Browse systems online.
We handle delivery, installation, and maintenance throughout the Bahamas.
Finding reliable water treatment in the Family Islands has always been harder than it should be. Equipment is difficult to source, contractors are hard to reach, and when something breaks, getting it fixed can take weeks to arrive.
Carver Water Bahamas Ltd. changes that. Our online store carries residential and commercial water systems you can browse and purchase today. Once your order is confirmed, our team coordinates freight, customs, and installation. Most residential systems are installed within four weeks of purchase. Already have a system? We offer inspections, tune-ups, and repairs as well.
Whole House Water Systems
Many homeowners assume a water system is just a filter under the sink. A properly engineered home water system is a complete setup designed around your water source, your home size, and your household's daily demand. Here is what a full system typically includes an arrangement of some or all of these components:
Sediment pre-filter: Removes dirt, sand, and particles before water reaches any sensitive components.
Carbon pre-filter: Removes chlorine, organic compounds, and odors that affect taste and damage membranes.
Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Systems Removes contaminants, bacteria, and impurities from your drinking water. Produces water cleaner than most bottled water at a fraction of the ongoing cost. Multiple sizes available for homes and small businesses.
Water Softeners Protects your pipes, appliances, and fixtures from hard water damage. Extends equipment life and improves water quality throughout your home.
UV Disinfection Systems Kills bacteria and viruses without chemicals. An essential layer of protection for homes drawing from a well, cistern, or local supply line.
Pressure storage tank: Holds treated water under pressure so it is available on demand without running the system continuously.
Delivery pump: Ensures consistent water pressure throughout your home, particularly important on properties where elevation or distance affects flow.
Piping, fittings, and valves: All interconnecting components, installed and pressure-tested by our team.
Control panel or basic switching: Simple on and off operation. No technical training required to run your system day to day.
Everything above ships as a coordinated package. We do not send a box of parts. Our team arrives with a complete, pre-configured system and installs it in a single visit for standard residential applications.
Rainwater Collection & Treatment
The majority of Family Island homes collect and store rainwater in above-ground or underground cisterns. Cistern water is not inherently unsafe, but without proper treatment it carries real risks including bacterial contamination, sediment buildup, algae growth, and chemical runoff from rooftops and gutters.
Carver Water Bahamas designs and installs treatment systems specifically for cistern-fed homes. A properly treated cistern system delivers water that is safe to drink, cook with, and bathe in throughout your entire home.
A cistern treatment system typically includes:
Intake sediment filtration to remove debris entering the cistern from collection surfaces.
Carbon filtration to remove organic compounds, odors, and any residual roof coating or gutter material.
Reverse osmosis for drinking and cooking water, producing bottled-water quality at the tap.
UV disinfection as a final barrier against bacteria and viruses before water reaches your fixtures.
Cistern cleaning and inspection as a standalone service if your storage tank has not been maintained recently.
If you are on a Family Island and your home runs on collected rainwater, this is the system that makes that water fully safe and reliable.
How It Works: From Order to Running Water
The most common question we get from Family Island customers is: how does this actually work logistically? Here is the process from start to finish.
Step 1: Assessment. You contact us and we discuss your water source, your home or business size, and what you need. For larger or more complex installations we schedule a site visit. For standard residential systems, a phone or video call is usually enough to specify the right system.
Step 2: Order and procurement. You purchase through our online store or confirm a custom order directly with our team. We source and configure your complete system in Tampa.
Step 3: Freight and customs. We coordinate all shipping from Tampa to Nassau including export documentation and customs clearance on the Bahamian side. You do not deal with freight brokers or customs forms.
Step 4: Onward delivery. From Nassau we coordinate delivery to your island. We work with mail boat schedules, charter flights, and local freight contacts across the Family Islands.
Step 5: Installation. Our team travels to your location and installs the complete system. Standard residential installations are completed in one day. We do not leave until the system is running, tested, and you understand how to operate it.
Step 6: Ongoing support. We provide remote technical support between visits and return for scheduled maintenance as agreed. If something goes wrong we are reachable and we respond.
Automated Water dispensers
Across the Family Islands, community members routinely travel to a central location to fill five-gallon jugs for home use. For businesses and property owners, a commercial automated water dispenser is both a community service and a direct revenue opportunity.
Carver Water Bahamas, Ltd designs, installs, and maintains automated water dispensing systems for shops, gas stations, community centers, resorts, and any business that wants to sell or distribute purified water on site.
A complete dispenser system includes a high-capacity reverse osmosis treatment train, a pressurized storage tank, automated dispensing controls with coin or card payment options, a UV final disinfection stage, a high-flow delivery nozzle sized for five-gallon jug filling, and a simple display showing water quality in real time.
Systems are designed for reliable, low-maintenance operation. Locals fill their jugs. Your machine runs. You collect the revenue.
Our automated dispenser installation at the Rahming Family Store in South Andros increased the store's daily water production tenfold and restored reliable community water access to South Andros.

Proteus Wastewater Treatment: Compact Systems for Space-Constrained Islands
Caribbean resorts and communities face a challenge: growing wastewater treatment needs with limited available land. Traditional treatment plants require acres. Island properties often have only square feet.
Proteus technology solves this through ultra-compact biological filtration that treats wastewater in 80% less space than conventional systems.
