Wastewater solutions for every site
Choosing the right wastewater treatment solution for your site can be overwhelming. That’s why we’re different in our approach to your site.

We’re never going to try and make a ‘certain’ treatment system fit your site. We start by assessing your site and discussing your plans and dreams for your property. We then can help you select the most suitable location for your disposal area which will also help determine the most appropriate land application system for your site. From there we can evaluate which wastewater treatment system will be the best fit for you and your lifestyle. Having a wide range of treatment options means we can take an agnostic approach and genuinely select the right system for your backyard.
With WaterFlow you know you will be getting a tailored solution, that suits you every time.
How it works
Design
Starting with a site assessment, we consider your unique property, as well as your preferences and requirements. We work with you to design a tailored solution for your backyard.
Consent
We understand council requirements and industry regulations, so you don't have to. We'll provide you with all the paperwork required for your consent process, to keep your project running smoothly.
Install
We only work with carefully selected Approved Installers, to protect your peace of mind. We're here to support you throughout the project, from start to end.

Testimonials
From day one, the service received from yourself, Leah Gigger and Josh Bisschops has been fabulous (professional, helpful and friendly). Thank you so very much.
We look forward to working with your company again and, not doubt, will hear from your Team again, when the due date of the service/site assessment gets closer.
Many thanks. Robert and Diane Hastie

It has been ages since I have dealt with a Company with efficiency plus. From my first call to Kerry the issue I had was handle with complete professionalism and the job done in real time without us suffering any continuous issues.
The system was never explained to us by the installers and it was pretty much guess work for us, but we have had a good run through and understand the workings now.
Cheers to Waterflow keep up the good work i highly recommend you. Barry and Sharryn Grouby Lake Tarawera
Barry Grouby
Very happy with the Biolytix system that we installed around 17 years ago, and it is still working as good as it was the day installed. The amount of people that stay in the house is quite considerable, and it still functions incredibly well. The treated wastewater comes out completely clear, and with very little odor.
I would certainly recommend the system. Whitianga Plumbing was our servicing Agent, VERY GOOD!!
