Southland Water Filter Taps & Under Bench Filtration Systems

While tap water in areas like Invercargill meets national safety standards, it can still carry traces of chlorine and other contaminants that affect flavour, clarity and peace of mind.

Whether you’re health-conscious, environmentally aware or simply tired of benchtop clutter, the search for better water often leads to more questions than answers. What actually works? Will it suit your kitchen? And is it worth the investment?

Billi NZ have spent over 30 years developing compact, energy-efficient water filtration systems that fit the way Kiwis live. Learn why under bench filtered taps are becoming the go-to for Southland residents, and how to choose a system that delivers quality, sustainability and simplicity.

Why water quality still matters in Southland

Southland’s tap water is generally safe, but ‘safe’ doesn’t always mean enjoyable. Some homes across Invercargill and the wider region report water that tastes of chlorine, leaves residue in tea, or carries an odour from the tap.

Even when water is treated at the source, it can pick up compounds through ageing pipes, affecting both taste and appearance. Common concerns in the region include:

• Chlorine or metallic taste
• Cloudiness or floating particles
• Film on boiled drinks like tea and coffee
• Reliance on bottled water for better taste

What under bench filtration and filtered taps do differently

Unlike benchtop filters or jug systems, under bench filtration connects to your mains water, treating it before it reaches the tap. This eliminates the need for daily maintenance, bulky appliances, or repetitive boiling. Billi systems offer:

• Instant boiling, chilled or sparkling water
• Filtered water from a sleek, minimalist tap
• Filtration performance that removes chlorine, cysts, taste, and odour
