• Heavy Metals (Iron, Manganese, Arsenic)

    Common in groundwater and influenced by local geology. Can affect taste, cause staining, and build up over time depending on concentration.

  • High Mineral Content (Hardness)

    Bore water often contains elevated calcium and magnesium. This can lead to scale buildup, reduced appliance efficiency, and changes in how water feels on skin.

  • Iron & Manganese Staining

    Frequently seen in bore water, leaving orange or black staining on sinks, laundry, and fixtures, along with metallic taste.

  • Nitrates & Nitrites

    More likely in areas with agricultural activity or septic systems. These can enter groundwater and are monitored due to potential health considerations.

  • Salinity & Dissolved Solids (TDS)

    Higher levels of dissolved salts and solids can affect taste, corrosion, and overall water usability.

  • Sulphur (Hydrogen Sulphide)

    Can cause strong odour (rotten egg smell) and affect taste. Common in certain groundwater conditions.

  • Bacteria & Microorganisms

    Unlike treated water, bore water may contain naturally occurring bacteria depending on source protection and maintenance.

  • Sediment & Fine Particles

    Sand, silt, and organic material can enter the system, especially without pre-filtration, affecting clarity and performance.

  • Environmental Contaminants

    Groundwater can be influenced by surrounding land use, with contaminants entering through soil over time.

Bore water requires a tailored approach

Bore water can vary significantly from property to property, which means the right solution depends on what’s actually in your water.

Before recommending any system, it’s important to understand your specific water profile.

Start with testing

To ensure you get the right outcome, we strongly recommend having your water tested first. This allows us to accurately identify contaminants and design a filtration or purification solution that will work effectively for your setup.

Speak with our team

Once you have your results, our team is here to help.

Connect with a filtration specialist and we’ll guide you through the next step. We can provide a secure link for you to upload your water test results, or walk through them with you on a call and explain exactly what they mean and what solution is best suited to your water.

Take the next step

Bore water isn’t one-size-fits-all - but with the right data and the right guidance, it can be treated effectively.
