Particles in alkaline water

We love the alkaline water but this last filter had white mineral particles floating in the water for about 2 weeks. They’ve mostly gone now but most of the family won’t use the alkaline tap now

Happy Customer

Fantastic customer service and prompt delivery!
Have combined with FluorEx Max cartridge for an under sink set up - working well and tasting great.

All is well thank you

Peace of Mind with Ionza's Triple-Filter Under-Bench System

Loving our under bench water filter system from Ionza.... its nice to known our drinking water is extra safe after passing thru 3 filters!!

gained huge relief

Product arrived promptly
Unit came with fittings which made it a breeze to install in my existing under-sink filtration system. Best part of the circuit is to cut the hose between the system's outlet and the bench-top tap, and insert the cartridge there.

The water has fine bubbles - hydrogen so I'm told - which are good for you. The pH tests to over 9, full-time on tap 24 hours a day.

My wife and I have had unexpected health benefits already - my wife has gained huge relief from deep chronic bone-aches which were giving her agony every morning, and I have had a marked reduction in night-time snoring. It's possible that the alkaline water has been reducing inflammation levels in the body for both of us.

Normally, if you want healing waters, you have to move to an area that has the right kind of mineral stream. But with this little cartridge, you can have these healing waters on tap for over a year or more.

We value the quality

I can only say that I really value the quality of Ionza products, as well as Josef's knowledge and passion

A fan

Im a fan of Ionza products too - when I first looked in to treatment system for our tank water Ionza was most forthcoming with all the technical data to back up their claims, and patient enough to stay in touch till I could afford to get the system underway. They always seemed to me to be principle driven and thorough in their methods and objectives, along with pleasant to deal with.

So good!!

Finally got our rural filter setup installed today.... so good!!
The water tastes amazing!
Will be in touch when we need to replace the filters!!

best investment Ive made for my gut health

This is the best investment Ive made for my gut health.
After years living rurally with access to naturally collected rainwater or spring water, I moved to the city and within days was feeling sick again from drinking the town supplied water. It smells bad, tastes worse and gives me acid re-flux and nausea. I was hoping there was a solution and decided to give this a go after a friend recommended it. Ive been really pleased with what I got. Its water I actually want to drink, so I drink more of it. It tastes and smells great and feels good. And of course it saves me a bunch of money on bottled water that I dont want to buy and dont want to support because of all the plastic used. I couldnt be without it now.

Happily surprised

I don’t tend to drink much water, but since I use this product I am looking forward to drinking just water, as the taste is surprisingly delicious !

Water tastes great

High quality product and lovely helpful people

Great Product

I had this system fitted and have never looked back. The system I have is really simple but makes a big difference.

How often does it need replacing?.

Ionza

The standard replacement schedule is every 12 months.
However, the Active Pure Carbon Filter included in the Alka Rural Total System has a longer lifespan and is recommended for replacement every 36 months.
This gives customers a clear baseline (12 months) while highlighting the upgraded benefit of the system (36 months).

IS THIS THE RIGHT SYSTEM FOR YOU?

Restored Mineral Balance

After filtration, essential minerals such as calcium and magnesium are reintroduced to restore balance and improve taste, helping bring your water closer to a more natural, spring-like profile.
Complete Rural Water System

A complete system designed for rural and tank water, targeting sediment, bacteria, and common environmental contaminants often found in untreated supply. At 0.01 micron nominal, this ultrafiltration membrane is capable of removing bacteria, protozoa, and a significant proportion of virus-sized particles
Designed for Everyday Use

Installed neatly under your sink, providing consistent, clean drinking water for daily use without changing how your kitchen works.
Built for Rural & Tank Water

Ideal for homes using rainwater or rural supply, where mineral levels can vary and contamination risks differ from treated city water. Important for rainwater: Helps restore minerals often missing from tank water.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

1

REMOVE

Biological & Particulate Filtration

This system focuses on the primary risks found in rural water sources:

Sediment filter removes dirt, rust, and particles
Ultra filtration removes bacteria and microorganisms
Carbon + KDF reduces chemicals and heavy metals

2

RESTORE

Mineral Balance

After filtration, water is remineralised to:

Reintroduces calcium and magnesium
Restores a more natural mineral balance
Improves taste and mouthfeel

3

ACTIVATE

(Optional Upgrade)

Hydrogen systems can be added as an optional enhancement layer.

Nitrate Considerations

Nitrates are a known concern in some rural areas of New Zealand, particularly where agricultural activity is present.

This system does not remove nitrates by default.

If nitrates are a concern, you can:

Add a dedicated nitrate filter to this system
