Technology & R&D

Six focused technologies. Two Australian university collaborations. Explore the materials, cartridge design and research behind WAA’s approach to water treatment.

Different water challenges. A considered combination.

Rust, chloramine, mineral scale and dissolved contaminants need different treatment mechanisms. WAA brings them together through six named technology approaches, selected to suit the product and the water it is designed to treat.

Research that informs the system in your home

With Curtin University, WAA has investigated cartridge performance using whole-home and under-sink systems. With UNSW Sydney, we have explored filtration materials for specific water-treatment challenges. Together, these projects inform material selection, cartridge development and the next questions we test.

Choose technology by what your water needs

Each treatment has a job. Your selected system determines which technologies are included.

Particles, taste & disinfectants

SedriCore™ captures sediment. CarbonWeave™ supports carbon treatment, with CataCarbix™ for chloramine-focused applications.

Mineral scale

ScaleMorph™ manages mineral deposits through phosphate-free scale control, while leaving most hardness minerals in the water.

Specific dissolved concerns

RedoxFusion™ focuses on selected metals and arsenic; PerqivaShift™ focuses on named PFAS compounds.

Australian research. Ongoing development.
