In 2024, Biozone Manufacturing partnered with Gozone, a leading franchise offering water refills and purification services, to install state-of-the-art drinking gozone water filtration systems at five of their key retail outlets. Biozone is the preferred supplier and technical division for the Gozone Group nationally. This includes service level agreements and maintenance of all stores as well as new installations. These installations were part of our mission to ensure safe, clean, and purified water is accessible to local communities, utilising our advanced ozone technology and nanofiltration systems.
Here’s a closer look at the Gozone stores where Biozone installed purification systems:
- Gozone Woodmead
- Gozone Dowerglen
- Gozone Lambton
- Gozone Olivedale
- Gozone Parkdene
Each project not only enabled us to apply our water treatment expertise but also reinforced our commitment to community health and wellness by ensuring that every drop of water delivered meets the highest standards of purity.

Our Comprehensive Service Process
Biozone Manufacturing’s water purification solutions installations are not just about setting up machinery; they involve a thorough, multi-step process to ensure efficiency, quality, and sustainability. Here’s an overview of how we tailor our services to meet the needs of each Gozone store:
1. Site Visit
Our journey begins with an on-site evaluation at each Gozone location. Our expert technicians assess the available space, water supply, and specific requirements of the store. This ensures that the purification system we design is optimised for the site’s unique needs.
2. Designing the 7-Stage Process Flow
Next, we develop a customised seven-stage water purification process. This system is designed to turn municipal water into pure, clean drinking water, free from harmful contaminants and impurities.
3. Designing Steel Frames
The design of steel frames to house the purification system is crucial for durability and ease of maintenance. We ensure that the structure is robust and long-lasting, providing a stable foundation for the water treatment process.
4. Manufacturing and Assembly of the Skid
Once the design is approved, our manufacturing team creates the components of the water filtration system, assembling them onto a compact skid for easy transport and installation at the retail outlet.
5. Installation of the System in the Retail Outlet
Once the skid arrives at the Gozone store, our team installs it, ensuring that all components are properly integrated and connected to the store’s water supply.
6. Commissioning of the System
The final step involves the commissioning of the water treatment system. We conduct rigorous testing to ensure it functions optimally before the store opens to the public. This ensures that the franchise owner is ready to serve their customers with high-quality purified water from day one.
The 7-Stage Water Purification Process
At the core of our installation is our advanced seven-stage purification process, which guarantees the production of clean and safe drinking water:
- Municipal Water Inlet: The system starts with water sourced from the municipal supply.
- Raw Water Tank (750L): The water is collected in a 750 L tank, which holds the supply for pre-filtration.
- Pre-filtration:
- Activated Carbon Media: Removes chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and impurities that affect the taste and odour of water.
- Activated Glass Media: Filters out finer particles and contaminants.
- Reverse Osmosis (Purification): This stage eliminates up to 99% of dissolved salts, bacteria, and heavy metals, ensuring high-level water purity.
- Post-filtration:
- Element Filtration: Provides additional filtering to capture any remaining particles.
- Ozonation: Controlled by an ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) probe, the water undergoes timed ozonation circulation cycles, effectively disinfecting it and ensuring it’s free of microorganisms.
- Final Polishing Filter: A carbon block (CTO/GAC) filter provides a final polish, removing any remaining organic compounds and ensuring the water is crystal clear.
- Remineralization: Before the water reaches the customer, it is balanced with essential minerals, ensuring optimal pH levels and a refreshing taste.
Impacting Communities with Clean Water
The installation of these systems at Gozone stores has been a significant achievement for Biozone in 2024. Not only have we improved access to clean water for thousands of customers across these regions, but we’ve also strengthened our role as a key player in the water purification industry.
In particular, the installation of a water purification system for a school that provides 900 students with clean drinking water is a proud testament to our commitment to making a difference in local communities. Safe drinking water is critical for the health and well-being of these students, and Biozone is honoured to play a part in their future.
Looking Ahead
As we close the year, we’re excited about the future of our partnership with Gozone and other local businesses. The success of these projects highlights the importance of sustainable water treatment solutions, and we’re ready to continue our mission of bringing clean, safe water to communities across South Africa.
In 2025, we aim to build on this momentum, expanding our reach and developing new, innovative technologies that will further improve water quality and accessibility.
Stay tuned as we continue to make strides in air, water, and waste treatment technologies, contributing to a healthier, greener future for all.
