Kitchen Water Filtration
In Perth, the quality of tap water can vary, and many residents seek ways to improve the taste, odour, and overall quality of their drinking and cooking water. Kitchen water filtration systems offer a targeted solution to enhance water quality right where it's most frequently used for consumption.
These point-of-use systems are designed to address common water quality concerns in Perth, such as chlorine taste and odour, potential contaminants, and occasional sediment. By focusing on the water used for drinking, cooking, and food preparation, kitchen filters provide an efficient and cost-effective way to ensure high-quality water for your family's daily needs.

Choosing the Right System for Your Home
Selecting the perfect kitchen water filtration system is about understanding your unique household needs and water conditions. We've helped thousands of Perth homeowners find their ideal solution, and we've learned that a personalised approach always yields the best results.
Assessing Your Household Needs
When we visit your home for a consultation, we'll help you assess several key factors that influence which system will serve you best. Every household has different requirements, and we take the time to understand yours completely.
Family size and water consumption habits are crucial in system selection. We'll discuss how much water your household typically uses for drinking and cooking to help determine your filtration needs.
We'll also consider your culinary preferences and how you use water in the kitchen. If you're an avid tea or coffee drinker, or if you cook extensively with water, the quality of your water becomes even more important.
Key factors to consider include:
- Family size: How many people will be using filtered water daily?
- Water consumption habits: Consider how much water is used for drinking and cooking
- Specific health concerns: Do family members have particular sensitivities?
- Long-term plans: Account for potential family growth or changes in water usage
- Culinary preferences: Consider the impact on cooking and beverage preparation
Perth Water Quality Considerations
Water quality in Perth varies significantly depending on your specific location. Over our years of serving the Perth community, we've developed a deep understanding of the local water conditions and how they affect homes in different suburbs.
Many Perth homeowners deal with chlorine taste and odour, which while safe, can affect the taste of drinking water and cooked food. Seasonal variations can also impact water quality, with some areas experiencing different characteristics throughout the year.
We offer professional water testing services to help you understand exactly what's in your water and which filtration solution would best address your specific concerns. This personalised approach ensures you get exactly the water quality improvements you're seeking.
Kitchen Layout and Space Constraints
Your kitchen's physical layout plays an important role in determining the most suitable filtration system:
- Under-sink space: We'll measure available space for filter installation
- Sink configuration: Single or double bowl, number of pre-drilled holes
- Existing fixtures: We'll consider compatibility with current taps and plumbing
- Accessibility: We ensure easy access for filter changes and maintenance
If space is limited, the compact PureMix-Z6 might be ideal. For kitchens with more flexibility or those undergoing renovation, the integrated Z1-T4 Mixer Tap could be the perfect choice.

Based on our experience installing these systems in hundreds of Perth homes, here are our typical recommendations for common scenarios:

The Z1-T4 Mixer Tap provides both improved water quality and a stylish new tap that enhances your kitchen's appearance.

Our Installation Expertise
We handle all potential installation challenges that might arise, including:
1. Limited under-sink space
When space is tight, we can recommend alternative mounting locations or compact filter configurations.
2. Plumbing compatibility
Older homes sometimes have plumbing that's not immediately compatible with modern filtration systems. We come prepared with the necessary adapters and fittings to integrate your new system with your existing plumbing.
3. Countertop material concerns
For the Z1-T4, we take special care when working with expensive countertops, using specialised tools and techniques to prevent any damage.
4. Water pressure considerations
We carefully calculate the impact of filtration on your water pressure and can recommend solutions if pressure loss is a concern.
Professional installation ensures your system performs as designed and prevents potential issues that could arise from improper setup. Our licensed plumbers take pride in doing the job right the first time.
Maintenance and Support
One of the great advantages of our kitchen water filtration systems is how little maintenance they require compared to the benefits they provide. However, some basic care will ensure your system continues to perform at its best for years to come.
Regular Maintenance Tips
With proper maintenance, your filtration system will provide years of trouble-free service. We've designed our maintenance recommendations to be straightforward and manageable for most homeowners.
For Z1-T4 Mixer Tap:
Our Z1-T4 system is engineered for simplicity and reliability. A few simple checks and timely filter replacements will keep your system running optimally.
- Wipe down the tap and spout weekly to prevent mineral buildup
- Check for leaks around tap and under-sink connections monthly
- Replace filter cartridge every 12 months or 30,000 litres
- Perform an annual system sanitisation to prevent bacterial growth
For PureMix-Z6:
The PureMix-Z6 requires minimal attention to maintain its performance:
- Visually inspect for leaks or unusual wetness under the sink monthly
- Replace filter cartridge every 6-12 months or 60,000 litres
- Flush system for 5-10 minutes if use has been infrequent
- Sanitise the system annually
Cartridge Replacement Process
Replacing your filter cartridge is a simple process that most homeowners can manage without professional assistance:
Z1-T4 Mixer Tap:
- Turn off water supply to the system
- Release pressure by opening the filtered water tap
- Twist off the old cartridge (no tools required)
- Insert new cartridge, aligning arrows or markers
- Twist to lock new cartridge in place
- Turn on water supply and run water for 5 minutes to flush system
PureMix-Z6:
- Turn off water supply to the filter
- Press the pressure relief button to depressurize the system
- Remove old cartridge and clean housing if necessary
- Insert new cartridge, ensuring proper orientation
- Reattach housing, tightening securely
- Turn on water supply and check for leaks
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Even the best water filtration systems occasionally experience issues. When problems arise, we're just a phone call away, but here are some common issues and their likely causes:
- Reduced water flow often indicates it's time for a filter change. As filters trap contaminants, they can become clogged, restricting water flow. A simple filter replacement usually resolves the issue immediately.
- Unusual taste or odour in your water may signal that your filters have reached the end of their effective life or that your system needs sanitisation.
- Leaks typically result from loose connections or worn O-rings. Tightening connections or replacing O-rings usually solves the problem.
Whatever issue you encounter, remember that we've seen it all before and can help you resolve it quickly and effectively.
How We Support You Long-Term
We believe that installing your water filtration system is just the beginning of our relationship. Our commitment to your water quality continues long after installation day with:
- Regular maintenance reminders customised to your specific system
- Professional servicing options that take the guesswork out of system care
- Convenient filter replacement programs with the option for automatic deliveries
- Ongoing water quality testing to ensure optimal performance
- System upgrade recommendations as your family's needs change
Regular maintenance not only ensures consistent water quality but also extends the life of your filtration system, maximising your investment. With our support, you can enjoy the benefits of clean, filtered water in your kitchen for many years to come.
Integration with Whole House Systems
For Perth homeowners who already have whole house water filtration, our kitchen-specific filters can provide additional benefits:
- Multi-barrier approach: Your whole house system acts as the first line of defense, while the kitchen filter provides final polishing for drinking water.
- Targeted contaminant removal: While whole house filtration handles general water quality, kitchen filters address specific taste, odour, and health-related contaminants for water you consume.
- Extended filter life: Whole house filtration can extend the life of your kitchen filter cartridges by reducing their workload.
This layered approach ensures the highest water quality for drinking and cooking while maintaining excellent water throughout your home.

