Imagine this - the power goes out, and suddenly, your water supply disappears. No flushing toilets, no washing hands, and no refreshing drink. This frustrating scenario is all too common, especially during Waiheke Island's unpredictable weather. For most homes on the island, no power means no water. Toilets won’t flush, taps run dry, and daily routines come to a halt. But what if you never had to worry about power cut water woes again? That’s exactly why PumpPal was created – a local solution for a local problem. Designed by Waiheke’s own Marty Howard (co-Director of Tankman ).   PumpPal is a reliable battery backup system that integrates seamlessly with the Grundfos SCALA2 Eco Pump. The moment a power cut hits, PumpPal automatically kicks in, providing enough power to keep your water supply running carefully and continuously for 24+ hours. Compact, durable, easy to install and maintain, PumpPal takes the stress out of outages, giving local households the peace of mind that water will keep flowing when it’s needed most. More than a convenience, it’s a necessity for Waiheke Island living. 💧 See PumpPal in action at the Tankman showroom, 116 Ostend Road, Waiheke Island , phone (09) 372 7270 or explore more online at   www.pumppal.co.nz .

A new study  by the University of Otago's department of public health, has found rates of bacterial infection were twice as likely for people living in rural / island locations on private water tank supplies than for their mainland counterparts on treated water supplies. Campylobacterisos can be transmitted through drinking water or contaminated food, and is a gastrointestinal tract infection that results in vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain, fever or nausea. It was the most commonly reported gastrointestinal disease in New Zealand with 5000 to 6000 cases diagnosed each year, according to the National Notifiable Disease Surveillance data base.

We make rainwater safe to drink - Tank checks / cleans and UV + Filtration Servicing. ----------------------------------- Big Pohutukawa Season Ruins Waiheke Tank Water ----------------------------------- Brown, dirty tank water is often caused by tannins which are the result of water sitting in decaying vegetation and leaves. This is common in roof collected rainwater when big trees are nearby or in flower. Tannins will give your water a bitter taste and have an unpleasant odour, while the tea-coloured water will often leave stains on items like spas, sinks, and toilet bowls. Not something you would want, nor a guest to experience! Depending on the state of your tank water you may need option 1, option 2 or both! OPTION 1: Book a Tank Clean & Drain with a 10,000 litre fill $890 OPTION 2: Book installation of Tannin Filter Cartridge $890 (after you existing sediment house filter Book Now Puretec Tannin Removal Cartridge View Cartridge Recharge Instructions Autumn Special We are selling the tannin filter with its LARGE (Half Metre) cartridge housing for $695 plus $195 for a "standard" Waiheke central installation. The Purtec TR20MP2 cartridge removes tannin through the use of selective ion exchange resin. The TR Series cartridge is specifically designed to reduce tannin/organics only, so it is best used in conjunction with a two or three stage filtration system. The unit is installed in the water line after your filters. It is recommended to have sediment pre-filtration to avoid premature blocking of the TR Series cartridge, and carbon post-filtration to further reduce taste & odour. The TR Series cartridge will be regenerated prior to use using salts, and whenever the colour in the water starts to return and is suited to lower tannin issues in rainwater.
