Choosing the right water treatment system
Water is essential for life, but not all water is created equal. Depending on its source, there can be a number of issues that can affect the quality of your water, including:
Hard water: High in minerals like Calcium and Magnesium, leading to scale build up in appliances, dry skin, and dull hair.
Contaminants: Bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, pesticides, microplastics, forever chemicals such as PFAS, PFOS and other chemicals that can pose health risks.
Unpleasant tastes and odours: Chlorine, Sulphur, and other compounds can make water unpalatable.
These issues not only affect the quality of your drinking water but also impact your household appliances, plumbing systems, and even your health.
What are the benefits of the right water treatment system?

- Longer-lasting fixtures: Soft water helps prevent the build up of mineral deposits on showerheads and faucets.
Environmental Benefits:
