Carbon water filters can remove contaminants that are in your water supply and often improve the health and safety of drinking water. However, the efficacy of carbon water filters will depend on:

a) the kind of carbon filter (conventional or activated)

b) whether the filtration system has been certified

c) the regularity with which you replace your filters.

As experts in water filtration systems for over 25 years we’ve outlined below the key points you need to understand the question, ‘Are carbon water filters safe?’.

Is Carbon in Water Filters Dangerous?

There are two kinds of carbon water filters available:

1. conventional carbon filters (made of granules) and;
2. activated carbon filters (made of fibres).

Activated carbon filters are more effective because their multistage system increases the surface area available for filtration. Conventional carbon filters can be less effective because the resins which bond the granules reduce the filtration surface.

Is Carbon Filtered Water Safe?

Health certifications define the safety of each filter system. Billi’s premium activated carbon filters boast the Australian Standards WaterMark for product safety and consumer confidence to ensure you and your family have the highest level of drinking water available.

Are Carbon Water Filters Good and Are Carbon Water Filters Safe?

As noted above, activated carbon filters have more efficacy, and independent health certifications are central to the health of a system.

However, a carbon filter is only as good as its filter replacement and maintenance program. All filtered drinking water systems require these to ensure optimal quality and an ongoing high level of performance.

A water dispenser is a great, environmentally friendly alternative to bottled water and gives you easy & convenient access to high-quality drinking water in your home or office. Below we list the benefits of having one of our water dispensers installed and what makes us one of the leading water dispenser companies in Australia.

Billi has carved a niche in the Australian market and globally, driven by over 30 years of dedication to crafting exceptional water dispensers. As an Australian-born brand, we take pride in our locally-made products. Our dispensers, known for their cutting-edge filtration systems, epitomise a blend of high functionality, peak performance, and sleek aesthetics. This commitment to innovation and design is evident across our diverse range of water dispensers available in Australia, here’s more information on why our dispensers are the best option for Australians.

Billi Australia: The Leading Water Dispenser Supplier

Our journey is marked by relentless innovation and an unwavering commitment to design excellence. At the core of our operations lies an in-house research and development team, consistently pushing the boundaries of water filtration technology out of our Melbourne headquarters. Billi’s dispensers not only boast the latest advancements but also feature space-efficient designs that don’t compromise on style.

Our selection includes modern, elegant dispensers that seamlessly integrate into your space. These under-bench systems, in particular, are designed to conserve bench-top space, boasting one of the smallest footprints in the market to minimise under-bench space consumption.

Limitations of Benchtop and Free-Standing Coolers

Though common in many settings, benchtop and free-standing water coolers often pose certain drawbacks:

• Space Consumption: They occupy valuable counter or floor space, which can clutter the area and disrupt the aesthetic flow of the environment.
• Maintenance Visibility: With all components in view, the wear and tear are more apparent, requiring more frequent cleaning to maintain appearances.

Revolutionary Water Filtration Technology

Billi’s technological prowess is highlighted by a suite of groundbreaking features, including:

• Heat exchange and energy reclaim technologies for increased efficiency and space-saving designs that don’t require ventilation
• Water-cooled and air-cooled systems
• Ice bank technology
• Eco-intelligence technology
• Customisable chilled temperature and sparkling water levels on relevant models
• Energy Efficiency: These models can be less energy-efficient, often lacking the advanced technologies that optimise power use.

World-Class Customer Service and Aftercare

A cornerstone of our reputation as a leading water dispenser company is our exceptional customer service and comprehensive aftercare support. Our range of service plans ensures your dispenser remains in optimal condition, delivering high-quality water consistently. Preventative maintenance is conducted by accredited technicians, who also handle filter replacements, guaranteeing the longevity and performance of your dispenser.

Automatic water tap sensors are a more efficient, safe and hygienic option than manual taps. They guarantee a reduction in water consumption and minimise the risk of potential flooding – making them ideal for both home and public bathroom settings.

What Are The Advantages Of Automatic Sensor Taps?

