About us
Water nerds (the fun kind)
At Aquano, we’re not your average filtration company. We’re a small but mighty team of self-confessed water geeks with a mission to turn New Zealand’s water from “good enough” to downright brilliant. Based in sunny Cambridge, we design, build, and perfect water filtration systems that give Kiwis the peace of mind they deserve – every time they turn on the tap. It all started with Clive and Danny, you can read a bit more about them and the rest of the team below….
Meet the team
We hate those “About” pages where you barely learn anything about the people behind the company. So, let’s not do that. Hover over the image to get the scoop on Clive and Danny – the two gents behind Aquano.
Meet Clive
Clive’s an Englishman who swapped grey skies for New Zealand’s pristine rivers, trails, and parks. With a twinkle in his eye and a big heart, he’s the ideas guy, always dreaming up ways to keep our environment as fresh and clean as it looks.
Meet Danny
Cambridge-based, industry-savvy, and built like a house, Danny has over a decade of water filtration experience under his belt. He knows the ins and outs of what works, what doesn’t, and how to fix just about anything.
Meet Rhodes
This is Rhodes, Aquano’s go to sales guy, always sealing deals with a smile! Born in the UK but mad about New Zealand - he really can’t get enough of the Kiwi culture, weather and wildlife (as well as water filtration, of course!).
Meet Belinda
A whizz with numbers, Belinda keeps our accounts (and us!) in check. In her spare time, you'll find Belinda off exploring the world, bringing that same precision and passion to her latest travel adventures. She's a true gem, making sure our waka is always sailing smoothly!
Meet Richard
Kia Ora, Richard! A behind the scenes kind of guy, Richard keeps everything at Aquano running as smooth as the Kiwi breeze. He keeps things ticking over with no fuss and no drama - just good vibes with a few spreadsheets thrown in for good measure.
Meet Yukon
A creative at heart, Yukon lights up Aquano’s marketing with fresh ideas and big energy - day in, day out! When she’s not busy making waves in water filtration, you’ll find her behind the camera, making the most of everyday moments.
Meet James
Say hello to James, our graphic design guru! From packaging designs to user manuals that actually make sense, he’s the master of turning big ideas into bold visuals. When he’s off the design clock, you’ll find James fishing, watching rugby or firing up the BBQ!
Meet Lauren
Our marketing all-rounder! When she’s not working on the website or crafting campaigns, she’s probably got a coffee in hand, daydreaming about NZ’s epic landscapes - because a bit of creativity and plenty of fresh air is set to keep the ideas flowing!
About us
Why We Do What We Do
Let’s face it – New Zealand’s water isn’t as pure as the tourism ads would have you believe. Aging infrastructure, contaminants, and impurities means that what comes out of our taps might not be as clean or safe as it should be. That’s where we come in.
At Aquano, we believe every Kiwi deserves better. Our systems aren’t just designed to filter water – they’re built to handle New Zealand’s unique conditions with strength, smarts, and style. Whether you’re on mains water, bore water, or collecting rainwater, we’ve got a solution to make your water cleaner, safer, and simply better.
-
NZ-Made Toughness
From welded frames to weatherproof designs, our systems are built to last in the harshest conditions. Rivets suck. Welds rule. It’s science.
-
Smart Design
Every system is designed with practicality and longevity in mind, like lockable covers, air vents to prevent overheating, and pressure gauges to make maintenance a breeze.

A Human Touch
We listen to our customers and constantly improve. If something’s not working, we fix it. If something can be better, we make it happen.
Water might not be the life of the party, but for us, it’s everything. So if you’re looking for a team who takes water (but not themselves) seriously, you’ve found us. Every customer means the world to us, and we’re here to prove it with every filter, every service, and every handshake.
