Aqua Nu Filtration Systems began life like most great innovations as the unrelenting challenge inside the mind of its original inventor.

In 2006 Patrick Farrelly was convinced of the potential to create an environmentally friendly and highly affordable water filtration system that does not deplete scarce world resources or create chemical or landfill waste. Pat had a vision of a low cost water filter that successfully removes harmful water-based microbes while enabling water to flow through a permeable structure at normal rates.

After considerable time and effort researching and evaluating the functionality and potential of GAC (Granulated Activated Carbon) and its varied different filtration capabilities, Pat realised the solution was elsewhere. His work then led him to consult with pioneers in health and sustainability such as Dr. Robert Verkerk.

Ultra high Flow Rate Ceramics soon became the focus of attention. Over three years of laboratory work undertaken in the sourcing, design, production and testing of ceramic membranes led to Aqua-Nu’s unique discovery in safe and clean water filtration with worldwide potential and diverse applications.
