Changing Places – Aqua Filter

After 18 years working out of his home in Snells Beach, Steve Reynolds is delighted to have opened his first shop in one of the most prominent locations in Warkworth.

Aqua Filter can now be found on the corner of Mill Lane and Whitaker Road.

Steve says it’s great to be able to have all his staff and stock in one place.

More importantly, he now has a showroom, which gives him the opportunity to demonstrate the full range of products available and how each element in a water filtration system integrates with the others.

“Previously, we had to walk customers through a whole system on paper,” he says.

Steve says his business is about giving people the confidence that their water is safe and healthy to drink.

This means removing chemicals and heavy metals from the mains supply and harmful bacteria from rural tank water, such as E. coli, and parasites such as giardia.

He says the great thing about being part of a nationwide company like Aqua Filter is having access to the best technology on the market, with international backing and new innovative products coming through.

This includes the latest in ultra violet filtration, ionisation, digital rain gauges and inverter technology water pumps.

Steve is especially pleased to be able to offer a pre-tank filter, which accomplishes the challenging task of removing the gunk from roof water before it enters a water tank, thereby keeping the tank much cleaner.

Steve has often seen customers who are horrified when they see what’s lurking in the bottom of a water tank that they have been drinking from.

“If you don’t have a filter, you are the filter,” he says.

Steve and the team are celebrating the new showroom with an open afternoon on May 18 from 2-6pm. All are welcome to grab something from the BBQ and have a drink.
