Waters Co Water Filter Jugs compared
In the water filter jug category in our store, Waters Co Australia were the first brand and they are our premium option in store. They were the first water filter jug in Australia to successfully remove up to 99.99% of fluoride from your drinking water without the need for reverse osmosis and expensive equipment and a lot of time. Since then, others have come on to the market but they have a lower removal rate and Waters Co still comes out on top with the level of filtration in their filter systems.
At a glance, the two jugs you see above appear to be identical. They are not. The White Jug is the original AceBio Jug that has a mutli-piece filtration system and the jug comes with enough filter cartridge pieces to last you up to 2 years of filtration. Over the 2 years, it's cheaper to run than a Brita jug and produces far less plastic waste because is uses few cartridges to do it. The Black Jug is the new MyWaterJug (new to the range in 2020) with a 1 piece filtration system that is replaced every 3 months. Below, we'll give you a side by side comparison of the features of each of the jugs along with a comparison to the mini Waterman Pot.
HOW DO THE FILTERS DIFFER BETWEEN JUGS?

VOLUME
While the physical exterior of the two larger jugs are identical at just under 2 litres, the capacity to filter water in each of these jugs is determined by how much water the jug holds in the lower section. These jugs need all the water to be filtered through the top section and in to the jug before you tip it up to fill your glass or water bottle.- MyWaterJug has a 1.5 litre capacity
- AceBIO has a 1 litre capacity
- Waterman has a 600ml capacity
