enjoy great tasting, filtered sparkling water whenever you feel like a cool, bubbly, healthy refreshing drink without any nasties. The filters we use in our water filtration systems remove particles from your water, chlorine, parasitic cysts (including cryptosporidium & giardia), and heavy metals.
Our filters also enable minerals (the good stuff) to flow through the system without allowing limescale build-up. Some of our systems also allow you to adjust the sparkling level to your liking. Our systems are stored out of sight under your bench, you don’t have bottles of water cluttering up your fridge and they are much more sustainable and environmentally friendly as they minimise the need for single-use water bottles.

There are so many benefits to drinking plenty of water each day. Staying hydrated can positively impact your cognitive ability (improves memory, mood, concentration & reaction time), can assist with weight loss/management, can ease joint pain by keeping joints lubricated, regulate body temperature, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells and keep organs functioning properly. But if you don’t drink enough water, what do the effects of dehydration look like? Below we list the effects of not drinking enough water and how to tell if you’re dehydrated.
Billi has been at the forefront of the instant filtered boiling and chilled water systems industry for over 30 years. All our water filtration systems come with an assurance of quality, innovation & sustainability and are proudly Australian-designed & made to strict quality standards in our state-of-the-art facilities in Melbourne. Not sure if you’re drinking enough water and want to know how to tell if you’re dehydrated? Here are the effects of not drinking enough water and simple ways you can determine if you’re dehydrated
Effects Of Not Drinking Enough Water
We all know that staying hydrated is important for our health and well-being but if we’re not getting enough water into our bodies (which let’s face it, many of us aren’t), what are the actual effects of not drinking enough water?
One of the most common effects of not drinking enough water is fatigue. Being dehydrated can bring down your energy levels and make you sluggish. The amount of water you drink can also affect the quality of your sleep too. Other effects of dehydration can include:
- Urinary Tract Infections
- Kidney stones
- Cramps
- Digestive problems
- Stomach ulcers
At the end of the day, every cell in our body relies on water to perform optimally, so whilst there are specific effects of not drinking enough water, staying hydrated will ensure optimal overall health & wellbeing.
How To Tell If You’re Dehydrated
Dehydration can be caused by many different things – if you’re sick (i.e. fever, diarrhoea, vomiting), are sweating excessively or you’re urinating a lot ( (Diabetes and some medications can make you urinate more often) or you simply forget or don’t find drinking water enticing enough.
One of the easiest ways to tell if you’re dehydrated is to check the colour of your urine. Urine should be a pale yellow colour. If your urine is dark, that is a sign you may need to drink more water. Another way to tell if you’re dehydrated is to pinch the skin on your knuckle. If the skin goes down easily and quickly, then you are hydrated. If it takes a long time to go down, this could be a sign that you are dehydrated.
Other signs of dehydration include:
- You feel thirsty
- You aren’t urinating very often
- You feel tired or fatigued
- You have a dry mouth, lips and tongue
- Your eyes are sunken
The truth is, as important as staying hydrated is – many of us struggle to get in our recommended daily water intake. Often we hear from those that install one of our water filtration systems that their family’s water intake increases. Our systems use premium filters that not only mean you’re drinking the best quality drinking water, but it also tastes and smells better too. And, with instant boiling, chilled, still and sparkling water on tap, this can make drinking water more accessible and enticing too.
