Andrew Jones
Master Plumber
At Aquafix, a water purification system is only as good as its installation. That is why every project is overseen by our Plumbing Master.
With over 10 years of experience in high-pressure plumbing and filtration design, Andrew bridges the gap between complex water science and practical home solutions.
How Andrew Makes the Difference:
-
Precision Engineering: Andrew doesn’t just "hook up pipes." He analyzes your home’s specific water pressure and flow rates to ensure your filters operate at maximum efficiency without stressing your existing plumbing.
-
Problem-Solving at the Source: He approaches every job with a "detective’s eye"—identifying hidden leaks or pipe.
How Does a Reverse Osmosis (RO) System Work?
The Process: Reverse Osmosis is a high-pressure purification method. Our systems use a microscopic filter that only allows pure water through. Think of it as an ultra-fine sieve that blocks everything but the water molecules themselves.
The Result: It captures contaminants as small as 0.0001 microns—including heavy metals (lead, mercury), fluoride, microplastics, and viruses.
-
Best for: Total purification and "bottled-water" quality at home.
What Makes Activated Carbon Filtration Effective?
The Process: Think of activated carbon as a chemical magnet. Through a process called adsorption, the porous surface of the carbon block traps and holds organic compounds and chemical residues as water flows through it.
The Result: removing chlorine and harmful chemicals found in industrial runoff or pesticides. These filters act like a chemical magnet to strip away impurities that affect both your health and the water’s taste."
-
Best for: Improving taste, removing odors, and chemical reduction.
Do I Need UV Sterilization for My Water Supply?
The Process: If you are using borehole or tank water, UV is your final line of defense. It uses high-intensity ultraviolet light to scramble the DNA of bacteria and pathogens, making them harmless.
The Result: 100% chemical-free disinfection. It ensures your water is biologically safe without changing the taste or pH balance.
-
Best for: Borehole water, rain harvesting, and rural properties.
Which Water Solution Is Right for My Home?
- For Homeowners:
Do you sometimes notice a 'swimming pool' chlorine taste when you turn on the tap? While this is a common complaint, it is actually a sign that your municipality is working to keep you safe.To ensure water remains free of bacteria as it travels through kilometers of aging pipes to your home, a 'residual' amount of chlorine is added at the treatment plant.
While this keeps the water biologically safe, it isn't ideal for drinking. Our carbon systems remove this excess chlorine at the point of entry, giving you the safety of municipal treatment without the chemical taste. - For Businesses: Ensure consistent water quality for your operations, enhancing customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. Our systems help reduce maintenance costs, comply with industry standards, and deliver reliable, high-volume water solutions tailored to your specific needs.
