As architects, you play a crucial role in shaping the spaces where people live, work, and thrive. Your designs not only reflect aesthetic considerations but also impact the health and well-being of occupants. With the decline in South Africa’s water quality and supply, back-up water system or off grid borehole water are afterthoughts, and space allocation for the treatment systems are usually not taken into account.

Incorporating water treatment systems into your designs can greatly enhance the quality of life for homeowners while contributing to sustainable living practices. Here’s why we believe water treatment should be a fundamental consideration in every architectural project:

Health and Safety: Clean water is vital for maintaining good health. By integrating water treatment systems, you can ensure that the water supply in homes is free from harmful contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and chemicals. This is particularly important in areas where municipal water treatment may be insufficient or where well water is the primary source.

Enhanced Comfort and Convenience: Water treatment systems can improve the taste, odour, and appearance of water, providing a more pleasant experience for homeowners. Systems like water softeners can also prevent scale buildup in plumbing fixtures and appliances, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

Future-Proofing: As water quality regulations become stricter and environmental concerns grow, having robust water treatment systems in place can future-proof homes against potential water quality issues. Designing with these systems now can save homeowners from costly retrofits or upgrades in the future.

Value Addition: Homes equipped with water treatment systems offer added value to potential buyers. These systems are considered desirable features that can differentiate properties in a competitive real estate market, potentially increasing resale value.
