Water Testing & Purification
Lab testing, UV filters, softeners, and iron removal.
Why testing comes before treatment
Borehole water quality varies from site to site. We arrange laboratory testing and then recommend and install the right treatment, whether that is UV disinfection, softening or iron and sediment removal.
Borehole water can look clean while still carrying minerals, bacteria or other issues that affect taste, safety and equipment. Testing first gives us a proper base for the treatment plan instead of guessing.
Call 078 038 0384What we test for
We look at the actual water quality first so the solution matches the issue. That can include safety concerns, staining, taste, hardness or clarity problems.
Laboratory testing
Testing gives a clear picture of what is actually in the water before any treatment is chosen.
UV disinfection
UV systems help reduce microbiological risk when the water needs a hygiene focused treatment path.
Filtration
Sediment and multi stage filters help improve clarity and protect downstream equipment.
Softening and iron removal
We can address hardness, staining and related water quality issues with the right treatment setup.
How we choose the right treatment
The right treatment depends on what the water is being used for and what the test results show. Drinking water, household water and irrigation water may all need different levels of treatment.
Once we know the problem, we can recommend the most suitable option, whether that is UV, filtration, softening or iron removal.
Water testing and treatment, step by step
- 01
Collect a sample
We take a sample from the site so the water can be assessed properly instead of being judged by appearance alone.
- 02
Review the results
The laboratory result shows which issues are present, whether that is bacteria, hardness, iron or sediment.
- 03
Choose the treatment path
We recommend the right solution for the intended use, whether the water is for drinking, washing or general site use.
- 04
Install and confirm
After installation, we check that the system is working correctly and producing cleaner, safer water for the property.
What pairs well with testing and purification
Water quality is one part of the system. Storage, pumping and maintenance all affect how clean water performs once it reaches the property.
Stable storage and pressure
Water Storage & Pressure Systems
JoJo tanks, booster pumps, and pressure vessels.
Pump installation and fault finding
Pump Installation & Repair
Submersible pumps, controllers, and fault finding.
Lower running cost pumping
Solar Borehole Pumps
Off-grid agricultural and residential setups.
Long term system care
Maintenance, Servicing & Rehabilitation
Flushing old holes, replacing worn cables, emergency repairs.
Water Quality Questions Answered
Is borehole water safe to drink?
Sometimes yes, but not always. Testing is the only reliable way to know what treatment, if any, is needed before drinking it.
Do I need UV treatment?
UV is useful when the test results or intended use suggest disinfection is needed. We only recommend it when it fits the water quality issue.
Can you remove iron and staining?
Yes. Iron removal and filtration options can reduce staining, metallic taste and sediment related problems.
Should I test water more than once?
Testing again later is sensible when the borehole use changes or if the water starts to look, smell or taste different.
Can I use borehole water for drinking and irrigation together?
Yes, but the treatment should match the most sensitive use on the property. We help you choose a setup that works for all the intended uses.
