Trusted water filtration specialists in Christchurch
Christchurch is our flagship South Island service area — and the only major South Island city we currently service directly. From the central city and the Port Hills through to Riccarton, Merivale, Papanui, Halswell, Hornby, Rolleston and the wider Selwyn district, we install residential, commercial and industrial water filtration systems across the Canterbury region.
Understanding Christchurch's water
Christchurch is famous for sourcing its water from deep aquifer bores beneath the city — meaning the water is unchlorinated, clean and exceptionally fresh by global standards. However, that aquifer water is also notably hard, with high calcium and magnesium that forms scale in kettles, hot water cylinders, dishwashers, espresso machines and showerheads. Most of our Christchurch installs focus on whole-house scale control combined with under-sink RO for drinking, plus targeted softening for commercial coffee and dental clients.
Our water filtration services in Christchurch
Our Christchurch team delivers the full range of water filtration services — under-sink reverse osmosis (RO) for pure drinking water at the kitchen tap, whole-house filtration to protect every appliance and shower, commercial RO for cafés, restaurants, offices and clinics, and large-scale industrial and ultra-pure water plants for research, food processing and manufacturing. We also handle ongoing servicing, genuine cartridge replacement, RO membrane changes, UV lamp swaps, water testing and emergency call-outs. Through our group company Membrane Solutions NZ we can quote spiral-wound RO, ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membranes for larger Christchurch commercial and municipal projects, and through Wholesale Filters NZ we supply the country’s largest catalogue of replacement cartridges with same-day NZ-wide dispatch.
