Watersmart

Roger and Rob are in Hamilton this week at the 2026 New Zealand Plumbing Conference at Claudelands Event Centre.

If you are attending, come find them at our stand. From Aquacomb installation to rainwater harvesting, water treatment and beyond, we would love to chat about how watersmart and the plumbing trade work together.

Come say hello! 💧

Two work anniversaries worth celebrating. 🙌

Recently, Klaudia marked one year at Watersmart. In that time she has grown Porous Lane in the New Zealand market, built some incredible industry relationships, and made her mark in a big way.

And Julia celebrates four years as a key member of our Design Team. Four years of keeping projects on track, solving problems, and doing it all with expertise and care.

Thank you both. We are lucky to have you. 💧

Most stormwater systems need space to work. This one had almost none.

A recent Lower Hutt residential build presented one of the most constrained stormwater installations we have taken on. The architectural design by Parsonson Architects Ltd left limited space beneath the home and deck structure, with structural piles, tight invert levels, and existing pipework all competing for the same space.

The solution was a customised 5,250L Aquacomb detention system, made up of 15 x 300mm pods configured specifically around the site constraints. The modular nature of Aquacomb is exactly what made it possible. No two pods need to sit in a perfect grid, which means the system can work around what is already there.

Watersmart's design and commercial teams worked closely with Jason Brown Plumbing throughout, including multiple design revisions and site visits during construction. The result was a compliant, discreet stormwater detention system built to Wellington Water requirements, tucked completely out of sight beneath the home.
