Collection: Farm Water Solutions

Water used for livestock, irrigation, household use, food preparation and equipment longevity must be clean, consistent, and free from contaminants that could affect animal health, crop productivity, or equipment performance.

Clean water plays a critical role in livestock health and productivity. Poor water quality can reduce feed intake, slow growth rates, and increase the risk of disease in animals. For irrigation systems, removing sediment and contaminants helps protect pumps, valves, and irrigation equipment while ensuring consistent water delivery to crops.

Filtration Canterbury can test your water, identify the specific contaminants present, and recommend the right whole‑house, point‑of‑use, or tailored filtration system to ensure safe, consistent water across your farm.

New Zealand's 2028 water safety requirements include making sure all drinking water supplies are registered by November 2028 to ensure effective treatment barriers are in place and meet the drinking water quality assurance rules. Rural and farm properties need to comply with treatment and monitoring standards. Contact Filtration Canterbury for further assistance.

Yes. Any farm that supply drinking water to people including staff, tenants, family, accommodation and multiple dwellings must have a water treatment system in place. Under Taumata Arowai’s drinking‑water rules, untreated source water is no longer acceptable. Farmhouse, staff accommodation and shed water treatment must be in place including UV filtration to protect against bacteria, viruses and protozoa.

For tank or bore water we recommend a multi-stage system to remove sediment, iron, manganese, hardness and bacteria. The best agricultural water filter system will depend on the results from your water test.

Filtration Canterbury provides a range of farm water treatment systems including multi-stage filtration to remove sediment and turbidity, specialised media filtration for iron and manganese removal, activated carbon filtration to reduce chemical contaminants, and ultraviolet (UV) disinfection to control bacteria and pathogens.

Yes, Filtration Canterbury specialises in multi-farm and multi-house water filtration systems. We can design and supply water filtration systems that service multiple properties and water supply lines. Rural setups may require shared filtration at the source, along with individual point-of-use systems where needed.
