Whole House Water Filtration
Whole house water filtration treats all water entering your home, ensuring every tap, shower, and appliance receives clean, filtered water. Unlike point-of-use filters that only treat water at specific outlets, our whole house systems provide comprehensive protection for your entire home.
When you choose whole house filtration, you're making an investment in your family's health and comfort, as well as the longevity of your home's plumbing and appliances. We've seen firsthand how whole house filtration transforms the water quality throughout Perth homes. Many of our customers are surprised by the difference they feel when showering in filtered water, or how much better their morning coffee tastes.
How You Benefit from Whole House Filtration
When you install a whole house water filtration system, you'll enjoy a range of immediate and long-term benefits. Clean, filtered water becomes your new standard, giving you peace of mind every time you turn on a tap. Here's what you can expect:
- Clean water from every outlet in your home
- Improved taste and odour of your drinking water
- Protection for your skin and hair during showering and bathing
- Extended lifespan for your appliances and plumbing
- Reduced need for bottled water, saving you money
- Enhanced property value with this attractive home feature
- Environmental benefits through reduced plastic waste
The comprehensive nature of whole house filtration means you won't need to worry about installing and maintaining multiple point-of-use filters throughout your home. One system does it all, providing consistent water quality no matter which tap you use.
How Our Systems Work
Our whole house filtration systems use a multi-stage process to deliver clean water throughout your home. We've designed these systems to be highly efficient while requiring minimal maintenance from you.
The process begins as water enters your home through the main water line. First, it passes through a pre-filtration stage where larger particles like sediment, rust, and debris are captured. This initial step not only improves your water quality immediately but also protects the subsequent filtration stages, extending the life of your entire system.
Next comes the primary filtration, which typically uses activated carbon to improve taste and remove chlorine. This is where you'll notice the biggest difference in your water's taste and smell. The activated carbon works like a magnet for impurities, trapping chemicals that affect water quality.
Depending on your specific water concerns, we might recommend optional treatments that address issues like water hardness or microorganisms. These specialised treatments target the unique water quality challenges we often see in different Perth suburbs.
Finally, a polishing stage ensures exceptional water quality before distribution throughout your home. All this happens automatically as water enters your property, requiring minimal intervention from you while providing maximum protection for your family.
The beauty of our whole house systems is that once installed, they work silently in the background, improving your water quality day after day without you having to think about it.
Choosing the Right System for Your Home
Selecting the perfect 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 plays a crucial role in system selection. A larger family naturally uses more water, requiring a system with higher capacity and flow rate. The number of bathrooms in your home also provides important information about your water demands.
We'll discuss your water usage patterns to understand when peak usage occurs and how much water your household typically consumes. It's also wise to consider your future plans. If you're expecting your family to grow or anticipate increased water usage for any reason, we might recommend a system with extra capacity to accommodate these changes.
Key factors to consider include:
- Family size: How many people use water in your home?
- Number of bathrooms: More bathrooms indicate higher water usage
- Water usage patterns: Consider peak times and overall daily consumption
- Future plans: Account for potential family growth or increased water usage
- Specific concerns: Are you experiencing hard water, chlorine taste, or other issues?
Perth Water Quality Considerations
Water quality in Perth varies significantly depending on your specific location and whether your water comes from groundwater sources or surface water. 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 water hardness issues, particularly in areas with groundwater sources. Hard water contains higher levels of dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can cause scale buildup in pipes and appliances.
Chlorine levels are another important consideration. While chlorine plays an essential role in making our water safe to drink, it can affect the taste and smell of your water. Many of our customers notice that their water tastes and smells better after filtration.
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.
Our Recommendations
Based on our experience installing these systems in hundreds of Perth homes, here are our typical recommendations for common scenarios:
For large family homes with standard water quality
The FilterWall F6 provides the capacity and flow rate you need for a busy household. Its higher filtration capacity means less frequent filter changes, which is convenient for families with busy lifestyles.
For homes with limited space
The compact FilterWall F4 provides whole house filtration without requiring significant space. Its smaller footprint makes it ideal for townhouses or homes with limited utility areas.
For homes with multiple bathrooms and high water usage
Either the FilterWall F6 or the Softrol SOL30-E3 (if hard water is an issue) will meet your higher demands. The key is ensuring sufficient flow rate to maintain pressure when multiple water outlets are in use.
For small to medium-sized homes
The FilterWall F4 offers efficient filtration in a more compact, cost-effective package. You'll get all the benefits of whole house filtration appropriately sized for your household needs.
For homes with hard water issues
The Softrol SOL30-E3 with WH2-55 addresses both hardness and filtration needs comprehensively. This is particularly valuable in areas with groundwater supplies where hardness can be a significant problem.
During our consultation, we'll discuss your specific situation and help you choose the perfect system for your home. Our goal is to match you with the solution that provides the best water quality improvement for your particular needs.
Maintaining Your System
One of the great advantages of our whole house 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 FilterWall F6 and F4 Systems:
Our FilterWall systems are engineered for simplicity and reliability. A few simple checks and timely filter replacements will keep your system running optimally.
We recommend taking a moment each month to visually inspect your system for any signs of leaks. This quick check can prevent water damage and ensure continuous performance.
The most important maintenance task is replacing the filter cartridges when needed. For the F6, this typically means every 12-24 months, while the F4 usually requires replacement every 6-12 months. The exact timing depends on your water usage and local water quality.
We also recommend an annual system sanitisation to prevent any bacterial growth within the system. This is a service we can provide, or we can show you how to do it yourself if you prefer.
For Softrol SOL30-E3 with WH2-55:
The combined softener and filtration system requires slightly more attention, but the results are well worth it.
- Salt management:
- Check salt levels weekly
- Refill salt when tank is 1/3 full
- Use high-quality water softener salt
- Regular cleaning:
- Clean the brine tank monthly to prevent salt bridges
- Wipe down external components to prevent dust buildup
- Filter replacement:
- Replace sediment filter every 6-12 months
- Replace carbon filter every 12-24 months
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:
- Decreased water pressure 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.
- For homes with water softeners, using too much salt can indicate a system that needs adjustment. Modern softeners should use salt efficiently, so excessive consumption might mean your regeneration settings need optimisation.
Whatever issue you encounter, remember that we've seen it all before and can help you resolve it quickly and effectively.
