Alpine Water & Bling
I haven't posted for a few weeks while filtering was on hold to attend the National Dragon Boating Champs in the Sth Island. And I can confirm the 3 Bay Teams did us proud bringing home Gold medals and trophys galore.
While there, I was fortunate to walk the Routeburn Track in great weather and stunning vistas. My trusty water bottle could be filled from numerous alpine streams along the way... One of the few places left in NZ where the water isn't contaminated and treated. Simply gorgeous. All back to work now.
If you want to get the Best from your water by taking the Worst out of it, then call me. I've many options to suit your needs and budget.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
