bench top water filters

A bench top water filter is ideal if you are renting a property or want to take a water filter with you when you travel.

Alternative systems are
• Underbench Systems - If your in your own home & want a single kitchen tap purified for drinking.
• Whole House Systems - If you would like your whole house filtered.

Bench Top System

All bench top water filters come with diverter valves standard. These can be fitted to most taps in NZ and we can come around and do this for you. There is usually an adaptor required for this. We can also attach these bench top filters to your tap using push on rubber sockets which make these bench top filters truly movable as they can then be attached to any tap.

There are two types of bench top filters suitable for town or rural water supply, being KDF/GAC Benchtop & Solid Carbon Block water filters.

If you are on Tank Water - There is only one type of bench top water filter suitable for tank water supply. This filter is Giardia and Cryptosporidium safe, however IT WILL NOT REMOVE MICROBIOLOGICAL IMPURITIES such as E-coli and bacteria.

To remove e-coli please see our underbench e-coli eliminator or our whole house UV or homespring options
