How to get filtered water for the whole home
Benefits of a home filtration system
- Clean water from every tap
Unlike tap filters that only purify water at a single outlet, a whole-home filtration system ensures that every tap in your house delivers clean, filtered water. This means you can enjoy safe water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and even laundry.
- Protection against contaminants
Home filtration systems remove chlorine, sediment, bacteria, and heavy metals, enhancing taste, smell, and health outcomes.
- Extended lifespan for appliances
Unfiltered water causes limescale in appliances, leading to inefficiency and costly repairs. Filtration protects and prolongs appliance life.
- Eco-friendly and cost-effective
Switching to a home filtration system reduces the need for bottled water, cutting down on plastic waste and saving money.
- Improved skin and hair health
Whole-home filtration systems remove up to 98.5% of chlorine products from your home’s water which can prevent dryness and irritation caused by chlorine and minerals, safeguarding natural oils for healthier skin and hair.
How a home filtration system differs from a tap filter
Unlike a tap filter, which is fitted to a specific water outlet, a whole-home filtration system is installed at the main water entry point, ensuring that all water entering your home is purified.
How the system works
Home filtration ssstems see all water entering the home go through multiple filtration stages. For example, the Complete Home Filtration whole-home system uses a four-stage process:
- The system begins by using a one-micron sediment filter removing larger particles such as dirt, rust, and particulates from the water. This initial step helps protect subsequent filters and improves overall water clarity.
- The water is then softened with a dedicated ion-exchange sodium resin, significantly reducing limescale and hard water damage.
- The water then passes through a highgrade carbon block to absorb and reduce organic compounds, chlorine, and other chemicals that can affect the taste and odour of water.
- The process also includes a KDF 55 mixed media filter specifically for the removal of heavy metals, as these particles can sometimes remain intact after the previous filtration stages.
Is a home filtration system worth it?
Whole-home filtration offers several benefits, from healthier skin and hair to appliance protection.
It’s an investment worth considering for Queensland households seeking quality water throughout their home.
