Put simply, RO has the ability to purify water to a standard far beyond any other filtration technology. Its advanced capabilities allow industries of varying types to utilise water that is cleaner, fresher, and more versatile. From use in medical practices and hospitals, to wineries, farms and domestic drinking water, RO is incredibly adaptable, and is regarded as #1 in water purification.

Do you install all water systems?

Can your filter systems replace other Filter Brands?

Do you have a drinking system that removes fluoride?

Yes, Under-sink Reverse Osmosis System.

Will a water softener help with my skin irritations?

Yes. Water softeners are great addition to your home if you suffer from skin conditions such as Eczema or Psoriasis. By removing “hard chemicals” such as Calcium and Magnesium from the water, it leaves the water “Soft” on the skin.

I have a problem with my pressure pump. Can you assist?

Yes. Freshwater Systems’ Service Division is a team of highly trained water treatment technicians who are capable of servicing both domestic and commercial issues.

Can you clean river water?

Yes, we can custom design an Ultra Filtration (UF) plant that will not only clean your water (like tap water), but take out 99.9% of bacteria & viruses.

My bore water is too salty for my sheep/cattle – what can be done?

Our core business is Reverse Osmosis (RO). This is a filtration process that removes over 95% of the salts in water. If you provide a water analysis, we can quote a custom made system for your property. And as you know, your stock will “do” a lot better on nice, fresh, clean water. (ie, breeding, fattening, general health)

***Also, cleaning dam water can be just as beneficial. Studies have shown that stock thrive on water that is bacteria free, where stock either not allowed to drink from the dam directly or bacteria is removed from the dam water. Dairy cows are also susceptible to poor water quality.

Are there any bugs in rainwater?

There is a high potential for bugs in any water unless it’s disinfected. The issue is with the contaminants on your roof, piping system and tank. Typically, we would install UV steriliser at its point of use – meaning it disinfects as the water is passing through it.
