WHOLE OF HOME FILTRATION
Whole of home filtration is a comprehensive water treatment system designed to improve the quality of water throughout the entire household. Unlike point-of-use filtration systems, which only treat water at specific faucets or appliances, whole of home filtration systems are installed at the main water line, ensuring every tap, shower and appliance receives filtered water. These systems typically consist of multiple stages of filtration, each targeting different types of impurities.
In many suburban areas, aging and corroded pipes can lead to the introduction of debris and unwanted materials into the water supply. Additionally, a considerable of water undergoes recycling, which involves the use of harsh chemicals. Unfortunately, microbial contaminants, chemicals and heavy metals can pose health risks, damage skin and hair, and adversely affect the taste and smell of the water. Furthermore, eliminating sediment and other particles can extend the lifespan of plumbing infrastructure and appliances.
Sediment Filter
The first line of defence in removing particles from the water, such as sand, silt, rust, loose scale, clay and organic matter.
Carbon Filter
The carbon filter plays a vital role in the filtration process by removing a wide range of chemical contaminants, unpleasant odours, and tastes from the water supply.
Anti-Scale/Scale Prevention Filter
Similar to water softeners, anti-scale filters utilise a process called, Template-Assisted Crystallisation (TAC). Instead of removing hard water, it employs engineered media with nucleation sites to foster the formation of small calcium carbonate crystals. These crystals remain suspended in the water, reducing their propensity to stick to surfaces and therefore minimising scale build up. No salt or electricity needed.
Water Softener
Water softeners focus on removing hardness minerals, specifically calcium and magnesium ions. These ions contribute to water hardness, causing problems like scale accumulation in pipes and appliances, soap scum formation, and decreased effectiveness of detergents. Water softening uses a large canister containing salt and resin. Access to power is required.

Installation Costs
Please note that installation costs may be subject to change upon site inspection.
Pricing Variations
The cost our whole-of-home systems vary due to the following aspects:
System Size: Larger systems will generally have a higher price.
Filter Types: Filter types can significantly impact the cost. For example, anti-scale filters are more expensive than sediment and carbon filters.
Brand/Manufacturer: Premium brands or manufacturers may offer higher-quality materials and extended warranties, which can also affect pricing.
Additional Products: Adding a cover increases the cost. While optional in some cases, a cover helps extend the system’s lifespan by protecting it from environmental elements. Please note, some systems are not available without a cover.
