Which Greenway Deluxe UV Filter Option Suits Your Water Source?
Not all water is the same — and neither are the systems that treat it. Whether your home draws water from a roof tank, bore, creek, or dairy shed, the Greenway Deluxe UV Systems offer tailored protection to suit your needs. But which model is right for your setup?
This guide breaks down all six options so you can match your Greenway system to your water source — quickly, simply, and with confidence.
Why You Need UV Treatment for Tank and Surface Water
Rainwater, bore water, and surface water can all carry harmful microorganisms like E. coli, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium. While the water might look clean, these invisible germs can make your whānau sick.
UV disinfection is a safe, chemical-free way to kill these bugs. When combined with the right filters, it gives your whole house fresh, clear, and safe water from every tap.
What Is the Greenway Deluxe UV System?
The Greenway Deluxe range offers pre-built water treatment systems with:
- Stainless steel UV chamber + filter housings
- LED display with countdown to lamp change
- Optional flow restrictors for certified UV dosing
- Single or multi-stage filtration depending on your water source
Each system is designed for quick installation and long-term reliability — perfect for Kiwi homes and rural properties.
