Applications
Different water sources and uses require different treatment approaches. We supply chemicals across residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial applications in Gauteng, Free State and Limpopo – and can advise on the right product for each situation.
Lifestyle estates and homeowners associations managing shared borehole or municipal water systems require reliable, consistent chemical supply and the confidence that their water quality is properly maintained. F and B Water Treatment & Chemical Supplies has direct experience supplying lifestyle estates – including water quality testing and reporting, soda ash and HTH dosing for pH correction, and on-site system assessments. We understand the operational and budget pressures estates face and provide straightforward advice and competitive pricing.
Borehole water quality varies significantly depending on geology, depth, and proximity to contamination. Common problems include bacterial contamination, high iron or manganese content, hardness, pH imbalance, and turbidity. We advise on appropriate disinfection (calcium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite), pH correction (soda ash, hydrated lime, caustic soda), and clarification (aluminium sulphate) products – and can arrange a water test if you want confirmation of what is in your water.
Agricultural water is used for irrigation, livestock, crop washing, and food preparation – each with different quality requirements. We supply clarification chemicals for reservoir, dam and borehole water, disinfection products for potable supply, pH adjustment chemicals for irrigation systems, and agricultural inputs including fertiliser-grade products and soil conditioning chemicals.
Hospitality businesses require safe, reliable water for guests. We supply calcium hypochlorite and sodium hypochlorite for disinfection, pH correction products for water systems, and biological and chemical products for septic and grey water infrastructure. Water testing and system assessments are available where concerns arise.
Water used in food preparation must meet strict quality and safety standards. We supply food-grade calcium hypochlorite (HTH brand, approved for food industry use), food-grade phosphoric acid, citric acid, and pH adjustment products, and can assist with referrals for compliance-focused water testing through SANAS-accredited laboratories.
Industrial operations generate process water, cooling water, and wastewater requiring treatment before reuse or discharge. We supply coagulants, flocculants, poly aluminium chloride, pH adjustment chemicals, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium hypochlorite for effluent management, along with a broad range of industrial solvents and process chemicals.
Small municipalities, water user associations, and community water schemes require consistent supply of clarification and disinfection chemicals. We supply aluminium sulphate, poly aluminium chloride, calcium hypochlorite, and hydrated lime – with delivery to Gauteng and Limpopo.
Multi-unit residential and commercial developments require ongoing water quality management for shared systems, grey water treatment, and sanitation infrastructure. We supply appropriate products and can advise on treatment programmes.
Residential and commercial septic systems benefit from regular biological and chemical treatment to maintain function, control odour, and prevent overflow. We supply sodium hypochlorite, caustic soda, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium percarbonate for septic, grease trap, and portable toilet applications.
