How to Create Healthier Workplaces with Advanced Water Filtration

Access to safe, high-quality drinking water in the workplace is a foundational part of meeting modern health, safety, and sustainability benchmarks. From WELL Building compliance to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments, the quality of hydration infrastructure plays a measurable role in how organisations care for their people and the planet.

Yet despite these expectations, many buildings still rely on systems that do little to address contaminants or prevent microbial risks. That gap in quality is where our advanced water filtration systems offer a certified, future-ready solution. These systems are backed by more than three decades of global innovation and local service support across New Zealand.

 

Why Better Water Quality Matters in the Workplace

Lead, chlorine, parasites, and other waterborne contaminants can undermine both occupant health and building compliance. Even when mains water is legally potable, it may still contain substances that affect taste, odour, or safety, especially in ageing infrastructure or high-use facilities.

This is particularly relevant for health and aged care environments, where vulnerable users require consistent access to hygienic water. It’s also a core consideration in WELL Building projects, which include hydration as a critical contributor to occupant wellness.

For specifiers, architects, and facilities teams, these risks present a clear question: is your current drinking water system meeting the expectations of health-conscious, regulation-driven workplaces?

High-Performance Filtration That Meets Global Standards

Utilising Fibron X® filtration technology in our systems provides a robust solution. Designed to remove common and harmful water contaminants, this filtration is trusted in some of New Zealand’s most hygiene-sensitive environments. Key capabilities include:

  • Up to 98.93% lead reduction with 0.2-micron filters
  • Effective removal of chlorine, sediment, and organic chemicals
  • Elimination of parasitic cysts like Giardia and Cryptosporidium
  • Single-use digital lockout and visual filter change alerts for hygienic maintenance

 

These filters are manufactured using activated carbon fibre with graded density technology, providing consistent performance and longer filter life. They are independently certified to NSF, WaterMark, WRAS, and IAPMO standards.

Whether you are managing an aged care facility or specifying for a government office, these systems provide confidence in both compliance and quality.

 

Supporting WELL Building and ESG Goals

We do more than improve water quality as we support broader design and sustainability outcomes. As a Cornerstone Member of the International WELL Building Institute, our solutions contribute to WELL v2 Hydration features.

Our product range is also GreenTag Gold Certified and supported by Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), offering transparency in lifecycle performance.

Additional sustainability benefits include:

  • Lower operational emissions through heat exchange and water-cooled technology
  • No cupboard ventilation or fan requirements
  • Reduction in single-use plastic through on-site filtration
  • Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality standards in Melbourne, Australia

 

For ESG reporting or Green Star projects, our systems offer measurable environmental contributions, alongside health-first functionality.

Simple to Maintain, Built to Last

Commercial infrastructure must be as easy to maintain as it is to specify. Our systems are designed for simplicity across their lifecycle.

  • Digital lockout prevents reused filters and eliminates risks of cross-contamination
  • Visual alerts on dispensers and under bench system screens notify users when maintenance is required
  • Installation is straightforward, with no ventilation or cabinetry cut-outs
  • Operation is quiet and energy-efficient, ideal for office, healthcare, or education settings
  • BilliCare service plans and a nationwide technician network ensure long-term support

 

Additionally, our service plans provide predictable maintenance schedules and cost control, giving facilities teams confidence in long-term performance.

 

Creating Healthier Workplaces, One System at a Time

Providing clean, sustainable drinking water is no longer a minor facility upgrade; It’s a strategic decision that supports staff wellbeing, environmental accountability, and operational resilience.

With our certified filtration technologies, organisations can align with WELL Building and ESG frameworks while improving the everyday experience of their occupants. Whether you’re designing for government, healthcare, or a corporate workspace, we offer systems that combine performance, compliance, and peace of mind.
