For those who haven’t met me yet, I’m Nicole one of the team behind Filtration Canterbury.

Water quality is something I’m incredibly passionate about, because what comes out of your tap affects your family’s health, your skin, your animals, your appliances, and even the taste of your tea and coffee every single day.

At Filtration Canterbury, I help households across New Zealand; to remove the things you don’t want in your water — like chlorine, nitrates, heavy metals, pesticides, and sediment.

I specialise in simple, effective whole-house filtration systems that work with your mains pressure and can often be installed by a handyman. No complicated setups, just clean, fresh water from every tap in your home.

Whether you’re on town supply, rainwater, bore, or stream water — there is always a way to improve your water.
If you’ve ever wondered what’s really in your water, I’m always happy to have a chat.

Better water starts at the source.

Ever noticed your shower smells like a public pool?

That’s chlorine.

It’s added to town water to kill bacteria — which is great for safety — but not so great for your skin, hair, clothes, or garden.

Chlorine in everyday water can contribute to:
🚿 Dry, itchy skin after showering
💇‍♀️ Brittle hair and faded colour
👕 Stiff, scratchy towels and clothes
🌱 Stress on plants and soil microbes
👃 That strong “chemical” smell from the tap

And because you shower in it, wash in it, and breathe the steam, you’re exposed to it far more than you think.

The good news? You can remove it before it reaches a single tap.

Whole-house filtration reduces chlorine at the point where water enters your home — so every shower, wash, and rinse is gentler on you and your home.

A simple upgrade you’ll notice every day.

Ever wondered why your skin feels dry and itchy after a shower… and why nothing seems to grow properly where your hose runs in the garden?

Chlorine is added to town water to kill bacteria and make it “safe” to drink — but it doesn’t switch off once it gets to your home.

That same chlorine:
• Strips natural oils from your skin and hair
• Can leave you feeling itchy, dry, and irritated after bathing
• Affects sensitive skin and eczema sufferers even more
• Kills the good microbes and worms in your garden soil when you water plants

Worms and soil life are essential for healthy gardens — and they don’t cope well with chlorinated water.

So while chlorine does an important job at the treatment plant, it’s not something you necessarily want in every shower, every load of washing, or soaking into your garden.

Filtering chlorine at the point where water enters your home means better water for your skin, your family, and even your garden 🌱

Your water should feel good — not leave you scratching your head (and your arms!).

If you’ve noticed dry skin, dull hair, or struggling plants… your water could be the reason.

After a long ANZAC weekend, many of us slowed down, spent time at home, caught up with family… and probably used a lot more water than we realised

Extra showers. Extra dishes. Extra cups of tea. Extra loads of washing.

But here’s a thought…

We’re careful about the food we put in our bodies.
We’re mindful of the air we breathe.

But when was the last time you thought about the water running through every tap in your home?

The water you drink.
The water you cook with.
The water your kids bathe in.
The water your animals drink.

It might look clean… but what’s actually in it?

Chlorine. Sediment. Heavy metals. Nitrates. Things you can’t see, taste, or smell.

A long weekend at home is the perfect reminder that water is something we use all day, every day — without ever questioning it.

Maybe it’s time to start

If you’ve ever wondered whether your home water could be better, cleaner, and healthier — now’s a good time to ask.

Your water should work for you, not against you

Nitrates in Drinking Water – What Every Household Should Know

In many parts of Canterbury and rural New Zealand, nitrate levels in private bore water are increasing. Nitrates are invisible, odourless, and tasteless in water, meaning contamination cannot be detected without proper testing.

Elevated nitrate levels in drinking water can pose health risks, particularly for infants, pregnant women, and vulnerable individuals. Because of this, the New Zealand Drinking Water Standards set a maximum allowable value for nitrate to protect public health.

For households relying on private bores, rural supplies, or untreated water sources, testing and treatment may be necessary to ensure your drinking water meets safe standards.

How Nitrates Can Be Removed

One of the most effective technologies for removing nitrates from drinking water is Reverse Osmosis (RO) filtration. This advanced purification process removes dissolved contaminants at a molecular level, producing clean, high-quality drinking water directly at the tap.

What Filtration Canterbury Can Help With

✔ Water testing and nitrate assessment
✔ Clear explanation of your water results
✔ Proven nitrate removal solutions for homes and farms
✔ Systems designed to meet NZ Drinking Water Standards

If your home relies on bore water or rural supply, it may be worth checking what is really in your drinking water.

📞 Talk to the team at Filtration Canterbury today to arrange a water check or discuss treatment options.

Clean water starts with knowing what’s in it.

Looks can be deceiving — clear water isn’t always clean

Town supply water can contain chlorine, fluoride, sediment, and microorganisms that may impact your health, affect taste, and shorten the life of your plumbing and appliances.

With our trusted NZ filtration solutions, you can take control of your water quality from the moment it enters your home to the final glass you pour.

✔️ Systems designed to reduce chlorine & fluoride
✔️ Complete UV treatment setups for added protection
✔️ Replacement UV lamps and pre-filters
✔️ Filter cartridges for kitchens, whole homes & rural supplies
✔️ Fast NZ-wide delivery and knowledgeable support

Upgrade to safer, better-tasting water today — because every drop matters.

2026 energy check

This year is about doing better—
for our health, our families, our animals… and yes, even our water.

We upgrade our phones
We change our diets
We invest in our homes

…but many of us are still drinking the same water that carries chlorine, nitrates, heavy metals and other unwanted extras

A water filter in 2026 isn’t a luxury.
It’s a no-brainer.

✨ Better-tasting water
✨ Peace of mind for your family & pets
✨ Less plastic, fewer bottles, more sustainability
✨ Confidence in what’s coming out of your tap

Because clean water shouldn’t be a “maybe”.
It should be a standard.

Make 2026 the year you stop guessing what’s in your water—and start knowing

Your future self (and your kettle, skin, pets, and plants) will thank you

That’s why I’m so passionate about helping families and communities enjoy water that’s free from contaminants like nitrates, chlorine, pesticides, and heavy metals.

💧Let’s make 2026 the year we take care of ourselves and our loved ones by focusing on essentials like fresh water, healthier habits, and better living. Pure water means peace of mind – a small change that can make a big difference every day.
