What's in your water?

Drinking water contains naturally occurring minerals such as calcium, sodium and magnesium. The levels of these minerals can vary causing very slight differences in taste, odour and colour. The amount of calcium and magnesium in water also determines the softness or hardness of it.

Keeping fish

Tap water needs to be treated to maintain healthy fish, turtles, frogs and other animals that live in ponds and aquariums. This includes removing chlorine and chloramine and adjusting the levels of pH and minerals to suit the specific needs of your pets.

Your local pet store can provide advice about choosing suitable filters or chemicals, such as water conditioners, as needed.
