Many households in in Australia and New Zealand draw directly off rivers and channels and use the water throughout the home. Unfortunately, as those households well know, the water generally contains suspended solids, high levels of organics or tannin’s, some chemicals and undesirable taste and odours.

River water quality also varies a lot particularly at times of high rainfall or when there is drought but also changes with the seasons every year. Periodically there is blooms of blue green algae (BGA) especially during the warmer summer months which is a toxic substance if and when consumed by humans or animals.

This makes that water at best very unpleasant to use in the home, reduces the life of any appliances that use water and is unsafe because of the bacteria. To these households filtration is a must, however the solutions have been few, expensive and often ineffective. They have been forced to truck the water in or rely on rainwater despite the plentiful supply of water right at their back door!
