Beyond that, it turns out there is no single definition of clean water. What counts as clean depends very much on the usage.<\/div>\n<p>As an example, the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines detail everything from acceptable amounts of various chemicals to the \u2018aesthetics\u2019 of water for human consumption. Across the ditch, New Zealand has its own drinking water standards.<\/p>\n<p>In other sectors there are different rules and regulations.<\/p>\n<p>In the medical field, water is an essential part of the process of sterilising equipment for re-use. Considerations in that instance include ensuring water quality reduces corrosion and scale; reduces endotoxins; decreases staining of instruments; and of course reduces risk of micro-organism growth.<\/p>\n<p>Look to the agriculture sector and the requirements change again, including pathogen elimination and improved uptake of dosed minerals by livestock.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-yellow-box\">\n<h3><strong>The right kind of clean<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At Davey we have an entire team focussed on water innovation, and one of our first projects led us to set up <a href=\"https:\/\/acquabydavey.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Acqua by Davey<\/strong><\/a>. Acqua by Davey is a specialised business unit dedicated entirely to helping customers get the exact water quality they need, whether they\u2019re trying to meet production goals or legal requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s all about coming up with the right package of products for commercial customers to be able to meet their water treatment needs and the issues specific to their operation. Our experts design and install the solution they come up with, using Davey\u2019s range of products including Microlene filtration.<\/p>\n<p>One of our recent projects was to develop a system for a dietary supplement manufacturer in New Zealand. This customer has to meet very strict regulatory requirements. Their goal was to ensure their water met water standards outlined in the British Pharmacopeia, which publishes quality standards for UK medicinal substances.<\/p>\n<p>Our solution included a compact turnkey water treatment system on a stainless-steel skid. We used technologies and equipment such as activated carbon filtration, ion exchange, reverse osmosis and UV disinfection while monitoring the produced water quality online.<\/p>\n<div class=\"equal-columns-container\">\n<div class=\"equal-columns\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/daveywater.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/acqua-medical-1024x777.jpg\" alt=\"Acqua by Davey for Medical Industry\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"equal-columns column-text\">\n<h4>Find out more about <a href=\"https:\/\/acquabydavey.com\/\"><strong>Acqua by Davey<\/strong><\/a> to see if our specialised water treatment solutions could support your business.<\/h4>\n<p>If you want to know more about Davey\u2019s water innovation, be sure to come back to our website for more stories about our new partnerships, products and ideas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The answer is: maybe, partly because you can\u2019t always see, <a href=\"https:\/\/daveywater.com\/au\/news-community\/what-is-clean-water-anyway\/\"> [&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1528,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-community"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.7 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What is clean water anyway? - Davey - Australia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Defining clean water is not always straightforward.
