For those who want a complete solution, our whole home water filtration system ensures that every drop of water in your house is clean and safe. This system is designed to remove contaminants and can prevent sediment, calcium, and heavy metals from building up in your pipes, extending the lifespan of your plumbing and appliances.

Install under bench water filters for convenience

Our under-bench water filter system is a cost-effective solution for those seeking clean, refreshing water without the higher investment of a whole-house filtration system. It delivers excellent filtration for drinking water while maintaining an affordable price point and a sleek, unobtrusive design for your kitchen. Discreetly installed beneath your kitchen bench, this system ensures that you can enjoy purified water straight from the tap. With professional installation and minimal maintenance, it’s a convenient solution.

Portable countertop water filters for flexibility

If you’re a holidaymaker or a renter, our portable countertop purifiers are perfect for you. These stand-alone and portable water purifiers are simple to attach to any tap, making them ideal for mobile homes, caravans, or holiday homes. They're easy to use, complete with a rubber attachment, diverter, and adaptor for simple installation. Fitted with a one-micron carbon/KDF filter that removes bad tastes, odours, heavy metals, giardia, and cryptosporidium.

Combat hard water with our treatment systems

Hard water can do more than just leave annoying residue; it can dry out your hair and skin and cause costly issues for your home. Our water filters effectively soften hard water, preventing scale build-up that can block water flow and speed up rusting in pipes. By reducing water hardness, you also protect your appliances, like heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines, helping them last longer. Say goodbye to the white residue on dishes, glassware, and sinks, and enjoy the benefits of soft, clean water throughout your home.

Understanding the quality of New Zealand's mains water


In New Zealand, the water we receive from the "mains" supply comes from various sources and is typically treated at a treatment plant before being delivered to homes and businesses. Most local municipal water supplies are chemically treated to remove bacteria and viruses. However, some smaller water schemes may not go through this process. Common concerns people have include chlorine, fluoride, and trace amounts of contaminants like heavy metals, herbicides, and pesticides, as well as issues with taste and odour.

Water filtration systems to suit your lifestyle


The Better Water Company offers water filters for all homes and spaces, making your water taste nicer, removing hard water, and eliminating contaminants. In addition to systems for homes on town water, we also offer UV water filtration systems for rural homes, office water coolers, and raw water testing. We provide yearly servicing of water filters to ensure they function optimally.

Frequently asked questions about home water filtration systems

Our town water filters are three-stage filtration systems. These systems are designed to provide comprehensive water purification by passing water through three distinct filters, each targeting different contaminants to ensure clean, safe, and great-tasting water.

Sediment Filter (Stage 1): The first stage uses a sediment filter that captures larger particles such as dirt, sand, rust, and other debris. This prevents clogging and protects the subsequent filters from damage, improving their efficiency and longevity.

Carbon Filter (Stage 2): In the second stage, the water passes through an activated carbon filter. This filter reduces chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other chemicals that affect the taste, smell, and overall quality of water. It also helps remove some organic contaminants.

Fine Filter (Stage 3): The final stage often consists of a finer filter, such as a reverse osmosis membrane or a ceramic filter, that targets microscopic impurities. This stage effectively removes heavy metals (like lead and mercury), bacteria, and other harmful contaminants, ensuring the water is safe for drinking and cooking.

Together, these three stages work to deliver thoroughly filtered water, free from sediments, chemicals, and harmful contaminants, while enhancing taste and safety.

Our systems are engineered to maintain optimal water pressure while providing effective filtration. You’ll enjoy clean, filtered water without any noticeable drop in water pressure.

Our under-bench water filters are designed to remove common contaminants like chlorine, heavy metals, and sediment. For more specific contaminants like bacteria or pesticides, you may want to consider upgrading to a whole-home filtration system for comprehensive protection.
