Planning complete home filtration starts with the water entering the property and the outlets that need treatment. In Australia, mains supply and rainwater tanks can present different treatment needs. A water filter system should be selected to suit those needs, with performance checked in the product documentation. Listed options include the FilterWall-F6-CB Filter by Puretec.

Water Filtration Systems

Specifying Water Filtration Systems during the plumbing design helps establish a practical installation location. An in line water filtration system connects into the supply pipework; its position should leave access for servicing and cartridge changes. Allow for isolation valves so maintenance does not require unnecessary disruption. The Hybrid E Series by Puretec is also listed; check its installation requirements against the available space before joinery or surrounding finishes are finalised.

How does a whole house water filter differ from an under sink water filtration system?

Whole-house equipment treats water before it reaches multiple outlets, while an under-sink unit usually serves a dedicated drinking-water tap. Choose the arrangement according to which outlets need treatment, rather than assuming every tap needs the same filtration.

What should I check if the house uses tank water?

Have the water tested before specifying treatment, particularly if it will be used for drinking. Sediment filtration alone does not establish that water is microbiologically safe.

Does a water purifier remove every contaminant?

Removal depends on the treatment technology and the product’s tested performance. Look for evidence covering the specific contaminant identified in your water, rather than relying on the product name.
