Comprising 50-80% of the human body, water is essential to your health. It aids digestion, flushes out toxins, and controls body temperature. These are just a few ways it supports your overall well-being.
For over 30 years, Billi has been delivering clean, filtered water to homes and businesses. Billi’s eco-conscious designs also make sustainability a priority, combining health and environmental responsibility.
Why Your Body Needs Water to Function
Hydration is essential for brain function, physical performance, and overall body regulation. Studies show that even mild dehydration can impair cognitive functions like concentration and memory.
Women need 2.1 litres of water a day, and men 2.6 litres, according to Eat for Health guidelines. These amounts improve brain function, keep joints healthy, and aid recovery after exercise. In essence, water is what keeps your body running smoothly.
What Happens When You Don’t Drink Enough Water?
Dehydration can cause headaches, and fatigue, and in severe cases, lead to more serious issues like kidney stones. Groups like athletes and older adults need to be particularly mindful of their water intake, as they’re more vulnerable to the effects of dehydration.
The Clean, Filtered Water Advantage
Hydration matters, but the quality of your water is equally crucial. Even in Australia tap water can contain all sorts of nasties like copper, lead, and cysts, which impact both flavour and health. Good filtered water removes these impurities while retaining essential minerals.
Billi’s systems deliver clean, crisp water for everyday use. Their advanced technology not only filters out harmful substances but also eliminates 99.999% of pathogens through filtration.

Does Drinking Water Help Clear Skin?
Although widely believed that drinking more water improves skin hydration, scientific evidence suggests that while water does help maintain skin elasticity, the impact on reducing wrinkles and acne remains unproven. This assumes that you’re already drinking enough water though, and studies have shown consuming over 2 litres of water daily can positively impact skin moisture and elasticity.
Stay Hydrated with Billi’s Clean, Filtered Water
Water keeps your body functioning, from brain performance to skin clarity. Dehydration leads to short-term problems like fatigue and long-term health risks. Clean, filtered water helps you avoid these issues.
Billi’s advanced filtration systems make hydration simple. With cutting-edge technology, you’ll enjoy the cleanest, safest water every day. Explore Billi’s product range here to find the perfect hydration solution for your home or business.
Between 50-80% of the human body is made up of water so it’s easy to see why drinking enough is so important. Though as an estimated 80% of all diseases and 50% of child deaths worldwide are related to poor water quality and sanitation, it’s not just about how much water you drink—its quality can be even more important in your overall health.
This article explores five key facts about water nutrition and shows how Billi’s advanced filtration and sparkling water systems offer the best possible hydration for both your health and the environment.
Fact 1: Water Supports Crucial Bodily Functions
Water powers many essential processes in your body, including digestion, nutrient transportation, and waste elimination. It also plays a critical role in regulating body temperature. Mild dehydration can disrupt these functions, leading to fatigue and decreased mental clarity.
Australian guidelines recommend drinking 2-2.5 litres of water a day to stay properly hydrated. Without clean water, your body struggles to maintain its essential functions.
Fact 2: Tap Water Often Contains Harmful Contaminants
While many trust their tap water, studies show it often contains harmful contaminants like lead, chlorine, and parasitic cysts. In fact, according to one study, almost 100% of tap water samples in New South Wales contained copper and 56% contained lead, with levels exceeding Australian Drinking Water Guidelines in some cases. Over time, these substances can negatively impact your health and also affect the taste and smell of your water.
Billi’s filtration technology ensures that your water is clean but retains key minerals like calcium and magnesium that your body needs to function at its best.
Fact 3: Sparkling Water Is a Healthy, Zero-Calorie Option
Many people enjoy bubbles in their drinks but worry about the calories in soda water or the carbs in soda water, with high-quality, homemade sparkling water from your Billi system this thankfully isn’t an issue and studies have even shown drinking sparkling water can improve cholesterol levels.
Billi’s systems also offer customisable carbonation levels, allowing you to control the fizz and enjoy your water exactly how you like it. Plus, by using a home sparkling water system, you eliminate the need for single-use plastic bottles, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
Fact 4: Billi’s Filtration Systems Keep the Good and Remove the Bad
Billi’s advanced filtration technology removes harmful contaminants like chlorine while retaining important minerals such as calcium and magnesium. These minerals are vital for bone health, muscle function, and overall wellbeing.
In addition, Billi filters eliminates 99.999% of harmful bacteria and viruses, making your water both safe and nutrient-rich. This combination of technologies ensures that your water is not just clean but optimised for your health.
Fact 5: Filtered Water Supports Both Health and the Environment
Filtered water offers a range of health benefits by removing harmful chemicals while preserving beneficial minerals. It’s far better than tap water for hydration and ensures your body gets the nutrients it needs without any contaminants.
Using filtration systems at home can drastically reduce the need for bottled water, reducing plastic waste. This shift is beneficial for both health and the environment, as it cuts down on single-use plastic bottles and ensures access to cleaner, mineral-rich water.

