Ultra Rural System

Ultra Rural System

Also known as Ultra Microbial Filtration System is a Core Filtration for Rural & Tank Water

A compact underbench filtration system designed for rural and tank water.

Reduces sediment, bacteria, and microorganisms commonly found in untreated water, improving clarity and safety at the point of use.

A practical foundation system for homes needing reliable core filtration.

What does this system remove?
  • Sediment (dirt, rust, debris)
  • Reduces bacteria and microorganisms (including Giardia & Cryptosporidium)
  • Microplastics and fine particles
  • Particulate contamination from tank or rural supply
What this system does not cover
  • Does not remove nitrates
  • Does not provide the same level of removal of dissolved contaminants as reverse osmosis
  • Does not include mineral restoration
  • Does not comprehensively reduce chemical contamination
Where this system fits
  • Core filtration system for rural water (REMOVE stage)
  • Designed for tank and untreated supply. As part of a broader water approach, it provides a high level of microbial protection without the need for chemicals or power.
  • A foundation system that can be expanded
When should I consider a different system?
  • If you want mineral balance → Alka Rural Total
  • If you have nitrate concerns → Nitrate filter or PureRevive
  • If you want more complete system → Alka Rural Total

    At 0.01 micron nominal, this ultrafiltration membrane is capable of removing bacteria, protozoa, and a significant proportion of virus-sized particles.

  • Supports a Complete Water System

    Designed to act as a bacteria protection stage of a broader water system.

    Can be paired with mineral restoration or advanced filtration depending on your water needs.

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
  • Choose a more comprehensive solution like PureRevive

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 filtration improves taste and reduces chemicals
2

RESTORE

(Optional Mineral Balancing)

Depending on your water source (particularly rainwater) it may be a good idea to add an Alka Spring to this system to:

  • Improve taste and mouthfeel
  • Reintroduce calcium and magnesium
  • Support a more balanced, familiar mineral profile
3

ACTIVATE

(Optional Upgrade)

Hydrogen systems can be added as an optional enhancement layer.
