Many Hawke’s Bay homeowners wonder about their tap water. Questions like, “Is it safe to drink?” or “Could it taste better?” are common. You’re not alone if you’re considering water filtration for your home.
This guide will explore four Puretec NZ water filtration options. As your local Puretec supplier and installer, East Coast Plumbing and Gas can help you find the perfect solution for your Hawke’s Bay home.
Why Should You Filter Your Water in Hawke’s Bay?
Hawke’s Bay water is generally safe to drink. However, many residents choose to filter their water for improved taste and peace of mind. Chlorine is often used in the local water supply, which can affect the taste. Filtering your water can remove chlorine and other unwanted chemicals. This can lead to cleaner, better-tasting drinking water. If you suffer from skin complaints or sensitivity you may also notice less skin sensitivity after filtering household water.
What are the Best Water Filtration Options for Hawke’s Bay Homes?
Choosing a water filter can seem overwhelming. There are many options available. We recommend Puretec NZ products for their quality and value. Here are four popular Puretec filtration systems suitable for residential homes:
- Puretec PureMix Filters for Existing Taps (e.g., PureMix Z2, PureMix Z6): These systems install discreetly under your kitchen sink. They connect directly to your existing kitchen tap. This provides filtered water on demand without needing an extra tap. They are excellent for improving taste and removing chlorine, sediment, and odours. The PureMix Z2 is a compact option, while the PureMix Z6 offers enhanced filtration.
- Puretec PureMix Z7 Under-Sink Filter with Dedicated Tap: This popular system installs under your kitchen sink. It comes with its own separate tap for dispensing filtered water. The PureMix Z7 removes a wide range of contaminants, including chlorine, sediment, and bacteria. It’s ideal for high-quality drinking and cooking water. Contact East Coast Plumbing and Gas for installation costs in your Hawke’s Bay home.
- Puretec Sparq S5 Benchtop Tap & Filter Kit: If an under-sink installation is not ideal, a benchtop filter kit like the Sparq S5 is a great alternative. This system sits on your counter and provides filtered water through a dedicated tap. It offers a convenient way to access clean, great-tasting drinking water without altering existing plumbing.
- Puretec Whole-Home Water Filtration Systems (e.g., WH2 Series): These comprehensive systems filter all water entering your home. This ensures every tap, shower, and appliance receives purified water. Options like the Puretec WH2-30 are suitable for small to medium homes, while the WH2-55/60 models offer higher flow rates for larger residences. Whole-home systems provide the most extensive filtration benefits for your entire household. East Coast Plumbing and Gas can help you choose the right system based on your water usage and specific needs.
How to Choose the Right System for Your Home
Consider your budget and how much water you use. Think about what specific contaminants you want to remove. For improved taste and basic filtration, a PureMix filter for existing taps or an undersink filter might suffice. For more comprehensive removal of contaminants, a whole-house system may be a better choice.
A water test can identify any specific contaminants present in your water. This information is crucial for selecting the most effective filtration system. Testing is especially important if your home uses rainwater tanks or a bore.
Investing in a water filtration system offers significant benefits for your family’s health and well-being. Our experts at East Coast Plumbing and Gas can assess your needs. We’ll recommend the right Puretec system and ensure correct, professional installation. We also offer ongoing maintenance services to keep your system performing optimally.