Contactless taps encourage water conservation by limiting wastage – another important benefit for modern bathrooms. Automatic sensor taps are the contactless concept brought to the bathroom and can prevent accidental activation of a tap, with plenty of benefits to public health. Automated sensors don’t require maintenance – they can last longer and remain clean – making them a more practical choice for busy bathrooms where hygiene is key.

What Applications Are Auto Sensor Water Taps Suitable For?

Auto sensor water taps are suitable for a wide range of applications, including hotels and homes. They can be wall-mounted or installed on the bench top. Auto sensor water taps are ideal for applications where hygiene is particularly important e.g. Medical, Food Preparation and Aged Care.

Choosing the Right Sensor Tap

When it comes to sensor taps, there are a lot of things to consider. You need to consider the environment you’re installing it in, who will be using it, and what type of tap you need. Let’s take a closer look at each of these factors.

• Environment: One of the most important things to consider when choosing a sensor tap is the environment, you’re installing it in. Is it going to be exposed to a lot of dirt and dust? Will it be used by people with disabilities? Choosing the right tap for your specific application is essential for ensuring its success.
• User: Another thing to think about is who will be using the sensor tap. All users, including those with disabilities, should be able to use an electronic tap without difficulty. Many different types of taps available can cater to all users, so finding the right one shouldn’t be too difficult.
• Type of Tap: Finally, you need to decide on the type of sensor tap you need. Depending on your needs, you may want a wall-mounted or bench-mounted tap. There are also many different types of taps available that range from simple manual taps to more advanced electronic taps with multiple sensors.

Innovative Automatic Hand Wash Tap Technology

Automatic hand wash tap technology is becoming more and more popular as people become more conscious of the need to save water and energy. Our automatic hand wash tap systems feature a unique electronic sensor built into the spout that automatically detects hand movement in the hand washing zone.

When hands are moved away from the hand washing zone, it automatically shuts off, reducing water wastage. The sensor can be wall or bench mounted, with the ability to run on batteries or mains power. There are a variety of finishes available for the Billi automatic hand wash tap, including Chrome, Brushed, Matte Black and Brushed Brass.

Our automatic water tap sensor range features sleek, modern designs. In addition to wall or bench-mounted automatic hand wash taps, we also have sensor soap dispensers that match the taps in our range for the ultimate bathroom & kitchen hygiene solutions. The automatic sensor bathroom taps in our range include:

• Bench-mounted sensor tap
• Wall-mounted auto sensor water tap
• Straight wall mounted automatic hand wash tap

Download the Sensor Tap Specification Sheet

If you’re interested in learning more about our sensor taps, you can download the specification sheets for each automatic hand wash sensor tap. This will give you all the information you need to know about water efficiency, energy conservation, and how to reduce your costs without compromising on quality or reliability. We also have installed guides for each product (ensure your automatic hand wash sensor tap is installed by a qualified tradesperson who will make sure it is installed correctly).

Billi continue to incorporate new technologies into our products so that you can enjoy comfortable and hygienic washrooms without having to worry about your water usage or energy consumption. Our auto sensor taps provide an easy way for you to control your costs and conserve resources without sacrificing performance or convenience.

Where To Buy Auto Sensor Water Taps

Our automatic hand wash sensor range is available at any of our Billi stockists which are located throughout Australia. You can speak to your local automatic hand wash tap experts who can help you determine the right automatic water tap sensor tap for your requirements.

Reducing the chlorine in your tap water can be achieved through the installation of an under-bench instant water filtration system such as our award-winning Eco and Quadra models. By applying our 25+ years of expertise in designing and manufacturing water filtration systems, we can explain the answer to the question, ‘how do you filter chlorine from water?’.

How Do You Filter Chlorine from Tap Water?

We utilise activated carbon fibre filters that offer a graded density profile and feature superior contaminant reduction performance and capacity. These filters contrast significantly with conventional carbon filters which are often held together with a resin that essentially decreases the surface area and therefore the amount of and quality of filtration.

How Many Microns Should My Filter Be?

