WHAT IS BORE WATER?
Bore Water is water sourced from aquifers below ground. Bore water can be used for irrigation, livestock, aquaculture and domestic applications. There are over 190,000 garden bores across the Perth-Peel Metro area using over 82,000,000,000 L per annum (or 82 GL). Groundwater is generally not recommended for drinking water unless treated and tested as per the Department of Health’s Guideline. Talk to us about a water filter system for bore water.

WHY FILTER SAFE WATER?
Personal preference, self assurity or peace of mind that filtered water is perfectly safe for your family and pets. Seriously though, there are many good reasons to filter, including from removing chlorine smell and taste from your water, so reducing the concentrations of heavy metals in your supply. But for many of our customers, they make both environmental and financial decisions to move from bottled water to filtered tap water.
General return on investment on water filtration is between 1 and 3 years.
