Rural Water Filtration Systems
Water Plus offers a range of water treatment systems to suit rain water, bore water or town water in a range of applications from Point of Entry (POE) whole house systems to Point of Use (POU) drinking water systems. We also supply water softeners and can test water for hardness, iron content and pH . Solutions for rural water treatment vary depending on water source, water use and location and therefore we prefer to quote individually upon request and usually inspect the site to do so. Some of the options Water Plus offers are listed below but for more information please contact us directly.
Counter Top Filtration Systems.
Water Plus Counter Top
The entry price point for water filters is the Water Plus Counter Top unit. This compact and portable unit attaches to the tap spout at the sink. By turning the diverter valve lever water will be diverted through the filter and the unit will dispense refreshing crystal clear water. The standard unit uses a 0.5 micron Carbon Block filter which not only guards against Cryptosporidium and Giardia Cysts but also removes sediments, organics, Lead and all Chlorine leaving the water colourless, odorless, tasteless and fantastic to drink. This unit does not remove fluoride. In the kettle or urn this water makes great tea, coffee and other hot drinks. The unit can be used with a large range of filters to suit your needs and different water supplies.
Ceramic Urn
The Water Plus Ceramic Urns make a fantastic display piece on any counter top and also provide safe, great tasting water. The units use a 1 micron ceramic candle filter with silver carbon so can be used with either town supply or rain water. You simply pour water into the top reservoir and the water filters down through the candle to the lower reservoir where it is held until you dispense water from the tap. This unit guards against Cryptosporidium and Giardia Cysts, removes sediments, organics and Chlorine, though not fluoride, and provides refreshing colourless, odorless, tasteless water. For more photos of urns see Ceramic Urns under Domestic heading in our website.
Undersink Filtration Systems.
Water Plus Twin Undersink System
This compact unit is mounted under your sink or in a nearby cupboard and comes with a choice of faucets to match your kitchen decor. The tap is sink mounted and a Flick mixer tap with filtered water dispenser built in is also available for those who wish to only have one tap at their sink. This unit provides refreshing crystal clear water in limitless supply on tap in your kitchen. The standard rural unit uses a 1 micron absolute pleated sediment pre filter and a 1-2 micron Silver Carbon filter which not only guard against Cryptosporidium and Giardia Cysts but also remove sediments and organics such as pesticides and chemicals leaving the water colourless, odorless, tasteless and fantastic to drink. Using this water for cooking will improve the natural flavours of your food and in the kettle or urn this water makes great tea, coffee and other hot drinks. The unit can be used with a large range of filters to suit your needs and different water supplies.
Water Plus Twin System Plus Ultra Violet Light
The ideal system for treating unchlorinated water supplies is a three stage, twin plus UV, undersink system. This unit combines the Water Plus Twin with a third stage Ultra Violet light that kills any remaining bacteria in the water. This system ensures you have safe, clean drinking water on tap in your kitchen.
Free Standing Chillers
Cascade Free Standing Chillers
This unit can be plumbed in in a variety of locations with the water sourced through flexible tubing installed through wall or ceiling cavities. These appliances have twin taps (cool and cold) and can be supplied in full height or counter top size. There is also the option of having hot and cold taps. The appliances can be matched to a number of water filtration units and are most commonly sold with in line filtration on plumbed in models and a counter top or under sink filtration for the bottle type chillers.
Clearwater Pure 1 Self Filtering Free Standing Chiller.
This free standing chiller has the advantage of a self filtering bottle. The unit is refilled through a removable lid in the top of the bottle with a 5 litre refiller bottle supplied with the unit. The water passes through a 1 micron sock sediment filter and then through and activated carbon filter before reaching the chilling chamber. These filters guard against cryptosporidium and giardia cysts and remove sediments, organics and all chlorine leaving the water colourless, odorless, tasteless and fantastic to drink.
The water is dispensed at either cold or cool temperature from the twin taps. The unit is also available with hot/cold taps. The Pure 1 is ideal for home and offices alike where the chiller will be standing away from any water outlets so it can provide convenient, pure water without the necessity to carry and store heavy bottles or to plumb in water to the unit.
Point of Entry Filtration Systems
Point of Entry Systems (POE)
The "Big Blue" 20" Housing
The Big Blue filter system is designed to filter water before it enters your house! In other words, no matter whether you are brushing your teeth, cooking dinner or taking a shower, the bag filter will remove sediments, dust and rust all down to 1 micron and the silver carbon filter will dramatically improve the colour taste and odour of the water while reducing the risk of bacterial growth on the filter.
Low in maintenance, the bag filter should be replaced when the flow reduces and the silver carbon filter should be replaced every 12 months.
Point of entry filtration when using bore or rain water supplies is necessary protection for your machines such as water heaters, dishwashers and washing machines. It can also protect tap seats, shower heads and toilets from damaging sediments. POE filters can also be used to remove odors and colour from water for cleaner, more enjoyable showers, cleaner and softer clothes and to stop staining in toilets and sinks. As with most rural applications the right system varies depending on water source and location so please contact us to get advise on what would suit your needs.
Single Housing - Sediment filter
Protect your appliances from dust, sand and other sediments at point of entry.
Available in housing sizes suitable for inlet pipes from 3/4" to 1 1/2", this style of system will help prolong the life of your appliances by reducing sand, dust and dirt. This particulate matter can cause corrosion in your appliances, tap seats and toilet systems.
Water Softening Systems.
Kinetico Twin Tank Water Softener
Kinetico Twin Tank Softeners represent the leading technology in domestic and commercial water softening systems. These units require no electricity, are totally reliable, are the most cost and water efficient and require the least upkeep and maintenance. This is achieved through the use of twin softening tanks. Having two tanks means that regeneration of the resin is done precisely when needed as the system stays on line providing softened water from one tank while regenerating the other. The other benefit is that 
regeneration water is acquired from the on line tank meaning that regeneration is done using softened water ensuring a much longer life for your resin and control valve parts and more efficiency from your system. The system measures water usage through a mini turbine meaning no electricity is used, there are no breakdowns by expensive electronic parts, and no adjustments need to be made for fluctuations in usage requirements. This type of system is a must for iron-laden water supplies and is also of benefit for any hard water supply.
Single Tank Water Softener
Single Tank Softeners offer a cost effective way to soften water for domestic and commercial use if the water supply is not iron-laden. These systems use a micro processor, electronic timer or a semi automatic timer to set regeneration cycles.
NSW Private Water Supply Guidelines
The NSW Department of Health recently issued new guidelines for private water supplies which serve the public. The guidelines cover surface water, groundwater and water from rainwater tanks that is supplied for drinking at facilities such as caravan parks and camp grounds, guest houses, petrol stations and roadhouses and sports facilities. The guidelines provide information on protection and management of water supplies, water treatment and disinfection, monitoring requirementls, and legal responsibilities to ensure provision of safe water to the public.
