For couples trying to conceive
You're tracking everything. Are you tracking your water?
You count the days, time the window, and clean up every input you can think of. But the tap water you both drink every day carries two things it was never treated to remove: forever chemicals and microplastics. And researchers keep finding them exactly where a couple trying to conceive would least want them.
The protocol you already run
You've optimised every input but one.
If you're TTC, you've already built a routine. Look how much you've both locked in.
Her side
- Prenatal + methylfolate
- CoQ10 & antioxidants
- Cut alcohol
- Cleaned up skincare
- Cycle & LH tracking
His side
- Zinc & antioxidants
- Cut alcohol
- Laptop off the lap
- Swapped grooming products
- Sleep dialled in
It's the one input in the house you both share, litres of it, every single day, and the only one you've never measured.
What the studies keep finding
Two contaminants. Both showing up in the wrong places.
This isn't about scaring you off water. It's that two specific contaminants behave in ways that matter more when you're trying to conceive, and standard treatment isn't designed to remove either.
- Forever chemicals have been linked in research to reduced fertility and a longer time to conceive, in both partners.
- Microplastics have now been detected in human ovarian follicular fluid and in semen, the two places conception actually begins.
- They build up. Forever chemicals accumulate in the body over years, so your baseline load matters before you even start trying.
- Mains water isn't treated to remove them. Water company treatment targets safety and bacteria, not forever chemicals or plastic.
You can't undo the packaging, the air, or the years already behind you.
You can decide what comes out of your taps from today. For a couple counting every controllable input, that's a big one to leave on the table.
Before you reach for the obvious answer
Bottled water and jug filters feel like the fix. They're not.
- Bottled water is one of the most plastic-exposed drinks there is. Studies have found hundreds of thousands of plastic particles per litre in popular bottled brands.
- Supermarket jug filters mostly improve taste and chlorine. Most don't touch forever chemicals, fluoride or heavy metals at all, and independent testing has shown that many of these filters can actually increase heavy metal contamination such as aluminium by significant margins.
- Boiling kills bacteria, but it does nothing to forever chemicals or microplastics, and if anything it concentrates them.
Removing forever chemicals and microplastics takes real, multi-stage filtration, not a plastic jug.
The easy options were never built for the two contaminants you actually care about.

The Waters Co difference
One bench top filter. The input you can finally tick off.
The BIO 500 MAX runs your tap water through 13 stages of filtration, removing up to 99% of the contaminants a jug leaves behind and filtering microplastics down to 0.1 microns, then gently re-mineralising what's left into a 7 litre hand-blown glass reservoir. So the water you're both drinking litres of every day works with your protocol, not quietly against it.
- Targets forever chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, the contaminants research keeps raising in fertility studies.
- Filters microplastics to 0.1 microns, plus chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals and bacteria in one pass.
- Adds 60+ trace minerals back at a mild alkaline pH of 7.6 to 8.5, so your water enriches rather than just strips.
- One filter for the whole household, so you're both drinking from the same clean source.
13 stages of sterilising, filtration and mineral activation, inside every BIO 500 MAX.
What comes out
The things you've both been quietly wondering about.
Forever chemicals
The contaminant class research keeps raising around fertility.
Microplastics
The particles now found in follicular fluid and semen.
Heavy metals
Lead, mercury and others that build up over time.
Fluoride & chlorine
Added at the treatment works, filtered back out at your worktop.
Bacteria & cysts
Sterilising stages give you clean water without boiling.
Minerals added back
Bio-organic trace minerals your water is usually missing.
You've got enough on the to-do list

From couples already doing this
The part they mention is the control it gives back.
"We were over a year in and doing absolutely everything. Cleaning up our water was one of the few things left that felt within our control, and now we both drink from it without thinking about it. The taste alone converted my husband."
"Bought it when we started our first IVF round. Our clinic talks a lot about lifestyle inputs, and this was an easy one to just tick off and stop worrying about. It sits on the worktop and the whole house uses it now."
"Honestly my partner drinks water now instead of fizzy drinks, which never used to happen. If we're both cleaning things up for this, that change on its own made it worth it for us."
Honest answers
The questions couples ask us.
Will this help us conceive?
We won't promise that, and no filter honestly can. What the BIO 500 MAX does is remove forever chemicals, microplastics, chlorine and more from the water you both drink, lowering one exposure that research has linked to fertility. Whether that changes anything for your situation is a question for you and your specialist. Most couples simply want every input they can control to be clean, and this is one of them.
Is it for both of us, or just her?
Both. Forever chemicals and microplastics have been studied in relation to both eggs and sperm, so it's a shared household input rather than a "her" product. One filter on the worktop cleans the water for both of you.
Does it actually remove these contaminants, or just improve taste?
Both. The 13-stage system removes up to 99.9% of fluoride and up to 99% of chlorine, chemicals, heavy metals, bacteria and cysts, filters particulates down to 0.1 microns, and targets forever chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, then re-mineralises the water. Waters Co backs its removal figures with independent lab testing. Taste is the bonus you'll notice first.
We're doing IVF. Is now a good time to start?
Many couples set it up before or during a cycle, since it's a simple, one-off change to a daily input. It sits alongside your clinic's advice, never instead of it, so it's always worth checking anything specific with your specialist.
Does it strip out the good minerals too?
No, and this is the part that sets it apart. Rather than stripping your water bare like reverse osmosis does, the BIO 500 MAX re-mineralises it, adding back over 60 bio-organic trace minerals at a mild alkaline pH of 7.6 to 8.5, so your water enriches rather than just cleans.
Is 7 litres enough for two of us?
Easily. Seven litres covers a day's drinking, tea, coffee and cooking for a couple with room to spare, and you top it up when it's low rather than refilling a jug all day.