Proteus Technology Overview
Developed by Tomorrow Water and deployed by Carver Water Technology, Proteus represents advanced primary and biological treatment combined into single reactors.
How Proteus Works:
High-speed upflow filtration with buoyant media captures suspended solids and organics in just 15 minutes, using only 20% of the space required by conventional clarifiers and aeration basins.
Proteus Plus configuration adds aerated biofilm layers for complete secondary treatment (BOD reduction, nitrification, and denitrification) within the same compact footprint.
Performance Specifications
Solids Removal: Up to 80% TSS removal in primary configuration
Organic Removal: Up to 90% BOD reduction in Proteus Plus configuration
Nutrient Removal: Nitrification and denitrification in single reactor (Proteus NDN configuration)
Footprint Reduction: 80-85% smaller than conventional treatment systems
Treatment Time: 15 minutes primary treatment vs. 4-8 hours conventional
Energy Efficiency: 35-45% oxygen transfer efficiency vs. 15-25% conventional systems—reducing largest operating cost in biological treatment
Caribbean Applications for Proteus
Resort & Hotel Wastewater:
Caribbean resorts generate wastewater flows equivalent to small municipalities, but on properties with limited available land and aesthetic constraints that make traditional treatment plants unacceptable.
Proteus systems fit in mechanical rooms, landscaped areas, or small parcels that would never accommodate conventional plants. Treated effluent can be reused for irrigation, cooling towers, and non-potable applications, reducing freshwater demand.
Community Wastewater Treatment:
Small island communities need treatment plants but lack land for sprawling conventional facilities. Proteus provides municipal-quality treatment in compact installations suitable for space-constrained coastal towns.
Mixed-Use Developments:
New developments on Caribbean islands must provide their own infrastructure. Proteus allows developers to include wastewater treatment without dedicating valuable land that could generate revenue through resort, residential, or commercial use.
Existing Plant Upgrades:
Retrofit existing conventional plants to increase capacity, improve effluent quality, or add nutrient removal, without expanding facility footprint. Perfect for communities facing new regulations or population growth with no room to expand treatment plants.
Wet Weather Flow Management:
Handle peak flows during tropical storms without massive storage tanks or overflow events. Proteus manages high peaking factors and variable flow rates that challenge conventional systems.
Why Proteus Fits Caribbean Conditions
Land is expensive: Island property values make compact treatment economically essential
Hurricane resilience: Low-profile systems with minimal above-ground infrastructure survive storms better than conventional plants with large clarifiers and aeration basins
Energy costs: Caribbean electricity rates (3-5x US mainland) make Proteus' energy efficiency critical for affordable operation
Reuse requirements: Drought-prone islands increasingly require wastewater reuse. Proteus produces high-quality effluent suitable for irrigation and industrial applications
Simple operation: Limited technical staff availability on islands demands systems that operate reliably with minimal operator intervention
Atmospheric Water Generation: Creating Water from Air
When freshwater doesn't exist, you create it. Our Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) systems produce pure drinking water from humidity. No wells, no pipes, no ocean intake required.
Proven Caribbean Deployment: Hurricane Maria Response
Following Hurricane Maria's devastation of Puerto Rico in 2017, our AWG partner, the Moses West Foundation, deployed large-scale atmospheric water generators to Vieques, providing clean drinking water for 15,000 residents when traditional infrastructure lay in ruins. The system operated on solar power, producing thousands of gallons daily even in harsh conditions and variable electrical supply.
The Puerto Rico National Guard recognized this deployment as demonstrating "excellent atmospheric water generation" and "remarkable and enduring devotion to the citizens of the island that lacked this essential resource."
AWG Technology Specifications
AWG-800 Model:
Production: Up to 800 liters (211 gallons) per day
Energy: Low consumption at ~0.18 kWh/liter
Applications: Community centers, medical facilities, light industrial
Transport: Compact units, up to 16 units per 20' ISO container
Power: Grid, generator, or solar capability
AWG-5000 Model:
Production: Up to 8,400 liters (2,200 gallons) per day
Scalability: Multiple units create unlimited capacity facilities
Deployment: Fully containerized in 20-foot ISO containers
Military-grade: Ruggedized for field deployment
Power Options: Grid, diesel generator, natural gas, or renewable sources
Rapid Setup: One-button start, immediate water production
Caribbean AWG Applications
Disaster Relief & Hurricane Recovery: Immediate potable water when infrastructure fails. Proven performance in Puerto Rico's post-Maria conditions demonstrates reliability when communities need it most.
Remote Resorts & Hotels: Water independence for properties where municipal supply is unreliable or non-existent. Eliminates dependence on water trucks and ensures guest experience quality.
Out Island Communities: Sustainable water supply for Family Islands, remote settlements, and coastal communities with limited freshwater resources.
Government Facilities: Critical infrastructure including hospitals, emergency services, and administrative centers requiring reliable backup water supply.
Industrial & Agricultural: Supplemental water for operations in water-scarce regions where wells or municipal sources are limited or contaminated.
Why AWG Works in the Caribbean
High humidity environments maximize AWG production efficiency. Caribbean islands provide ideal conditions for atmospheric water generation, typically 60-85% humidity year-round. Water quality exceeds WHO and EPA standards without requiring treatment of contaminated source water.
Hurricane-resistant systems continue operating when conventional infrastructure fails, providing the resilience island communities require.
Additional Treatment Technologies
