In Western Australia, we rely on water every single day—at home, on the road, and in our tools. If you’ve been searching for Australia's purest drinking water, you’re probably after something simple: clean, crisp, reliable water—without the guesswork.
But here’s the thing, most people don’t think about until they’ve had a taste comparison: not all water is the same.
Two waters can look crystal clear in a glass, yet one may still contain dissolved solids, minerals, and trace contaminants you can’t see. That matters for taste, consistency, and for certain appliances and equipment where purity is non-negotiable.
That’s where Refresh Pure Water steps in with a quality-first approach built around one core idea: purify water the way nature does—through evaporation and condensation—using an advanced, patented process called vapour compression distillation.
Refresh has been producing ultra-pure water since 1997, with manufacturing sites including Perth and Kalgoorlie—making it highly relevant for WA homes, offices, and industries that need a dependable supply.
Let’s unpack what “pure” actually means, how Refresh makes it, and why it’s become a go-to option across WA.
When people say “pure water,” they’re often talking about one simple measurement:
TDS is the amount of dissolved material in water—things like salts, minerals, and trace elements. Some of this is harmless, but high or inconsistent levels can change taste and, in certain uses, cause build-up or performance issues.
Refresh Pure Water is produced to a very high level of purity, with the company stating that its premium distilled water contains less than 1 ppm total dissolved solids and is regularly tested and certified by NATA-accredited laboratories.
That’s the difference between “looks clear” and engineered purity.
A lot of people describe distilled water as cleaner tasting because it’s free of the minerals that can cause that “metallic” or “bore water” aftertaste. If your household is picky—or you’re filling bottles for sport, work, or school—consistency is a big win.
In WA, we often deal with mineral-heavy water sources depending on the area and supply. For many appliances, dissolved minerals can build up over time.
Ultra-pure water is commonly used for:
Refresh also notes technical uses such as CPAP equipment, autoclaves, and engineering/manufacturing applications where high purity is required.
(Quick note: always follow your appliance manufacturer’s advice on what water type to use.)
Tradies, site managers, and workshop teams often want water that’s predictable and clean—especially when it’s part of a broader compliance, safety, or equipment-care routine.
Refresh uses a steam distillation approach with vapour compression to remove “virtually all organic and inorganic contaminants” without relying on filters, resins, or membranes.
Here’s Refresh’s water treatment process:
The water is first softened using an ion exchange treatment system.
Cold input water is exposed to heat from previously created steam, with an intermittent electrical element assisting.
The water is boiled. The steam is collected and compressed, then cooled by heat transfer back into liquid form—this becomes the distilled water.
The distilled water is stored in bulk tanks and continuously circulated through a UV process to help ensure bacterial control.
After bottling, Refresh Pure Water is delivered to homes and businesses (or supplied via courier, depending on order type).
This is why the end product can be so consistent: it’s not just “filtered.” It’s distilled, using a process that mirrors the evaporation/condensation cycle found in nature.
PFAS (“forever chemicals”) are a hot topic in water discussions. Refresh states “No PFAs” and that their water is regularly tested and certified by NATA-accredited laboratories.
For customers, the practical takeaway is confidence: regular independent testing adds credibility to purity claims—especially for households and businesses that want repeatable quality.
If you live in WA, local production matters. It supports supply reliability and reduces the “cross-country freight” drama.
Refresh notes operations since 1997 with factories across Australia, including Western Australia (Perth and Kalgoorlie).

Refresh states its 5L bottled water is sold at Woolworths across several states, including Western Australia.
That’s handy because it means you can trial it without committing to a delivery plan—grab a bottle, taste it, and see how it suits your household or job.
One reason Refresh suits both homes and worksites is the range:
Refresh Pure Water is sold in pack sizes ranging from 350mL to 15 L.
Refresh offers a 12L bottle designed to be compatible with standard coolers and dispensers used in home and office delivery setups (in recyclable PET).
Refresh also notes the ability to supply distilled or demineralised water in any quantity, including large volumes such as tanker loads, which suits specialist industrial requirements.
If you’re a tradie, a workshop operator, or a hands-on homeowner, “pure water” isn’t just for drinking.
Distilled water is often used in:
Refresh specifically lists applications like CPAP machines, autoclaves, hydrostatic testing, laser cutting, and specialised equipment such as colloidal silver generators.
The key benefit here is low mineral content, which helps reduce scale and residue in systems designed to run clean.
As a healthy alternative to sugary juices and carbonated beverages, our customisable branded water bottles are an ideal way to show your customers you value their health and wellbeing.
We provide custom-branded water bottles to a diverse range of customers across many industries, including major hotels, cafes and restaurants, real estate, manufacturing, weddings, conferences and events.
Start with Refresh Pure Water 5L from Woolworths (easy trial, easy storage).

Ask about distilled/demineralised bulk supply and ensure you’re matching the water spec to your equipment requirements.
1) What makes Refresh Pure Water different from spring water?
Refresh describes its product as distilled water produced via vapour compression distillation, designed to remove virtually all organic and inorganic contaminants, resulting in very low TDS (reported as <1 ppm).
2) Is Refresh Pure Water made in Western Australia?
Refresh lists factories across Australia, including Perth and Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.
3) Where can I buy Refresh Pure Water in WA?
Refresh states its 5L bottled water is sold at Woolworths, including stores in Western Australia.
4) What is vapour compression distillation?
It’s a distillation method where water is boiled to create steam, then that steam is compressed and condensed back into liquid water—helping produce high-purity distilled water. Refresh uses this method and describes it as similar to nature’s evaporation/condensation cycle.
5) What does “<1 ppm TDS” mean in simple terms?
It means the water contains less than one part per million of dissolved solids—very low mineral content compared to many other water sources. Refresh states its premium distilled water meets this level and is regularly tested by NATA-accredited labs.
6) What’s OxyFresh water, and how is it different?
OxyFresh is Refresh Pure Water combined with oxygen using a GIE® energised process, with Himalayan salt added; Refresh claims it’s “700% more oxygenated.”
7) Can I use distilled water in appliances?
Many appliances and devices recommend distilled water to reduce mineral build-up. Always follow your manufacturer’s guidance. Refresh also lists technical and equipment applications that use high-purity water.
If you’re chasing pure drinking water, the big win isn’t hype—it’s consistency. Refresh Pure Water positions itself around a proven purification approach (distillation via vapour compression), very low dissolved solids, and regular NATA-accredited testing, with local WA production in Perth and Kalgoorlie supporting a reliable supply.
For WA families, it’s a clean-tasting daily option you can grab at Woollies.
For tradies and technical users, it’s a practical, pure solution for hydration and specific equipment needs.
And for businesses, the cooler-compatible 12L format and scalable supply options make it easy to standardise across teams and sites.
