Water Purification & Filtration in Sandton & Midrand

Johannesburg tap-water quality varies by suburb and is increasingly affected by ageing municipal infrastructure and tank-stored backup water. A properly specified filtration system removes sediment and chlorine taste, and — with UV or reverse osmosis — bacteria and dissolved contaminants. Apple Plumbing & Electrical supplies and installs whole-house and point-of-use water filtration across Sandton, Midrand, Fourways and Northern Johannesburg, matched to your actual water and household size.

What we do

We start by understanding your water source (municipal, borehole or backup tank) and concerns (taste, sediment, hardness, safety), then specify the right multi-stage system: sediment pre-filters, granular activated carbon for chlorine and taste, UV sterilisation for bacteria, and reverse osmosis for drinking-water purity where needed. Installs use isolation valves and serviceable housings so cartridge changes are easy. We also retrofit filtration onto JoJo backup-tank systems so stored water is safe to drink, and set up a simple service schedule.
