Through years of research and working at the cutting edge of water purification for homes, businesses and public distribution for people on the go, Blue Water has learned that water as pure as nature intended cannot be taken for granted anywhere on our planet. This podcast explores the magic of water and its importance to all life around the world.
All of us have a right to clean water, yet today pure water has become a commodity because it's in ever shorter supply, increasingly polluted and poisoned with pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers, oil, industrial chemicals and single use plastics. We aim to report on the efforts by individuals, organisations and purpose driven companies to tackle the pollution and water scarcity that endangers our very existence. Listen to conversations with industry experts as well as leading change makers from the science, sports and local community worlds and discover the latest innovations, insights and trends making an impact on our water world.
Welcome to Planet Water; a podcast by Blue Water exploring the cutting edge of how water impacts every stage of how we live our lives from our physical and mental health to overall well-being.

Why people worry about their tap water quality
On this illuminating show we delve into the good, the bad and the ugly about the water coming out of our taps. We look at why folks don't trust it and the environmental consequence sparked by using single-use plastic bottles of water, which we believe are threatening our very existence. Our purpose as a company is to fight single use plastic bottles because of the chemical and carbon pollution they spark.

Planet Water! meets ocean saviour Todd McGuire of America's 11th Hour Racing - on a mission to save the world's oceans
We are talking to an awesome mariner called Todd McGuire, who heads up an American organisation called 11th Hour Racing, an equally awesome professional offshore sailing team that’s racing with purpose, working on collaborative solutions for ocean health, and leaving a positive impact in its wake.
At Bluewater, we care about what goes into our oceans because we care about what goes into our bodies when drinking or washing with water. We humans are causing life on Earth to vanish. We humans have directly altered at least 70% of Earth's land, mainly for growing plants and keeping animals. We’re behind deforestation, the degradation of land, loss of biodiversity and pollution, and have negatively impacted both land and freshwater ecosystems, triggering poor air quality, and undrinkable water. Pollution is so bad (https://interestingengineering.com/new-study-links-air-pollution-to-global-diabetes) that 2.4 billion people (http://www.worldwildlife.org/threats/pollution) do not have access to clean water sources.
Nature is suffering as well. Researchers estimate there are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris in the ocean (https://www.nationalgeographic.org/article/ocean-trash-525-trillion-pieces-and-counting-big-questions-remain/#:~:text=The%20numbers%20are%20staggering%3A%20There,kilometer%20litter%20the%20deep%20sea.), leaching chemicals into the waters that threaten all living creatures. Scientists say a quarter of all coral reefs are considered damaged beyond repair, with two-thirds under serious threat. This is deadly serious for us and the planet as a whole. Coral reefs are home to 25% of aquatic life, many of which are responsible for the natural filtration of the ocean and production of necessary nutrients that are vital for life under the sea.
For all the reasons above, Bluewater has put sustainability and ending the need for single use plastic bottles at the heart of our business mission to produce leading edge water purifiers for use in homes, businesses and public distribution as well as planet-friendly refillable water bottles made of stainless steel and glass.
