Pure Flow Water is making ripples.
You know it, I know it, we all know it. Drink your 2 litres of water a day and you’re on a one-way trip to hydration station – wow we feel healthier just writing that. But be honest (no judgement), are you really smashing that goal? Enter: Pure Flow Water – the people making us want to fill up our Frank Green three times a day.
The team at Pure Flow Water founded the brand off a belief that hydration is the key to a healthier, more vibrant life and honestly – no objections here. Bringing the highest quality water purified with state-of-the-art filtration, then remineralised with magnesium, potassium and calcium, for optimal hydration. A couple of litres of this a day and we promise you’ll be the picture of health. Or closer to it anyway.
Christina and Elliot launched Pure Flow Water just three months ago and since then have been making ripples across Brisbane and the Gold Coast as the City’s highest quality water suppliers. With a genuine passion for community, health and wellness, the brand was built with the mission to educate the public and make sure we all have access to options that transform our lives but even more importantly, are easy to integrate into your day-to-day because #mentalload.
These two are all about dishing out the good stuff – remineralised, alkaline and filtered water that’s pure, clean, plus loads of other health enhancing products all delivered to your door, be it your cosy pad or your busy office. Thank you, Pure Flow, for literally giving us no reason to not be hydrated grapes instead of sad little raisins.
You might not know that your skin is the largest organ, absorbing everything (and we mean everything) like a sponge, so Christina and Elliot have also developed a 15-stage shower filter that filters out chemicals, bacteria and sediment from the tap water you shower in and remineralises and infuses it with Vitamin C. BRB while we wig out that we’ve been bathing in that every. day. *SCREAMS INTERNALLY*.
In the spirit of helping you kick your #healthgoals and making hydration hot, we’re giving you four reasons to elevate your water game with some Pure Flow Water goodness.
More energy and better brain function – who doesn’t want that?
A dehydrated bod means a dehydrated brain, if you’re craving that spring in your step and some extra brain power but don’t know where to start, try checking how much water you’re drinking each day. But drinking any old water doesn’t mean you’re hydrated, your water needs to be properly mineralized to properly hydrate your cells.
Gorgeous, glowing skin
Your beauty regime is exhaustively long but you’re still missing that plump, pillowy feel – a tale as old as time. Hydrating from the inside out is quite honestly the key to getting that glow we’re all chasing. But what’s just as important as the water you’re ingesting is the water you’re showering in. This is where 15-Stage Shower Filter comes in. Snap one of these babies on your shower head and enjoy a more refreshing and rejuvenating shower experience.
Peak your physical performance
So you’re on your health journey, absolutely slaying it at the gym and smashing the classic run down Burleigh Beach but it all means nothing if you’re not rehydrating your body. Don’t let the workout go to waste, you’ve sweat it out and now it’s time to sip it up.
Save yourself from a cheeky hangover
Okay, this one is a little less #wellness and a little more I-had-a-few-too-many-margs-last-night but regardless, it’s a thing. Save yourself the sore head with a couple of glasses of remineralised water before bed and thank us tomorrow.
Hydration done right – we’ll cheers to that.

No matter how you’re feeling right now or what you’re current situation is, there’s no doubt we can all use a little bit more health and happiness in our lives. So we’ve collected the five top tips to ensure your week is that little bit healthier from now on in. Take care of yourselves Gold Coasters.
Get up an hour earlier
It doesn’t seem like much but you’d be surprised how much you can fit into an hour. There’s nothing worse for your brain than waking up, going to work, going home, watching TV and going back to bed – where’s the relaxation? Instead of reaching straight for your phone the minute you wake up, roll straight out of bed and into some sort of exercise or stretching routine, play with the dog, cook yourself a healthy breakfast and ease into your day. You’ll soon see that starting your morning in a slower, more relaxed way sets the tone for the rest of your day.
Plan your meals
It sounds a little bit like something your Nanna would do but trust us, planning your meals will make life a million times simpler and healthier. Everyone knows what happens when you go to the supermarket after work, usually on an empty stomach and with very little willpower – you end up with an entrée of cheese and biccies followed by garlic bread and a big old bowl of spaghetti bolognaise. Delicious sure, but not so much on the healthy side. Planning allows you to choose healthy options, buy everything you need at once and not be tempted by the lure of excessive carbs.
Sleep enough
Ahh the ever elusive shut eye. It’s highly likely you aren’t getting enough of it what with work, exercising, eating and those all-important Netflix binges taking up so much of your time. Something’s gotta give though and usually that thing is your health, or your sanity. They say you need at least eight hours but in truth, you need as much as you need. If you’re tired, sleep more, it’s imperative to both your mental and physical health (and the people who have to put up with you). If you need a nap through the day, go for it, this is your permission slip.
Take time out
You’ve been hearing people bang on about the miraculous benefits of meditation for awhile now and those people aren’t lying. It is one of the best ways to calm your mind, find out the answers to life’s big questions and generally just take time out from the chaos of day to day life. Seems overwhelming though right? Sitting down in silence and trying not to think. It can be simple though, start with five minutes of deep breathing and don’t be discouraged if your mind wanders, just stay there and enjoy the serenity, before you know it you’ll crave that time out.
Move your body
Although it’s easier said than done to get up off the couch when it’s cold out, the benefits are about three million fold. Even if you just go for a short walk around the block or do some easy stretching, your body will absolutely thank you. There are plenty of online workouts and yoga classes to choose from too so you don’t need to spend money on exercising to see the benefits. Morning is probably the best time of day to move, it’ll make you feel good all day but anytime will do. You’ll be happy you did.
