We’re Waterware
Since 1989, our passion has been delivering quality in all things plumbing, central heating and cooling, and bathroomware.
Waterware is proudly New Zealand owned and operated.
From the outset we’ve been supporting the market with technical and design knowledge, helping deliver solutions that are functional, intuitive and beautiful. We’re working hard to make your life easier. Waterware are innovators setting the pace in New Zealand with hydraulic radiant heating and cooling technology, high-performance plumbing fittings, and on-trend bathroomware.
Our innovation-led approach
Since Graham Yearsley introduced the iconic Caleffi brand onto the New Zealand market way back in 1989, we’ve worked to raise the standards of what’s on offer.
We approach plumbing, central heating and cooling, and bathroomware with a goal of creating environments of success for the people we work with.
Our mission is to provide solutions that look good, serve their purpose well, make life easier for everyone involved (from tradies to end users), and lead NZ on its mission towards a more sustainable future.
We came up with the first COMBO set, a unique tempering valve/pressure-reducing valve/cold water expansion valve that massively simplified water set-ups. We also developed Protank HWCs with top-mounting valve sets that halve install time and give more billable time back to our tradies.
Waterware introduced NZ to iStone, a solid surface technology that has a durability, moldability, thickness, and range of colour finishes that traditional materials can’t achieve.
We became a strategic partner of world-leading heating brand Valiant and Italian wireless water-metering system BMeters., and we’ve got great relationships with Brugman, Grant, RBM, Messana, Fondital, Ferroli, and other luxury brands, so you can be sure of the highest quality available.
We want more comfortable homes and spaces for everyone, which is why we launched Active Ceiling radiant cooling along with our hydraulic central heating onto the NZ market for a level of comfort no forced air system can ever match.
We’re digital-first, so you can source the products you and your clients deserve from anywhere in the country, thanks to our e-commerce platform. Our one-stop project planning, ordering, and merchant-connected suite helps you plan your projects, secure the parts, and have them ready for you when you need them. Pre-ordered, scheduled, and price guaranteed.
