Our Four-Pronged Approach to Complete Water Filtration

From improved flavour to fewer contaminants to longer lasting appliances, the benefits of filtered water are well-known. But less is understood about what goes into water filtration systems, and what different methods exist when it comes to effectively treating water.

At KP Water, we have done a lot of research into the various types of water filtration available so we can give New Zealanders the finest quality water. What we’ve learnt is that a combination of water filtration techniques is the best way to offer our customers the cleanest, healthiest, and best tasting water.

That’s why our water filtration system combines four different filters which all tout their own specific functions and benefits. Here’s how they work:

1. Sediment filters

Sediment filters clean your water by passing it through a porous material and trapping larger sediments such as sand, dirt, rust, and debris. Sediment filters are commonly found in both residential and commercial water filtration systems. They are known to effectively remove particles from your water that can be both bad for your health and hard on your pipes.

2. Carbon filters

These water filtration systems remove impurities using activated carbon. The activated carbon contains millions of tiny pores which trap impurities like chlorine, pesticides, and other organic compounds, removing them from your water. In doing so, carbon filters not only make your water healthier, but they make it taste better, too.

3. KDF filters

KDF filters use a mixture of copper and zinc to remove contaminants like chlorine, heavy metals, and bacteria from your water. They use a chemical process that transfers electrons in order to create new compounds that are less harmful. They can be used in a variety of settings, from the sink to the shower to whole-house water filters.

4. Magnetic filters

It’s our magnetic device that really takes water filtration to the next level. We pass your water through high strength magnets which change the constitution of calcium carbonate, turning it into a compound that is less able to stick to the surfaces of pipes and household appliances. By preventing build up, magnetic water filters improve the quality of your water and extend the lifespan of your appliances.

Using four filtration techniques in one

By using a combination of all four of these water filtration systems, we are getting the best of all worlds. We are eliminating sediments, chemicals, metals, and bacteria. We are offering you a water filtration system with a long shelf life. And, most importantly, we are bringing safe, healthy, and tasty drinking water into your home.
