How It Works

Know What's Actually in Your Water

Testing water quality with a digital meter at a kitchen sink

A water test tells you exactly what's in your water before you decide what, if anything, to do about it. Rather than a home test strip that gives you a rough colour-change guess, your sample is professionally analysed by an accredited New Zealand laboratory, so what comes back is a real result, not an estimate. For a mains-supplied home that might mean checking chlorine and sediment levels, for a tank or bore property it can mean checking for bacteria, iron, or manganese as well. Either way, you get a clear, lab-backed answer instead of a guess.

Why It Matters

Why Test Before You Install

Recommending a filtration system without knowing what's actually in your water is a guess, not advice.

Testing first means any recommendation is based on what your property's water source actually needs, not a generic package. It also means if your water turns out fine, you'll know that too, there's no obligation to install anything after a test.

What's Checked

21 Parameters, Not a Guess

Your water sample is professionally analysed by an accredited New Zealand laboratory across 21 microbiological, chemical, mineral and general water quality parameters. We confirm exactly what's relevant to your water source before testing, rather than running a generic checklist.

Microbiological

The most important marker for tank and bore water safety.

  • E. coli

Metals & Health Indicators

The metals most likely to affect health if they build up over time.

  • Arsenic
  • Lead
  • Nitrate
  • Boron
  • Copper
  • Manganese
  • Zinc
  • Iron

Minerals & Major Ions

What drives hardness, scaling, and how your water tastes.

  • Calcium
  • Magnesium
  • Sodium
  • Potassium
  • Chloride
  • Sulphate
  • Alkalinity
  • Hardness

General Water Quality

The baseline markers that shape everything else in the report.

  • pH
  • Conductivity
  • Total Dissolved Solids
  • Turbidity
Any Water Source

Mains, Tank, or Bore, We Test It All

Whatever your property is supplied by, we can test it. If the results point to filtration being worth it, we can talk you through whole house or under bench options for your specific water source.

Our Process

How Water Testing Works

1

We Book Your Appointment

We arrange a time to visit your property and collect a water sample properly, whatever your source.

2

We Collect Your Sample

We collect the sample on-site and note anything relevant about your existing plumbing or water system.

3

Accredited Lab Analysis

Your sample goes to an accredited New Zealand laboratory and is tested across the parameters that matter for your property.

4

Your Results, Explained

Within around 7 to 10 business days, you'll get your results explained in plain language, with a recommendation only if one's worth making.

Your Report

What Your Report Actually Tells You

Most laboratories hand you a page of numbers. We explain what those numbers actually mean for your household, in a report that covers:

What Was Found

A clear summary of what showed up in your sample, not just raw figures.

Whether It Needs Attention

Whether a result is actually worth acting on, or safely within range.

What It Means for Your Household

How the results affect the people actually drinking, cooking, and bathing in that water.

Whether Treatment Is Worth It

Whether filtration or UV treatment would make a genuine difference, and which type.

What to Do Next

Clear next steps, written in plain language, not laboratory shorthand.

What You Don't Need to Fix

Just as important, what's already fine and not worth paying for.

Honest Recommendations

We'll Tell You If You Don't Need Anything

The point of testing isn't to sell you a filter. After your results come back, you'll hear one of three things.

No Treatment Required

Your results come back within range, and there's nothing worth spending money on.

A Minor Fix or Improvement

A small, specific change rather than a full filtration system.

A Suitable Filtration or UV Solution

If treatment is genuinely worth it, we'll explain exactly why, and what it costs.
