Do you know if your drinking water is safe?
We all like to think that when we turn on the kitchen tap our drinking water is going to be safe – we live in New Zealand after all – we’re clean, green and healthy! But unfortunately our household water hasn’t trickled down from the pristine mountain tops – or if it has, it’s been a fairly long journey to reach its destination and has usually picked up a few unsavoury contaminants along the way.
Whether you’re harvesting rainwater yourself or reliant on council mains, the only way to ensure your water is safe and protect your family’s health is to filter your water. We offer a range of solutions for household water treatment and filtration to make sure you have safe drinking water and peace of mind.
What are the most common bacteria found in water?
If you rely on tank water for drinking then there is a good chance that at some point your tank water will contain sediment, rust, bird poo and animal faecal matter. In your tank, these all contribute to an idyllic breeding ground for bacteria, parasitic cysts, viruses and harmful micro-organisms.
We always recommend point of use water treatment and filtration for customers on tank water. In fact, choosing whole house filtration and disinfection means that even the water your little ones drink from the bath tub will be safe.
Why filter your mains water?
While we are lucky in New Zealand to enjoy a generally high quality of municipal water supply (by global standards) it doesn’t mean there aren’t hundreds of cases every year where people become sick as a result of their drinking water. Plus, point-of-use drinking systems reduce taste and odour, making it much easier to keep up your daily water intake!
As it makes its way to your home, mains water can become contaminated by substances like aluminium, lead, asbestos, pesticides, sulphur, sediment, and rust. Taking control of your water quality and eliminating the risk to your family’s health is as simple as installing a point of use water filtration system.
Whether you’re reliant on tank water or council mains for your drinking water, our point of use drinking water systems provide peace of mind that your water is free from unwanted contaminants like Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
Don’t forget if you’re moving into a property – make it a priority to check your filters!
These filters came out of a house no-one had lived in for two years. The new owners asked us to service the pump and replace the filters ‘if necessary’. We think they may have dodged a bullet!!
Our range of filters have a 30,000-litre capacity and a lifespan of up to three years which make them extremely cost efficient. It’s a small price to pay for safe, clean water, free from taste, odour and sediment and peace of mind that your family’s health won’t be compromised by your drinking water.
