Whole House Water Filtration Perth: Choosing The Right System For Your Home

More Perth homeowners are looking at whole house water filtration systems to improve the quality of water throughout their home.

Unlike a small under-sink filter that only filters water from one tap, a whole house filtration system is installed on your main water supply, allowing filtered water to flow throughout your home.

This means filtered water can be supplied to:

✔ Kitchen taps
✔ Bathroom taps
✔ Showers
✔ Laundry
✔ Appliances

At Intec Plumbing & Gas, we install whole house water filtration systems across Perth, helping homeowners choose a system that suits their needs.

What Do You Actually Want From Your Water Filter?

One of the most important things to consider before installing a whole house water filter is:

What are you wanting the system to achieve?

Not all filtration systems are designed for the same purpose.

Some systems are focused more on improving taste and water quality, while others are designed to help with hard water and limescale reduction.

Choosing the right system depends on your location, your water quality and what you want to improve.

Improving Taste and Water Quality

If your main goal is better tasting water throughout your home, a filtration system with quality carbon filtration may be the right choice.

These systems can help reduce:

✔ Chlorine taste and odours
✔ Unwanted smells
✔ Sediment and particles
✔ General impurities

Many homeowners choose this type of system because they want cleaner, fresher tasting water from every tap.

Reducing Limescale and Hard Water Issues

Some areas around Perth experience harder water, meaning there are higher levels of minerals in the water supply.

Areas further north, including parts of Joondalup and surrounding suburbs, can experience more issues with mineral build-up.

For these homes, a system designed with limescale reduction cartridges or specialised filtration media may be a better option.

This can help reduce:

✔ White marks on shower screens
✔ Scale build-up around taps
✔ Mineral deposits
✔ Build-up inside appliances

A system designed for improving taste may not always be the best option for managing limescale, which is why choosing the correct filtration system is important.

Our Whole House Water Filter Installation Process

Every home is different, so we first look at your existing plumbing setup and what you are trying to achieve.

Our installation process includes:

1. Assessing Your Home

We inspect your main water supply, available installation location and discuss what you want from your filtration system.

2. Installing The Filtration System

The filtration system is installed onto your home's incoming water supply, allowing filtered water to be delivered throughout the property.

3. Testing The System

Once installed, we check all connections, test the system and make sure everything is operating correctly.

We check the pressure on all 3 water filter cartridges.

 

We have a few different ways of checking the water, quality before and after work is completed to make sure its in a safe range.

 

Checking the water pressure before and after work is completed to make sure its adequate.

 

Why Install A Whole House Water Filter?

A properly selected filtration system can provide benefits such as:

✔ Better tasting water
✔ Cleaner water throughout your home
✔ Reduced sediment entering your plumbing
✔ Help managing limescale issues
✔ Protection for fixtures and appliances

This system we did is fastened on a steal frame next to the water meter. 
This installation we fastened it on the wall of the house, sometimes its a better suited position if where water meter is situated is to congested. 

 

Choosing The Right System For Your Perth Home

There is no single filtration system that is perfect for every property.

The best option depends on:

  • Where you live

  • Your home's water supply

  • Whether you want better taste or limescale reduction

  • Your household water usage

At Intec Plumbing & Gas, we can help recommend a filtration solution based on what you actually need from your water.
