With iron deposits in our water, the filter system with regular replacement of filters, is still cheaper. Plus, we get filtered water through our toilets, wash basins and kitchen.

Toward the end of my building career I came upon a plumbing issue that I thought no Plumber could overcome … some attempted and some just walked away. Pete stunned me when he came up with a solution that fixed the issue.

In September 2018 Pete Drower installed a new Woodsman Tasman wood-burner for us. This included disconnecting and removing an old coal range with wetback, installing the new burner and connecting its wetback, installing the new flue and roof repairs where the previous flue had been. He also rectified existing cylinder plumbing which did not meet standards.

Pete arrived as promised and completed the work on the arranged date. I am completely satisfied with the results: everything works exactly as it should and the workmanship is tidy. Pete also returned on the day of the compliance inspection in case there were issues, but the inspection passed without a hitch.

I am happy with Pete’s work and we have already recommended him to two other people. I will be a repeat customer when the occasion arises.

I highly recommend Pete, he made the whole process so much easier and the work was done quickly and looks great. He was very helpful when choosing what we needed and researched different options which we appreciated as we were on a tight budget. I would happily use him for any future work.

We had a filter system installed when chlorine was added to our regional water supply, when this happened my eczema flared up. Within a couple of months of having the water filter installed my eczema improved.

The water is enjoyable to drink and cook with, unlike other houses we visit. Our garden, especially fruit trees and vegetables is not being polluted, which is great.

Well worth the investment.

Martyn’s testimonial

When the Hutt City Council put the chlorine in the water, I started to get sore red bleeding gums. This condition would come and go and my dentist couldn’t help.

Shortly after the water filter was installed, this condition stopped and at almost 12 months hasn’t returned. As well as having great tasting water, I wasn’t expecting this extra health bonus.

If we buy another house in the future, we’ll install another whole of house water filter, no matter where we live in New Zealand.
