Water Purification & Filtration
There is no single filter that is right for every property. The correct treatment depends entirely on what is in the water and what the water will be used for. That is why purification work starts with testing, not with a product recommendation.
Potential treatment stages
- Sediment filtration to remove suspended particles
- Carbon filtration for taste, odour and certain organic compounds
- Water filtration systems for point-of-use or point-of-entry
- UV treatment to address microbiological risk
- Reverse osmosis where the results and application justify it
- Drinking-water solutions at the tap
- Whole-property filtration protecting fixtures and appliances
- Water-quality testing before and after installation
Treatment follows the test
Municipal water, borehole water and rainwater each present different challenges, and two boreholes on the same road can produce very different results. Laboratory analysis tells us what needs addressing — hardness, sediment, iron, microbiological contamination, dissolved solids — and the treatment train is built from there.
Intended use matters as much as the source
Water that is perfectly acceptable for irrigation or toilet flushing may not be suitable for drinking. Where potable use is intended, treatment must be specified for that purpose and the result verified by testing.
Living with a treatment system
Filters have a service life, UV lamps need replacement, and membranes need care. We set out the maintenance requirements upfront so the system continues to perform as specified.
How it works
The water purification process
A structured sequence so that what gets installed matches what the property actually needs.
- 01
Water testing
A sample is analysed so decisions are based on actual results.
- 02
Specification
A treatment train is proposed for the contaminants found and the intended use.
- 03
Installation
Equipment is installed with correct pre-filtration and flow provision.
- 04
Verify & maintain
Performance is verified and a filter-change schedule is set.
Before you commit
What to consider
Points worth thinking through — whether you appoint us or someone else.
- Source of the water — municipal, borehole, rainwater or stored supply
- Recent laboratory test results, or the need to obtain them
- Intended use — drinking, general household, irrigation or process water
- Flow rate required so treatment does not restrict supply
- Space and plumbing access for the equipment
- Ongoing consumable and maintenance costs
- Retesting after installation to confirm the system performs as intended
Assess first
We look at the property and the requirement before recommending equipment.
Clear scope
You are told what is included, what is not, and what depends on site findings.
No overselling
Where a smaller solution will do the job, that is what we will propose.
Ongoing support
Maintenance can be arranged so the system keeps performing after handover.
