How Filtration Canterbury addresses Common Water Quality Concerns;

Chlorine Odour and Taste Removal

Council water supplies are often treated with chlorine for disinfection, which can leave an unpleasant taste and smell. Our advanced filtration systems are designed to effectively remove chlorine, delivering clean, fresh-tasting water for everyday use.

Reduction of Harmful Contaminants

We provide filtration solutions that significantly reduce contaminants such as nitrates, lead, chromium, and barium. These substances can enter water supplies through agricultural runoff, industrial activities, or natural sources. Long-term exposure may present health concerns, making high-performance filtration essential.

Removal of Waterborne Pathogens

Our systems are engineered to eliminate harmful microorganisms-including Campylobacter, E. coli, Giardia, and other bacteria and viruses. This level of protection is especially important for households with young children, the elderly, or individuals with weakened immune systems, ensuring greater confidence in your water's safety.

Comprehensive Water Quality Testing and Tailored Filtration Solutions

Water Testing Services

We provide detailed water testing services to accurately assess the quality of your water supply and identify specific contaminants. Our process includes:

Sample Collection

Water samples are collected from multiple points within your system to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.

Laboratory Analysis and detailed Reporting and Recommendations

All samples are analysed at a certified laboratory, testing for a wide spectrum of potential contaminants, including heavy metals, microbial pathogens (bacteria and viruses), and chemical pollutants.

Following analysis, we provide a comprehensive report outlining the findings. Based on these results, we design a customised water filtration solution that directly addresses your unique water quality concerns.

Water Safety Planning and NZDWS Compliance

In addition to our advanced filtration systems, we offer comprehensive services aligned with the New Zealand Drinking Water Standards (NZDWS). Our water safety plans are designed to ensure ongoing compliance, protect public health, and maintain the highest standards of water quality.

Each plan includes the following core components:

Risk Assessment

We conduct thorough assessments to identify potential hazards within your water supply system. This includes analysis of your water source, distribution infrastructure, and any potential contamination points. Key considerations include agricultural runoff, industrial activity, and natural geological risks that may introduce contaminants.

Control Measures

Based on the risk assessment, we implement targeted control measures to manage and mitigate identified risks. These may include the installation of advanced filtration technologies, system upgrades, routine maintenance protocols, and guidance on best practices for water management. We also assist with emergency preparedness planning in the event of contamination.

Ongoing Monitoring and System Maintenance

To ensure sustained compliance with NZDWS, we offer regular system monitoring and maintenance. This includes scheduled water testing, inspection of filtration components, and timely filter replacements. Detailed reports and expert recommendations are provided to support your ongoing water safety objectives.

By integrating tailored water safety plans with our high-performance filtration solutions, Water Filters NZ helps ensure that your water remains clean, safe, and fully compliant with national regulations.

Proven Performance for Bore, Tank, and Farm Water.


Trusted by Rural New Zealanders.

Our biggest concern was the nitrate levels in our drinking water. We did a water test before and after installing the filter, and the results were fantastic. Knowing the system helps reduce those levels gives us real peace of mind, especially with kids in the house. Definitely worth the investment.


We rely on bore water on our property, and it always had that metallic taste and some sediment. After installing the filtration system, the difference was huge — clear water and no more build-up in the taps. It’s been running smoothly for over a year now, and we couldn’t be happier with how consistent the water quality has been.
