The Filter Guy

20+ years engineering pure water for New Zealand

The Filter Guy is a proudly Kiwi-owned water filtration specialist. We design, supply, install and service residential, commercial and industrial water treatment systems across New Zealand — from a single under-sink RO to multi-stage industrial plants.

Our story — from local installer to nationwide water authority

The Filter Guy Limited started over two decades ago with a simple promise: clean, safe drinking water shouldn’t be a luxury for New Zealand families and businesses. What began as a small residential installation business in Auckland has grown into one of New Zealand’s most trusted water filtration brands, with more than 1,800 successful installations across the North Island and Christchurch.
Led by Director David Jenner and lead engineer JK Lenaduwa, our team has installed everything from single under-sink reverse osmosis units in Wellington apartments to large gravity-fed RO plants for the Plant & Food Research facility — aproject that delivered laboratory-grade water below 5 µS/cm and reduced long-term service costs by 70%.
Today we operate as part of a wider NZ water filtration group that also includes Membrane Solutions NZ (high-performance RO, UF & Nanofiltration membranes for commercial and municipal projects) and Wholesale Filters NZ (our online catalogue of replacement cartridges, RO membranes and accessories with same-day NZ-wide dispatch). Together, the three brands give Kiwi homeowners, businesses and trade partners end-to-end access to the country’s most comprehensive
water treatment ecosystem.

Why customers choose The Filter Guy

New Zealand’s water is anything but uniform. Auckland’s chlorinated supply, Christchurch’s hard aquifer water, Hawke’s Bay’s bore water, Northland’s tank water and Rotorua’s geothermal-influenced sources all behave differently — and they all need different filtration. We don’t sell one-size-fits-all kits. Every system we recommend is matched to your actual water profile, flow rate and household or facility demand.
Behind every install sits a team that lives and breathes water treatment: technicians trained in reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, ion exchange softening, ultraviolet disinfection, sediment removal and chemical dosing. We use premium components — Watts One™ DI resin cartridges, Spectra Guard scale-control dosing, branded RO membranes and NSF-certified housings — and back every install with ongoing servicing, replacement supply and direct telephone support on 0800 159858

 

Our mission

Our mission is to make clean, safe drinking water a standard feature of every Kiwi home, business and facility by 2035. That means lowering the cost barrier with efficient, long-lasting systems; educating homeowners about what’s really in their water; partnering with plumbers, councils and industry to roll out filtration at scale; and championing the use of energy-efficient, low-waste reverse osmosis technology suited to New Zealand’s environment.
