How Water Treatment Solutions Work
Water treatment uses a combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove impurities from water, making it safe and giving it a better taste.
We have a range of different water treatment systems available for targeting specific contaminants or for different water quality issues. In many cases, multiple water treatment methods are combined for optimal results. Water treatment can also be used as a pre-treatment before going through further filtration methods such as reverse osmosis.
Water Softening Systems
Water softening systems use a process called ion exchange to remove hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium from water and replace them with sodium ions, helping to prevent scale buildup in pipes and appliances and extend equipment life.
Media Cartridges
Media cartridges are filled with specialised materials that target specific contaminants. These cartridges can effectively reduce chlorine, sediments, heavy metals, and other impurities in water, improving its clarity and taste.
Pressure Vessels
Pressure vessels are durable containers designed to house filtration media used in larger-scale water treatment systems. They ensure water passes evenly through the media bed under pressure, maximising filtration efficiency to produce high quality treated water.
Choosing Your Water Treatment System
Identifying Your Water Issues
Start by pinpointing your water’s pain points, such as hardness, an unpleasant taste or odour, chlorine, sediment, or bacteria. Knowing which contaminants are present will help you to determine which treatment methods will be most effective.
Application
Different environments require different treatment approaches. Whether you’re treating water for a residential home, commercial premises, or an industrial facility, systems can be tailored to suit the scale, water usage, and regulatory requirements of each application.
Flow Rate and Capacity
The flow rate and capacity of a system determines how much water can be efficiently treated at any given time. Choosing a system that matches your specific demand ensures consistent pressure, performance, and water quality.
Budgeting and Maintenance
When planning your water treatment solution, consider both the upfront investment and ongoing maintenance costs. Regular servicing, filter changes, and media replacement is essential to keep your system running efficiently and extend its lifespan.

Water Treatment System Maintenance
When it comes to water filtration systems, the health of the cartridge or media inside plays the most critical role in ensuring the desired results are delivered effectively and safely.
Several factors dictate the optimal time to change your filter or media, including the system size, feed water quality, your application type and required pressure. However, per typical industry standard recommendations, you should change your water filter when the pressure drop reaches two bar or, for point-of-use applications, every six to twelve months.

Common Water Quality Problems and Solutions
Hard Water
Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium which can cause scale buildup. Installing a water softening system effectively prevents this.
Chlorine Taste or Odour
A noticeable chlorine taste or smell can be addressed and reduced with activated carbon filters, improving the overall taste and freshness of your water.
Bacteria or Microbial Concerns
If bacteria or microorganisms are present, a UV disinfection system offers a chemical-free way to ensure safe, clean water.
Cloudiness or Sediment
Cloudy water or visible particles can be cleared using sediment filters, which trap dirt, sand, and other suspended solids.
