I had sensitive, itchy skin for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I’d get red, rashy skin whenever I itched. My scalp would flake in colder weather, and I’d get that white dry skin build up on my shoulders, which was super embarrassing.

I tried all the usual things. Moisturisers, special shampoos, diet changes, but nothing really made a difference. It was frustrating.

As I got older I started hearing people talk about filtering their tap water, and I learned that basically all tap water is treated with chlorine and other chemicals to kill bacteria like E. coli (which is great) but if we shower in it, it can strip away your skins natural barrier.

I couldn’t find a filter that worked properly. Most weren’t designed for Australian water. They were cheap, plastic, and either wore out fast or weren’t tested at all. So, I decided to make my own. I wanted something that wasn’t just effective but also looked good - and that’s how Watego was born.

Since using our filters, my skin and scalp have had zero issues. No flakes, no itchy arm, no redness. Just healthy, comfortable skin. And believe it or not I actually get compliments on how healthy my skin looks!!

Building this brand is personal to me. I want as many people as possible to feel the benefits to showering in clean, pure water!
