Some houses have bore water, but the quality can vary substantially. Our bore, for example, contains a very high iron content, and we were informed it could cost about $6000 just to filter that out.

We were also told that there was no point getting tank water tested as the next rainfall could wash anything into the tank and make the readings useless.

What we've installed is the highest level of filtration, which takes out any 'bits', colour, taste, smell and kills any and all bacteria (UV). Our tap water is probably better that the city water now! Still havent tried it though :icon_cool:
