Drinking Water Treatment
At Franklin Water, we believe that everyone deserves access to safe, great-tasting drinking water. By removing contaminants and harmful microorganisms, we not only protect public health but also ensure that every glass of water is clean, refreshing, and enjoyable.
Our team uses a range of proven technologies to deliver water treatment solutions that fully comply with the Water Services Act 2021 and New Zealand’s strict drinking water standards. Depending on the water source and local conditions, we design and install systems that may include:
- Membrane Filtration – ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis for removing fine particles, pathogens, and dissolved minerals.
- Validated Disinfection Systems – ultraviolet (UV) and chlorination for long-lasting microbiological protection.
- Activated Carbon Filtration – reducing taste, odour, and organic impurities for a fresher drinking experience.
- Water Softening – tackling hardness and mineral issues to protect infrastructure and improve water quality.
- Chemical Dosing and pH Control – keeping water balanced, safe, and compliant.
- Fluoride Dosing – supporting oral health outcomes in line with public health guidelines and community requirements.
For surface water sources such as rivers, lakes, or reservoirs, we apply multi-stage treatment processes, often combining coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration. This “multi-barrier” approach ensures water remains safe even when raw sources are exposed to changing environmental conditions.
At Franklin Water, our role goes beyond treatment. We are committed to protecting the integrity of New Zealand’s precious water supplies, supporting community wellbeing, and delivering sustainable solutions for future generations.
