Borehole Water Treatment Systems | Advanced Water Filters

When considering borehole water treatment solution for domestic or commercial use, it is crucial to purify the water that is mined from the ground.Whether your borehole supplies water to your home, industry, fruit or vegetable processing plant, the neighborhood school, clinic, or hospital, having a reliable filtration system is essential.

Biozone Manufacturing are manufacturers of Ozone technology. This makes our approach to sanitisation and disinfection extremely unique as we are able to eliminate bacteria on contact and without the need to constantly replenish expensive and harmful chemical equivalents. Ozone technology is completely eco friendly and is far more effective than any other form of disinfection methodology used in modern water filtration.

How to Purify Borehole Water for Drinking?

Biozone will assess your water analysis and design a tailor made solution. Guaranteeing water that is safe to use, drink and that conforms to World Health Organization drinking water standards (WHO). Through a process of prefiltration, purification and ozonation we are able to transform your water to the highest quality possible.

Common issues found in borehole water in South Africa

Bacteria/ Ecoli/ Colliforms/ Heterotrophic plate count	These bacteria’s are extremely common in borehole water. Caused by years of contamination and waste matter that seeps through the ground surface in into the underground water source or aquifers.
Heavy metals	Heavy metals such as Iron are common in borehole water. Which are deposited from underground rock formations and/or aquifers.
PH Levels	It is quite common for borehole water to be not within the PH guideline. It could either be acidic or alkaline causing the water to be corrosive.
Total Hardness	Total Hardness is the sum of the Magnesium and Calcium count in the water. Which causes scaling on most appliances within the home such as geysers/ kettles and taps.
Total dissolved Solids (TDS) / Sediment	During the drilling process it is common for the borehole to have sediment or particles making their way up into the feed water.

Biozone Manufacturing’s Success Stories

Biozone has had the honor of installing borehole water Filtration systems for many clients.

Helen Joseph Hospital Treatment Project

Biozone Manufacturing, and the Gift Of The Givers Foundation were appointed to provide a filtration system to substitute the hospitals municipal water supply. This borehole water treatment plant provides 60 000 liter’s per day of fresh, safe to drink water directly from the Earth into the hospital supply reservoir.

Gift Of The givers Ntsika Eastern Cape Treatment Project

Throughout 2022, Biozone Manufacturing designed, manufactured and installed eleven water purification plants around South Africa. Rural communities in Tzaneen, Limpopo, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape were fortunate to receive these systems that now provide water where there was none. Funded by the Motsepe Foundation. Biozone Manufacturing are extremely proud to be the preferred partner in water treatment.

FAQ's

What is a borehole water purification system, and why is it necessary?

It removes impurities, pathogens, and harmful minerals from underground water drawn from a borehole. Although boreholes can provide a reliable water source, the water is often contaminated with bacteria, nitrates, iron, manganese, or other pollutants that pose health and operational risks. Treatment is necessary to: Ensure safe, potable water for consumption Protect plumbing infrastructure from scaling and corrosion Meet compliance for agricultural, industrial, or commercial use Without proper purification, untreated borehole water may be unsafe for human consumption and unsuitable for high-standard operations.

How does Biozone’s borehole water filter system work?

Biozone integrates ozone disinfection, multi-stage filtration, and nanofiltration membranes to provide a complete treatment process. The system typically includes: Pre-filtration: Activated carbon, sediment, and media filters to remove particulates, chlorine, and organic matter Ozone disinfection: A powerful oxidising agent that destroys bacteria, viruses, and algae Nanofiltration: For the removal of heavy metals, nitrates, and dissolved solids Each solution is custom-designed based on your borehole water analysis and usage requirements, whether for residential, agricultural, hospitality, or industrial purposes.

What contaminants can be removed using borehole water treatment in South Africa?

Biozone’s systems are engineered to eliminate a wide range of contaminants, including: Pathogens: Bacteria (e.g., E. coli), viruses, protozoa Metals and minerals: Iron, manganese, calcium, magnesium Chemical compounds: Nitrates, sulphates, volatile organic compounds (VOCS) Odours and taste: Caused by hydrogen sulphide and organic matter Turbidity and sediment: For more transparent, cleaner water This ensures treated borehole water meets or exceeds potable water standards and industry-specific requirements.

Is the treated borehole water safe for drinking?

When treated with Biozone’s certified systems, borehole water can meet SANS 241 and other international drinking water quality standards. Our use of ozone, which leaves no chemical residues, and nanofiltration, which removes dissolved contaminants, ensures the water is clear, odourless, and microbiologically safe for human consumption. Routine testing and maintenance help maintain drinking water safety over the long term.

How often should borehole water purification systems be maintained?

Regular maintenance ensures consistent performance and water quality. We recommend: Filter changes every 3 to 6 months (depending on usage and source quality) Ozone generator servicing every 6 to 12 months System sanitisation and flushing periodically to prevent microbial buildup Water quality testing at least annually or when changes in taste/appearance occur Biozone offers preventative maintenance plans and support to ensure systems remain fully functional and compliant.

Can borehole filtration systems handle high water flow rates?

Absolutely. Biozone designs scalable systems that can handle flow rates from 500 litres per hour to over 10,000 litres daily, depending on your application. Our treatment solutions are ideal for: Schools, clinics, and lodges Farms with irrigation or livestock requirements Industrial operations and process water systems Customised pre-filtration, tank sizing, and pump configuration ensure stable pressure, optimal flow, and reliable operation—even in high-demand environments.
