The short answer

Tank, Bore & River Water Explained

Tank, bore and river water filtration treats untreated water sources at your property, usually with sediment filters, backwashing filters and UV disinfection. Because these sources vary, water should be tested first. The Plumbing Gang’s licensed plumbers install and maintain systems matched to your results, with fixed-price options provided before work starts.

I am a disabled guy and Reegan attended my home at short notice to fix my blocked toilet plumbing. Reegans professionalism was amazing. He explained in full what the issue was and what he was doing as he did it. The work conducted was done in a professional manner and thoroughly checked it was working properly before he departed. Great guy and wonderful work ethic. I highly recommend these guys for any plumbing issues without any hesitation.

FAQs

Tank, Bore & River Water FAQs

Yes, tank, bore and river water should be tested first so the right treatment is chosen. Testing tells you what needs to be removed or treated.

A backwashing filter flushes trapped sediment out of the filter media so it can keep working. We set it up and explain how it operates.

UV treatment is used for disinfecting water. It is typically paired with sediment filtration, and the right setup depends on your test results.

Yes. Town water in SEQ is already treated and safe, so filters there are mostly for taste, chlorine and sediment.

In most cases we can work with your existing pump and plumbing. We will check the setup and confirm your options before work starts.
