What is Bare Water?

Bare Water is 100% natural spring water sourced from Victoria’s Yarra Ranges, packaged in a sustainable 10L recyclable cask. No additives, no chemicals — just pure, clean water.

Where is it sourced from?

Our water comes straight from the protected springs of the Yarra Ranges in Victoria, Australia. It’s naturally filtered through volcanic rock, giving it a fresh, crisp taste.

Is it really just water?

Yes — and that’s the point. No chlorine, fluoride, or artificial processing. Just water as nature intended.

After collection the water goes through several filtrations, Ozone purification and exits through a UV light to ensure a high standard of clean drinking water.

What is the packaging made from?

• BPA-free inner cask
• 100% recyclable cardboard outer box
• Low-waste tap with minimal plastic components.

It’s designed to keep your water fresh and your conscience clean.

How long does it stay fresh?

Unopened, it lasts up to 12 months.
Once opened, we recommend using it within 2–3 weeks. Store in a cool, dry place — ideally in the fridge.

Is Bare Water Australian owned?

Yes. Bare Water Co is 100% Aussie owned — founded by a group of mates including AFL greats Scott Pendlebury and Jason Johannisen — both passionate about better hydration and healthy living.

Filtered tap water vs Bare Water

While filtered tap water meets basic safety standards, it often contains residual chlorine and fluoride — additives accepted more for historical precedent than for purity. Conventional household filters, typically carbon-based, are not designed to capture trace contaminants such as endocrine-disrupting compounds, pharmaceuticals (e.g. contraceptives, antibiotics, steroids), or hormones excreted by humans and reintroduced into the water supply.

Standard filtration also struggles with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS or “forever chemicals”), heavy metals like lead and arsenic (often leached from aging infrastructure), and industrial/agricultural runoff, particularly in legacy suburban areas with outdated pipe systems. Microplastics, increasingly present in urban water sources, can also pass through basic filtration media.

Although municipal treatment plants disinfect water using chlorine and fluoride, contaminants can re-enter the system through biofilm accumulation, corroded pipes, or secondary contamination in stagnant feeder lines. Melbourne’s supply, partly sourced from the Yarra and other non-pristine catchments due to halted expansions (e.g., Sugarloaf), presents further challenges in maintaining microbiological integrity.

True purification requires advanced treatment: reverse osmosis, sub-micron filtration (<0.5μm), UV sterilisation, ozonation, and ion exchange — technologies not found in typical domestic filters. These systems are necessary to reduce microbial load, chemical residues, and nano-scale particulates to near-zero levels.

Our water is drawn from an active spring of mineral-grade origin. It is treated using 0.5μm, 0.2μm, and 0.1μm filtration stages, followed by ozonation and UV sterilisation, ensuring microbiological safety and chemical purity. The result is exceptionally clean water that exceeds typical regulatory standards and aligns with best-practice purification protocols
