Bore water desalination, bore pumps & water treatment across Victoria

Bore Water Desalination Units (Reverse Osmosis)

Salty or brackish bore water is one of the most common reasons Victorian property owners contact Aquarius. Our reverse osmosis desalination units turn salty bore water into usable water for homes, gardens, farms and commercial operations. Designed and built in Australia by Aquarius Drilling & Water Treatment, each system is sized to suit your bore water quality, available flow and daily water requirements.

Our range includes compact self-mounted units producing up to 15,000 litres a day, skid-mounted systems producing up to 50,000 litres a day, and larger commercial units producing up to 200,000 litres a day. We provide solutions for residential properties, irrigation, horticulture, dairies and commercial sites. Every unit is installed and commissioned on site, with operator training, a maintenance log and a service schedule, backed by a 2-year warranty.

We service properties and business across Melbourne and regional Victoria, including the Mornington Peninsula, Western Port, Bass Coast, Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, Werribee, Melton, Sunbury, the Yarra Valley, the Dandenong Ranges, Gippsland and the surrounding rural districts.