Had an emergency block in Kitchen sink a day before Christmas and couldn’t leave the apartment to fly for work. They were the only service I found that came in within a couple of hours and accommodated my request with quality workmanship and friendly service and it was a great relief for me. Recommend these guys. Thank you.
Ali Hamedi
Declan was absolute magic. Fixed my shower drain and gave me some useful plumbing tips for next time.
Leon Saunders
“Declan came and unblocked the drains in my duplex.
He is a hero!!!”
Marja Rentier
Declan saved the day again! Arrived promptly. Professional, charming and super efficient. One unblocked toilet and we are now fully operational again. I have No Probs on speed dial now 🙂
Elisabeth Rajan
I’ve now had No Probs Plumbing in to clear a kitchen drain, replace a hot water service, replace every ageing tap in the house and replace both toilet cisterns. Every single member of the No Probs team that I’ve met so far… perhaps 6 of the plumbing team alone… has been professional, friendly, and genuinely concerned for the outcome of the work to be perfect. I cannot recommend them more highly.
Paul Antoine
Called in No Probs plumbing for a blocked drain after complicated solutions offered by another plumber. Dillon discussed the issue, offered a simpler solution and organised his crew to execute the plan. Problem solved!
Roshan Rao
Just used Dillon’s company again today after a year. Excellent service by young Callum. Always found No Probls to be helpful, prompt and efficient. Fixed our blockage and were in and out in 40 minutes. Keep up the good work guys.
Suzanne Long
We had issues with a blocked drain over the xmas break so was worried we might not get a quick response but we were wrong. They called us pretty much straight back and within roughly 1hr they were at our house. The young man Jack was a really nice polite and professional person. He was happy for a chat and to explain some of the equipment he used. Unfortunately the blockage was on the mains sewer so couldn’t fix it but he rang the Water Corp and asked me to follow up with him if Water Corp didn’t attend within a couple of hours… Will definitely use them again!
Kevin Evans
I recently had the unfortunate experience of dealing with a blocked drain in my home. From the moment I contacted No Probs Plumbing & Gas, the team was professional, courteous, and incredibly responsive.
The scheduling process was seamless, and they were able to send one of their Plumbers Jack to my home within a few hours. When Jack arrived, he was not only punctual but also very knowledgeable. He took the time to assess the situation thoroughly and explained the potential causes of the blockage in a way that was easy to understand.
I was particularly impressed with his attention to detail and commitment to leaving my space clean and tidy after the job was completed.
Thank you Jack!!!
Shanelle Bull

No Probs and their complete home filtration system are brilliant. They really know their product and are realistic with what your family or home needs. Their work is extremely neat and tidy aka they take pride in their work. Since installation we have experienced softer, clearer skin and water that tastes as it should – clean!! Best decision we made was to have the filtration system installed.
Janelle Edmondson
Quick response when contacted online. This was my second time using them and I am very satisfied with their work. I had issues with my sewage drainage. Conor was punctual and professional. He explained the issue with my sewage pipes, quoted the total costs upfront. My experiences have been positive with No Probs Plumbing and will definitely using them for future jobs if required.

Hi, I recently had one of your electricians come out to install a new set of filters for my under the sink reverse osmosis water unit as well as repair a bad leak coming from my solar hot water system up on the roof.
The young man was very friendly and completed the work quicker than I has expected. I wish that I could remember his name as he was first rate. I have now used your company on several occasions and every time the men who have attended to do the work have all been of a high caliber and have done quality work and I couldn’t recommend your company highly enough.
Kind regards
