Safe H2O Auckland are now operating in your area. The Safe H2O process retains and purifies your precious water, meaning there is no requirement to purchase replacement water.

The mobile unit is equipped with state-of-the-art nano-filtration. Tank sediment is vacuumed from the bottom of the tank and the balance of the water is cycled through the system removing pesticides and other contaminants to make your drinking water safe. The purified water is returned to the tank ready for use.

For more detailed information about our process please visit www.safeh2o.co.nz

The Ministry of Health recommends water tanks are inspected and cleaned annually. Call Hamish on 027 2766950 or email auckland@safeh2o.co.nz for pricing & more information or to book a tank clean.