The micron numbers associated with filters relate to the size of particles a filter can block. So the larger the number, the fewer particles that are filtered. For example, a 5 micron filter will block larger particles than a 0.5 micron filter. Billi’s smallest filter is a 0.2 micron filter which, in addition to reducing chlorine, organic chemicals can also remove parasitic cysts giardia and cryptosporidium as well as reduce heavy metals.

Our Premium Filters page provides more detail on how you filter chlorine from water.

One way to measure the level of filtration of a water filter is through a water filter micron rating. Below find out about water filter cartridge micron ratings including filter micron ratings.

For over 30 years Billi has been supplying Australian households with high-quality water filtration systems. Our products are Australian designed & made in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and feature the most advanced water filtration technology. Here is what is filtered out of your water based on the different filters and water filter cartridge micron ratings so you can determine what filter is best for your needs.

About Water Filter Cartridge Micron Ratings

Water filter cartridge micron ratings are determined by the size of the openings in a filter.

Smaller openings represent a smaller carbon filter micron rating and larger openings represent a higher carbon filter micron rating. The smaller the opening/water filter cartridge micron rating, the more a filter will remove from your water.

Our water filters are available in three filtration levels – HSD and 0.2 & 5 water filter cartridge micron ratings.

HSD Filter

The HSD filter removes:

• Chlorine
• Taste and odour

5 Micron Filter

The filter with a 5 carbon filter micron rating provides a standard filtration level, removing:

• Chlorine
• Taste and odour

0.2 Micron Filter

The filter with a 0.2 carbon filter micron rating provides the highest level of filtration, removing:

• Chlorine
• Taste and odour
• Parasitic cysts

Other Filters

For filter micron ratings, there are filters available that only filter out particles however the filters in our range filter out particles along with other contaminants ensuring higher water quality.

Using a high-quality filter not only improves the quality of your filtered water, but they usually last longer and provide a more consistent level of filtration.

During the filtration process, filters accumulate organic matter – which can lead to biofilm development.

Whilst the filters in our range have a 30,000-litre capacity (chlorine reduction), we do recommend replacing your cartridges every 12 months to ensure optimal water quality and operation.

If you are in an area that requires a higher level of water filtration or you have high usage, you may need to replace your filter more often.

Hard water is caused by a higher than usual concentration of calcium and magnesium salts in water. If you live in an area where hard water is a concern, a hard water filter will help to soften your water. Below is information on why our systems are suitable for use as hard water filtration systems.

For over 30 years Billi has been at the forefront of the instant filtered boiling and chilled water systems industry. Our products are celebrated for their combination of functionality, performance and contemporary aesthetics and are proudly Australian-made and designed. If you are looking for a water filter for hard water, here is info on the filters we use in our systems:

Hard Water Filtration Systems

In our systems, we use the highest quality filters for drinking water so they are suitable for use as hard water filtration systems. Our premium filters utilise unique Fibron X® technology created by BWT, Europe’s largest water treatment products company. This technology features a graded density profile ensuring maximum performance and capacity and provides superior drinking water quality and consistent filter life.

Our systems enable you to choose the filtration level that best suits your needs. Our 0.2-micron filter provides the highest level of filtration whilst our 5-micron filter provides a more standard level of filtration. Importantly, if you’re looking for a water filter for hard water, both the 0.2 micron and 5-micron filters enable minerals(e.g. fluoride which promotes better dental health) to flow through the appliance whilst preventing limescale build-up.

In addition to limescale, the 0.2-micron filters remove the following from your water:

• Particles
• Chlorine and organic chemicals
• Parasitic cysts including cryptosporidium & giardia
• Heavy metals

Our 5-micron filter provides a more standard option to improve drinking water, removing particles, chlorine and organic chemicals from your water, along with limescale. We do recommend replacing filters in our hard water filtration systems every 12 months to keep your unit running optimally, however some areas and higher usage sites may require filters to be changed more frequently.

One thing to note is that all our water filters for hard water also improve the taste and odour of your drinking water which can encourage users to drink water more often. Drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: it helps regulate body temperature, keeps our immune systems strong, delivers nutrients to cells, and keeps our organs functioning properly. In addition, staying well hydrated improves sleep quality, cognition and mood.
