Whole-house water filtration explained
A whole-home system is installed at the main water supply, before it splits to your taps, showers and appliances. It targets chlorine, chloramine, sediment and other common impurities, so the water in every room is filtered.
Our high-flow twin Big Blue system is designed to keep strong flow with minimal pressure drop. The exact location depends on your home's existing plumbing, which we assess during your free in-home consultation.
Whole-house systems typically take 3–4 hours to install, and we customise the configuration to your household's water profile and needs.

Whole Home Filtration: common questions
What does a whole home filtration system filter out?
QLD Water Filtration systems are designed to reduce chlorine, chloramine, sediment and other common impurities found in Australian water supplies. Optional configurations can address additional concerns such as heavy metals or mineral hardness.
Will a whole home system affect my water pressure?
When installed correctly, water pressure remains within normal operating levels. The system is designed to maintain strong flow with minimal pressure drop.
Is filtered water delivered to every tap?
Yes. Whole home systems are installed at the mains entry point, meaning filtered water flows to all taps, showers and appliances.
Can the system be customised?
Yes. We always customise our systems to suit your household's water profile and your family's needs.
How long does a whole home system last?
The housing and structure are built for long-term use. With over eight years of proven performance in Australian homes, our systems are engineered for long-term durability. Ongoing performance depends on regular filter replacement and maintenance in line with QLD Water Filtration's recommendations.
Where is the system installed?
Whole home systems are installed at the main water supply before it splits to taps, showers and appliances. The location is dependent on your home's existing plumbing setup, which is assessed during our free in-home consultation.
