Water Purification Systems

Why Does Borehole Water Need Treatment?

Due to water moving through soil and rocks over a long period, it collects contaminants and certain physical characteristics, depending on the soil and environment it comes into contact with. For this reason, it often requires a water purification process to make it suitable for irrigation or safe for domestic use. A water analysis is always one of the most important steps to be taken before it is utilised.

Benefits of Water Purification Systems

  • Safe & Healthy Drinking Water
    Removes harmful bacteria, chemicals, and contaminants to ensure clean, safe water for everyday use.
  • Improved Taste, Odour & Clarity
    Eliminates unpleasant smells, chlorine, and sediments, resulting in clearer, better-tasting water.
  • Cost-Effective Long-Term Solution
    Reduces reliance on bottled water and lowers ongoing water-related expenses over time.
  • Reduced Environmental Impact
    Minimises plastic waste and supports a more sustainable, eco-friendly water solution.
  • Protects Appliances & Plumbing
    Prevents scale buildup and sediment damage, extending the lifespan of household appliances and pipes.
  • Reliable Water Quality from Any Source
    Treats borehole, river, dam, or municipal water to meet your specific quality requirements.
  • Convenience & Peace of Mind
    Provides consistent access to purified water, giving confidence in the safety of your supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is borehole water safe to drink?
Normally, a minimum of at least one sterilization step is required, and often a lot more; this will become evident once an analysis is completed.

Q2: How is borehole water purified?
This depends on the contaminants and physical attributes of the water and often entails both filtration and purification steps.

Q3: What contaminants are found in borehole water?
In our region of the Western Cape, the usual issues can include any of the following: hardness, low pH with resultant corrosiveness, metals, heavy metals, salinity, high silica, organic carbon, bacteria, colour, and turbidity.

Q4: What is the difference between filtration and purification?
Filtration removes solid particles (sediment, bacteria, parasites) using physical barriers, while purification goes further to remove dissolved contaminants (chemicals, viruses, salts) through processes like reverse osmosis, distillation, or UV light, ensuring water is safe for consumption.

At J Gey van Pittius, we combine expertise, experience, and quality solutions to ensure every client receives safe, reliable water. Whether for homes, gardens, or boreholes, our team is ready to tailor a purification system to your unique needs.
