Understanding Water Quality: Testing and Maintenance

Clean, safe water is a cornerstone of health, yet most of us rarely consider the contaminants that might be present in our water supply. For homes, workplaces, and healthcare settings alike, water quality plays a vital role in daily life.

Billi has over 30 years experience perfecting advanced filtration systems designed to remove contaminants and deliver superior water quality on demand. This guide will explore the essentials of water quality, practical methods for testing and maintenance, and how our filtration technology ensures the highest standards of purity.

What’s in Your Water, and Why Quality Matters

From metals like lead to common chemicals such as chlorine, a surprising range of contaminants can affect the quality of drinking water. These substances influence not only taste but also health, making it essential to understand what’s in your water and the benefits of quality filtration.

• Heavy Metals (Lead): Even trace amounts of lead in water can have long-term health consequences, particularly for children, where it’s been linked to cognitive issues (National Library of Medicine). Billi’s Fibron X® filters address this, removing up to 98.93% of lead and other heavy metals, ensuring safe drinking water for all.
• Chlorine and Other Chemicals: Often added to water supplies to reduce bacteria, chlorine can create an unpleasant taste and odour, and also has its own health considerations. Billi’s advanced filters effectively reduce chlorine and other organic chemicals, enhancing both safety and flavour.
• Microorganisms: Invisible but impactful, microorganisms like giardia and cryptosporidium can cause gastrointestinal illness (Department of Health), especially in vulnerable populations. Billi filters, designed with multi-stage technology, tackle these pathogens to keep water safe.

How to Test Your Water Quality and When to Do It

Routine testing helps ensure water meets the safety and taste standards you expect. Testing is particularly important if you’ve recently moved, notice a change in taste or colour, or manage a commercial or healthcare setting where water quality compliance is essential.

• Home Testing: Basic testing options, such as pH strips or kits, provide a snapshot of chlorine levels or other indicators. These are convenient for regular check-ups at home.
• Professional Testing: For a deeper analysis, lab testing is recommended, especially when verifying the presence of heavy metals or pathogens. Professional testing can give a detailed report on a range of contaminants, helping you make informed decisions about your water system.

However, with Billi NZ’s advanced filtration systems, many of these testing worries are mitigated. Billi’s filters actively reduce a wide spectrum of contaminants, making regular testing a reassurance rather than a necessity.

Keeping Your Water Safe with Filtration and Purification Systems

Achieving high water quality isn’t just about removing contaminants once; it’s about keeping them out consistently. Billi’s technology offers robust filtration and purification to ensure your water is safe every time you pour a glass.

Fibron X® filtration technology is Billi’s multi-stage process to trap sediment, chlorine, organic chemicals, and heavy metals, ensuring only the purest water flows through your tap. This filtration technology is especially suited to homes and offices prioritising safe, great-tasting water.
