In South Africa, untreated borehole and surface water often contains iron, manganese, bacteria, and elevated mineral levels that exceed SANS 241 standards." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What types of water treatment systems does iWater install?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "We design and install a wide range of treatment systems including reverse osmosis (RO) desalination, sediment and carbon filtration, UV disinfection, chlorine and chemical dosing, water softening, iron and manganese removal, and pH correction. Each system is tailored to your specific water source and quality requirements." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How do I know which treatment system I need?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The treatment solution depends on your water source (borehole, river, dam, municipal) and the contaminants present.

Small domestic systems may start from R30,000, while industrial plants can range from R250,000 to several million. We provide detailed quotations after a water analysis and site assessment." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What ongoing maintenance does a treatment system require?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Regular maintenance includes filter media replacement, membrane cleaning and replacement, UV lamp changes, chemical dosing calibration, and water quality monitoring. iWater offers comprehensive maintenance contracts to ensure consistent performance and compliance." } } ] } ] } --- [(010) 026 4225](tel:+27100264225)[admin@iwaterm.co.za](mailto:admin@iwaterm.co.za) Mon – Fri: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM [![iWater Management](/assets/iwater-logo-transparent-colour-Bjo3kDoS.webp)](/) [Home](/) [About](/about) [Services](/services) [Industries](/industries) [Locations](/locations) [Blog](/blog) [Contact](/contact) [Book Assessment](/book-assessment) [Back to Services](/services) # Water Treatment Custom-designed purification and treatment systems that transform any water source into safe, compliant, potable water — engineered for South African conditions.
