Choosing the right water treatment system for a mains water supply

Water is essential for life, but not all water is created equal. Depending on its source, water can contain various impurities such as:

  • 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, and other chemicals 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.

I want filtered drinking water

Even if you’re on a mains water supply, there are several reasons why you might still want to install an under sink drinking water filter. While mains water is typically treated and regulated to meet safety standards, it can still contain contaminants or impurities that you may want to remove for better health, taste, and overall water quality.

Solution

An under sink water filter efficiently removes sediments, sand, silt, rust, chlorine, unpleasant tastes, and odours, while also reducing lead, total organic carbon (TOC), and organic matter from tap water. These system provide a single source of filtered water for your home.

I have hard water

Hard water is water that contains high levels of calcium and magnesium minerals, the high levels of these minerals are what leads to the build-up of limescale in home appliances, showers, surfaces, heating systems etc. This can also have a negative effect on skin, and worsen conditions such as Eczema and Psoriasis.

Solution

Water softeners work by altering the chemistry in order to remove temporary hardness and therefore scale formation. We offer cabinet water softeners design for domestic use and larger systems for commercial or industrial applications.

I want to reduce scale

In hard water areas limescale builds up and accumulates over time, leading to blockages, reduced efficiency of appliances (like water heaters and dishwashers), and stains on faucets and tiles.

Solution

An alternative options to a standard water softener is an Anti-scale system. These work to reduce scale build-up but unlike softeners do not add Sodium to the water therefore water hardness remains unaffected. These systems are very low maintenance and require no additional chemicals or salt.

I want pure, better tasting water

Even on mains water unpleasant tastes and odours can still occur, caused by such things as chlorine, sulfur, and other compounds. This can make water unpalatable.

Solution

Using a Reverse Osmosis System can significantly improve the taste of your tap water. RO systems effectively remove impurities, contaminants, and minerals, as well as PFAS “forever” chemicals, Fluoride and Chlorine resulting not only in purer and cleaner tasting water but healthier water.  The process enhances the overall quality, making it more refreshing and enjoyable to drink.

Consulting with a Water Treatment Professional

Before making a decision, it’s crucial to:

  • Test your water quality: A water test will identify the specific contaminants present in your water. This is particularly useful when utilising borehole, wells, rainwater or ponds
  • Talk to the professional: As water treatment specialists we can assess your needs and recommend the most suitable solution. Not just what actual treatment is required, but the correct size for your application
  • Compare choices: Consider factors like cost, installation, maintenance, and operating expenses. Though some circumstances may only point to one clear solution, in some applications there may be multiple options

By investing in the right water treatment solution, you can enjoy the benefits of clean, safe, and great-tasting water while protecting your health, your home, and the environment.
