Filtration
Filtration systems are necessary
for untreated water sources
Water quality can vary significantly, especially when using groundwater or surface water for irrigation. Contaminants like sand, dirt, and organic matter can cause serious issues if they enter your irrigation system. Over time, these particles can build up inside pipes, block emitters, and lead to costly repairs or inefficient water distribution.
A filtration system helps protect your irrigation equipment by removing these impurities before they enter the system. This not only extends the lifespan of your equipment but also ensures that your water output is clean and unobstructed, which is essential for healthy growth of plants, livestock, turf and any other water application that has minimum water quality requirements.
Filtration also improves the overall efficiency of your irrigation system. Clogged emitters and pipes can reduce water flow, leading to uneven watering across your property. By keeping the water clean, filtration systems ensure that every part of your irrigation network is working as it should, helping you avoid water waste and maintain even coverage.

Comprehensive Filtration Solutions
Filtration is a critical but often overlooked component of an efficient irrigation system. Water used in irrigation frequently comes from sources such as bores, wells or dams, which may carry sediments, algae, and other impurities. Without proper filtration, these contaminants can clog pipes, damage equipment, and reduce the efficiency of your irrigation.
At BD Water, we provide filtration solutions designed to keep your system running smoothly, no matter the water source.
Custom filtration solutions
Every property is different, and that’s why BD Water offers custom filtration solutions to suit your specific needs. Whether you’re working with groundwater, surface water, or recycled water, our team will assess your water quality and recommend the best filtration system for your setup, ensuring that your water stays clean and your system runs efficiently.
Install and maintenance
Our expert team handles the full installation process, ensuring that your filtration system is set up correctly and efficiently.
Filtration systems maintenance includes cleaning or replacing filters, checking for clogs, and making sure that the system is free of any blockages. BD Water offers ongoing maintenance to ensure your water stays clean and your equipment protected.
Long-term benefits
By preventing clogs and protecting against sediment buildup, you’ll reduce the need for repairs and replacements, protecting your equipment. Clean water improves the health of your plants, turf or other use by delivering consistent hydration without contaminants. In addition to the practical benefits, filtration also allows you to prevent water waste, ensuring that every drop of water is used effectively.
Types of Filtration Systems
At BD Water, we offer a variety of filtration solutions tailored to your specific water source and irrigation needs. The type of filtration system you need depends on the quality of your water and the size of your irrigation system.
Screen Filters
These filters use a fine mesh screen to trap larger particles like sand and debris. They are simple to install and maintain, making them ideal for smaller irrigation systems that don’t deal with large amounts of contaminants.
Disc Filters
These are more advanced than screen filters and use a series of grooved discs to trap smaller particles. Disc filters are highly effective for systems that require finer filtration, for example, if exceptional water quality is needed.
Media Filters
For larger systems or those dealing with heavy sediment loads, media filters are the best option. These filters use a bed of sand or gravel to trap particles and remove organic material, ensuring the cleanest possible water.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I don’t know how my system works, will you demonstrate it to me upon completion?
We provide a complete explanation of the system’s entirety and run all interested parties through the various functions and settings of both the controller and stations subject to it, and for larger systems we do an on-site walk-through and handover.
A sheet with station information and our contact information will be present on the door of any controller we install for future follow up or query.
Can I prevent the staining from my bore?
Although Iron Bacteria can never be completely eliminated, as it lives naturally in many of the formations and aquifers, it can be regulated using a range of low impact, non-toxic chemicals to remove the bulk of bacterial substrate. This in turn reduces the amount of visible stain and odour.
Frequency of application is determined by the severity of the subterranean infection and subsequent staining. Existing staining can then be removed by a number of commercially available compounds such as X-Fe.
Other methods of stain prevention involve the design of your station spray coverage, minimising over-spray and infrastructure obstruction will reduce the impact of the staining while reducing the cost of stain removal considerably.
We offer decontamination and restoration services for problematic bores as well as treatment and filtration solutions.
Although iron bacteria can make water unsightly and cause an unpleasant taste and odour; there is currently no health risk associated with iron bacteria. There are also no active health concerns regarding iron presence in bore or drinking water.
Outside of visible staining, iron bacteria contributes to a great deal of system strain, such as pump corrosion, flow restriction, poor system operation and unpleasant working conditions for servicemen. If left to develop, it can lead to system failure, requiring costly repair or even pump replacement.
Does bore water need to be treated?
It may need to. Particularly if you are concerned with water quality, the first step in determining if treatment is needed is to conduct water quality testing. Once the test results are in, you can compare them with your required water quality indicators, and check if you need to treat it.
Generally, bore water doesn’t need to be treated it if it’s odourless, colourless, the pH tests greater than 5. If you have specific quality requirements for your water use, we can assess the filtration options you may need, and provide recommendations.
Bore water is not recommended for drinking water. If you do want to consume it, it’s important to test and chlorinate it properly. For more information about drinking from the water bores in Perth, consult the official drinking water guidelines.
