Alka Rural Total

Alka Rural Total

A complete underbench filtration system designed for rural and tank water.

A complete underbench system designed for rural and tank water.

Reduces sediment, microorganisms, and environmental contaminants while restoring minerals for improved taste and balance.

A reliable, non-powered solution for everyday rural drinking water.
What does this system cover
  • Sediment (dirt, rust, debris)
  • Bacteria and microorganisms (including Giardia & Cryptosporidium)
  • Microplastics and fine particles
  • Chemical contaminants commonly found in rural environments (including residues from agricultural runoff and spray exposure)
  • Heavy metals such as lead and other contaminants associated with pipes and storage systems
  • Improves taste and clarity
What this system does not cover
  • Does not remove nitrates by default
  • Does not provide the same level of removal of dissolved contaminants as reverse osmosis
Where this system fits
  • Complete system for most rural water conditions (REMOVE + RESTORE)
  • Designed for tank, bore, and untreated supply
  • As part of a broader water approach, it provides a high level of microbial protection without the need for chemicals or power

When should I consider a different system?
  • If nitrates are present → add nitrate filter or PureRevive
  • If water quality is unknown → PureRevive
  • If you want maximum filtration → PureRevive
What’s included in the system?
  • Multi-stage filtration system
  • Sediment filtration
  • Carbon + KDF filtration
  • Ultrafiltration stage
  • Alka Spring mineral cartridge
  • T-Line Diverter Vlave
  • Pressure reducing vlave
  • John Guest fittings
  • Tubing

IS THIS THE RIGHT SYSTEM FOR YOU?

  • Restored Mineral Balance

    After filtration, essential minerals such as calcium and magnesium are reintroduced to restore balance and improve taste, helping bring your water closer to a more natural, spring-like profile.

  • Complete Rural Water System

    A complete system designed for rural and tank water, targeting sediment, bacteria, and common environmental contaminants often found in untreated supply. At 0.01 micron nominal, this ultrafiltration membrane is capable of removing bacteria, protozoa, and a significant proportion of virus-sized particles

  • Designed for Everyday Use

    Installed neatly under your sink, providing consistent, clean drinking water for daily use without changing how your kitchen works.

  • Built for Rural & Tank Water

    Ideal for homes using rainwater or rural supply, where mineral levels can vary and contamination risks differ from treated city water. Important for rainwater: Helps restore minerals often missing from tank water.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

1

REMOVE

Biological & Particulate Filtration
This system focuses on the primary risks found in rural water sources:
  • Sediment filter removes dirt, rust, and particles
  • Ultra filtration removes bacteria and microorganisms
  • Carbon + KDF reduces chemicals and heavy metals
2

RESTORE

Mineral Balance
After filtration, water is remineralised to:
  • Reintroduces calcium and magnesium
  • Restores a more natural mineral balance
  • Improves taste and mouthfeel
3

ACTIVATE

(Optional Upgrade)
Hydrogen systems can be added as an optional enhancement layer.

Nitrate Considerations

Nitrates are a known concern in some rural areas of New Zealand, particularly where agricultural activity is present.

This system does not remove nitrates by default.

If nitrates are a concern, you can:

  • Add a dedicated nitrate filter to this system
  • Choose a more comprehensive solution like PureRevive
