Filters that run underneath a sink
Shower filters.

Why Install a Whole House Water Filtration System?

Basic whole-house filters provide substantial benefits by removing sediments and chlorine, which can help alleviate skin irritations and allergies. Choosing finer filter cartridges enhances protection, with lower micron numbers indicating the ability to remove smaller particles and a broader range of contaminants.

Whole-house water filters deliver purified water to every outlet in the home, reducing taste and odour issues, chemicals, and sediment. Unfiltered water often contains sediments that can build up in pipes and harm appliances. A whole-house water filter safeguards your plumbing and appliances, lowering repair costs and extending their lifespan.

These filters protect tap washers, hot water systems, and other appliances by minimising sediment accumulation, thereby extending their life and improving efficiency. Using a whole-house filter leads to significant cost savings by prolonging the lifespan of tap washers and hot water systems, enhancing their energy efficiency, and providing chlorine-free water.

Essential and popular whole-house filters effectively remove sediments and chlorine, with additional costs incurred for more advanced features and complexities. Pairing a whole-house filter with a dedicated under-the-sink filter designed to remove microparticles, heavy metals, and microorganisms ensures the safety and cleanliness of drinking water.

The Different Types of Water Filtration Systems

  • Water filters in Australia are available in different configurations, specifications, and types, each designed to suit different filtration needs:
  • Activated Carbon Filters: Removes organic compounds, chlorine, and chemicals, improving taste and odour.
  • Reverse Osmosis Filters: Employ a semipermeable membrane to eliminate dissolved salts, fluoride, and other impurities.
  • Ion Exchange Units: Softens water by replacing undesirable ions like magnesium and calcium with sodium or potassium.
  • Mechanical Filters: Uses screens or other physical barriers to block sediment and large particles.
  • UV Filters: Utilises ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses without adding chemicals.
  • Infrared Filters: Soften hard water using heat and light, altering the water’s structure.

Each type offers unique advantages and features catering to different water–quality issues and the available infrastructure at your home.

Professional Installation and Maintenance

Steps to Install a Whole-house Water Filtration System

    • Assess the specific contaminants in your water supply that you want to filter out. Carry out a water test if required to finalise the appropriate filtration system.
    • Shut off the main water supply to your house and drain the remaining water from the system by opening a faucet or a drain valve.
    • Identify the main water line and use a pipe cutter to remove a section of the pipe where the filtration system is to be installed.
    • Install the shut-off valves on both sides of the cut pipe to ensure easy filtration system maintenance. Using Teflon tape on the threads will ensure a tight seal.
    • Mount the filtration system by securing it to the wall or floor according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
    • Attach the inlet pipe from the main water line to the inlet port of the filtration system. Connect the outlet pipe from the filtration system to the rest of the house’s water supply line.
    • Check for leaks by slowly turning on the main water supply and check all connections. Tighten any fittings as required.
    • Once the system is flushed, test the water quality to ensure the filtration system works correctly. Check whether the water is clear and tastier than before.
