Is a Water Filtration System Right for Your Home?
Clean, safe water is essential for good health, yet many Kiwis don’t realise that the water flowing from their taps may contain chlorine, sediments, and other impurities.
While New Zealand has high water quality standards, the journey from treatment plants to your home isn’t always perfect. Pipes can introduce contaminants, and chlorine—used for disinfection—can affect the taste and smell of your water.
So, how can you ensure fresh, pure water for your household? A water filtration system is the answer—but the first step is understanding what’s in your water.
What’s in Your Tap Water?
New Zealand’s water supply is treated to remove harmful bacteria and viruses, but that doesn’t mean it’s free from other contaminants. Depending on your location, your tap water might contain:
- Chlorine – Added to kill bacteria but can leave an unpleasant taste and smell.
- Sediments & Rust – Often picked up from aging pipes.
- Heavy Metals – Traces of lead and copper can leach from plumbing systems.
- Microplastics & Chemicals – Found in some water supplies, with potential long-term effects on health.
The Benefits of a Home Water Filtration System
A water filtration system offers peace of mind and several advantages:
✅ Healthier, Safer Water
Filtration removes unwanted chemicals and contaminants, giving you cleaner and safer water for drinking, cooking, and even showering.
✅ Better Taste & Smell
No more chlorine odours or metallic aftertastes—just crisp, fresh water straight from the tap.
✅ Protects Your Home & Appliances
Filtered water reduces scale build-up in kettles, hot water cylinders, and household plumbing, prolonging the life of your appliances.
✅ Cost-Effective & Eco-Friendly
Buying bottled water is expensive and wasteful. With a filtration system, you get unlimited clean water while reducing plastic waste.
