Whole House Filtration and Disinfection

Take control of your family’s health and wellbeing by ensuring the water in your home is safe and free from nasty contaminants and odours. While point-of-use water filtration is a great choice to ensure clean, safe drinking water, we are exposed to potential water borne diseases, unpleasant smells and impurities throughout the home – whether that be in the shower or bath, when cleaning our teeth or doing the dishes.
Whether you rely on tank water or have access to mains supply, here is what you need to know about how to ensure your water is safe, healthy and tastes great.

Three stages of filtration (Coarse, Fine, UV/Liquid Disinfection)
What you need to know
The main purpose of filtering your water is to make it microbiologically safe to drink, cook with, and bathe in.
The Ministry of Health recommends a two-barrier approach to this – namely, filtration (coarse and fine) followed by disinfection. Although we can provide a number of solutions that suit your requirements, the simplest solution is for cartridge filtration followed by ultraviolet disinfection.
The level of water treatment you require will depend on the source of your supply i.e. if you are solely reliant on rainwater, then you may have more impurities you wish to remove. If you are on mains supply then eliminating taste and odour may be your main goal. Whatever your requirements we can help find the right solution for your home.

An additional option in the water treatment process can be purification – the removal of dissolved substances and gases which affect taste and odour. Activated carbon is a media which can remove chlorine and its byproducts, pesticides and sulphur. These media filters are often chosen for treating drinking water only. Some are able to remove giardia cysts, some pesticides, tastes and odours. They will NOT, however, remove bacteria and viruses.
