Water Filters Durban
Water filtration for Durban properties dealing with supply interruptions, storage tanks, discoloured water after outages and rainwater harvesting.
How we work in Durban
Durban's municipal supply is treated to drinking standard, but supply interruptions and ageing pipework in parts of eThekwini mean many properties use storage tanks and see sediment or discolouration when the water comes back. Filtration here usually starts with sediment control and a carbon stage for taste and odour.
Durban's rainfall also makes rainwater harvesting practical for many homes. Rainwater used indoors needs debris screening, fine sediment filtration and UV for bacteria, and we size those stages around the tank and the pump.
What the specification covers
Supply interruptions and rainwater tanks shape most Durban systems.
Supply interruptions
Storage and sediment control keep water usable when the mains supply is off.
Rainwater harvesting
Screening, filtration and UV make tank water suitable for indoor use.

FAQs
Questions before we quote
Can I drink filtered rainwater in Durban?
It can be made drinkable, but only with the right stages: screening, sediment filtration, carbon and UV, maintained on schedule. We recommend testing the water once the system is running.
What size filter do I need after a storage tank?
It depends on the pump's flow rate and how many outlets run at once. We size the housing and micron rating so the filter does not starve the pump or drop the pressure.
How often do filters need changing on tank water?
More often than on mains water, because tanks collect sediment. Check the sediment cartridge every few months and replace it when the pressure drops or it discolours.
