Whole-house filtration

A whole-house system treats water where it enters the property, so every tap, shower and appliance is protected from sediment, rust and grit.

This is particularly worth doing where the supply comes off a storage tank or borehole, or where pipework in the street disturbs sediment after repairs.

  • Point-of-entry sediment and carbon filtration
  • Tank and borehole outlet filtration
  • Housings mounted for easy filter changes
  • Bypass valves so the house keeps running during a change

Drinking water filtration and purification

Under-counter systems and dedicated drinking water taps improve taste and remove chlorine and fine particles at the point you actually drink from. Reverse osmosis is available where you want the highest level of treatment.

Filter installation and replacement

We install new systems and take over maintenance of existing ones, including cartridge replacement, housing repairs and correcting installations that were plumbed in without isolation or bypass.

Filters have a service life. Left too long they restrict flow and stop doing their job, so we set a sensible replacement interval with you.

Water quality solutions for homes and businesses

Offices, guesthouses, salons and restaurants often need filtration for equipment protection as much as for taste. We size systems to actual flow rates so pressure is not sacrificed.

Water Filtration Systems: common questions

Do I need whole-house filtration or just a drinking water filter?
If your concern is taste and drinking water, an under-counter system is usually enough. If you get sediment, staining or grit affecting appliances and showers, filter at the point of entry instead.
How often do filters need replacing?
It depends on the cartridge and your water. Sediment and carbon cartridges commonly run six to twelve months. We give you an interval for your setup and can handle the changes for you.
Will a filtration system reduce my water pressure?
Not noticeably if it is sized correctly for the property. Pressure complaints almost always come from an undersized system or a cartridge that was never replaced.
Can you filter water from a JoJo tank or borehole?
Yes. Tank and borehole water usually needs sediment filtration at minimum, and we often combine it with a backup system installation.
