How the Hydroco Microplastics Calculator Works — and Why It Matters

Microplastics have become an invisible threat to our drinking water, impacting both health and the environment. Hydroco’s Microplastics Calculator is a tool designed to empower you with insights into the hidden contaminants in your tap water, no matter where you live in Australia.

How Does the Calculator Work?

The Hydroco Microplastics Calculator uses location-based data to estimate potential microplastic levels and other contaminants in your water. By analyzing environmental studies, municipal reports, and contamination patterns in cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth, the calculator provides a tailored snapshot of your water quality.

Why Is This Important?

  • Personalised Awareness: Tap water isn’t the same everywhere. Knowing what’s in your water allows you to make informed decisions about purification methods, such as adopting a water filter or using a filtered water bottle.
  • Health Protection: Microplastics have been linked to hormonal disruption, inflammation, and even long-term health risks.
  • Eco-Consciousness: Using filtered, reusable water solutions helps reduce dependency on single-use plastic bottles, a leading contributor to global pollution.

Your Next Steps

Clean water is essential for a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. Take the guesswork out of hydration by using Hydroco’s Microplastics Calculator to uncover what’s really in your water.

The more you know, the better you can protect yourself and the planet.