Hydration as the Secret to Productivity
Without adequate hydration, both mental clarity and physical stamina drop. Keeping employees hydrated reduces the chances of burnout and helps maintain a steady workflow as dehydration, even if mild, can leave employees feeling sluggish and impact their ability to perform.
Setting daily or weekly goals for your team to reach their minimum recommended hydration goals can be a great way to gamify their wellbeing and encourage buying.
Convenient Hydration Stations for a Healthier Team
Another great way to encourage hydration is by removing barriers to accessing great water. Installing hydration stations is an easy way to encourage regular water intake, and Billi’s Omione, Quadra and Eco Sparkling systems offer instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water, giving employees their pick of healthy options stay refreshed all day long.
Healthier Water, Healthier People
Billi’s filtration technology eliminates harmful contaminants like chlorine and lead, delivering safe, great-tasting water that boosts employee health. Offices with filtered water can potentially see fewer sick days and higher engagement.

Hydration Stations as Social Hubs in the Workplace
These hydration points serve a dual purpose: they keep your team hydrated and provide a natural space for informal chats. These moments of connection can reduce stress, improve morale, and foster collaboration, all of which contribute to a healthier work environment.
Eco-friendly Office Kitchens for Modern Workforces
Sustainability is increasingly important to both businesses and their employees. Offering eco-friendly hydration solutions shows corporate responsibility and lowers environmental impact.

With Billi’s extensive tap range, there’s no need to compromise on style or practicality. Let’s explore the different types of taps and handles available, with a special focus on Billi’s innovative Multifunction Mixer Tap.
The Types Of Taps And Handles In The Billi Range
We offer two main types of taps in our range – the round or square slimline taps (available with the Billi Home C, Billi Home CS and Billi Home FT) and the more solid & compact B series taps. We also have an extended height square slimline tap which can make filling bottles and jugs easier too.
The B series taps are a lot shorter so can be considered less prominent or more out of sight and as these taps all come with the filtered boiling water option, some find them safer to use as well. However, all of the different types of tap handles and types of taps in our range have been designed with safety and ease of use in mind.
They are also all designed to compliment your home’s aesthetic and are available in a wide range of finishes to match any colour scheme – these include:

Billi Handle Options
The fun doesn’t stop at finishes, we have four main types of handles to choose from to suit every space:
- For high-use areas, the XL lever tap provides intuitive controls that are easy for anyone to operate. (available with the Home BC, Home BCS and Home BA)
- The XT Touch dispenser offers touch-sensitive operation for enhanced accessibility (available with the Home BA model)
- Single-levered handles available with our slimline taps
- Dual-lever handles (available with the Billi Home CS)
Other Dispenser Options
Slimline Taps for Compact Spaces
You’ve seen our iconic dispensers but there are other options for spaces with specific aesthetic or access requirements. Billi’s slimline taps cater to modern spaces where counter space is limited. Available in both round and square profiles, these taps seamlessly blend into minimalist designs. Finishes like chrome, matte black, and brushed chrome help them integrate effortlessly with any kitchen or workspace.
Square, Paddle, and Gooseneck Standalone Taps
Billi also offers standalone mixer taps, including the square mixer tap and paddle-levered mixer tap, that complement their water filtration systems. These taps provide design flexibility without compromising on performance, making them ideal for those seeking both sleek aesthetics and usability.
The gooseneck mixer tap is perfect for those needing extra clearance for filling large pots and containers. Its high-arching spout offers ample room, while the elegant design adds a modern touch.
The Innovative Multifunction Mixer
At the heart of Billi’s tap range is the Multifunction Mixer Tap, a breakthrough in both form and function. Designed to be a centrepiece of modern kitchens and compact spaces, this tap seamlessly blends mains-fed hot and cold water with instant filtered boiling, chilled, and sparkling options—all in one compact, elegant unit.
This multifunctionality makes our latest tap a space-saving solution that reduces clutter by eliminating the need for separate filtered and unfiltered fixtures. Whether you need chilled sparkling water for refreshments, boiling water for cooking, or regular unfiltered water for washing up, the Multifunction Mixer Tap covers it all.
As if looking great and providing access to 5 types of water from one fitting wasn’t enough, the Multifunction Mixer Tap’s ergonomic controls are equipped with built-in safety features like colour-coded indicators to prevent accidental boiling water dispensing. Its compact, intuitive, and safe design makes it excellent in all home and high-traffic environments while a choice of eight finishes makes it easy to match any interior.
