Complete Home Water Purification Solutions for Australian Households
Filpure’s whole house water filtration systems set the Platinum standard for complete home water treatment in Australian households. Unlike basic filters that purify water at just one tap, our whole house filtration ensures every drop entering your property is thoroughly filtered, and this is exactly what its name suggests. It filters all the water that enters your home. That means cleaner, healthier water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and cleaning, with no more reliance on individual filters for each tap.
Why Do You Need a Whole House Water Filtration System?
Australian water supplies face unique challenges. While generally safe by global standards, our municipal water often contains chlorine, sediment, and other contaminants that can affect taste, odour, and potentially your health. Regional areas may contend with additional concerns like elevated mineral content, agricultural runoff, or natural sediments.
A properly installed whole house water filtration system addresses these issues by:
- Removing chlorine and chloramines that can dry skin, damage hair, and create unpleasant odours
- Filtering out sediment that can damage appliances and reduce pipe lifespan
- Eliminating harmful contaminants including PFAS,heavy metals and certain chemicals
- Improving water taste and odour throughout your entire home
- Reducing scale buildup in pipes, fixtures, and appliances
Comprehensive Protection with Multi-Stage Filtration
Filpure’s whole house systems employ multi-stage filtration technology to address different contaminants:
- Pre-filtration stage – Removes larger particles, sediment, and debris
- Activated carbon stage – Eliminates chlorine, chemicals, and odours
- Specialty filtration media – Targets specific contaminants based on your water profile
- Optional UV purification – Destroys bacteria and viruses for complete protection
Benefits of Choosing Filpure Whole House Systems
- Appliance Protection: Extended lifespan for washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters, and other water-using appliances by preventing scale buildup and sediment damage.
- Superior Water Quality: Enjoy better-tasting water for drinking and cooking throughout your entire home, not just at a single tap.
- Healthier Living Environment: Reduce exposure to chlorine and other chemicals during showers and baths, which can be absorbed through the skin and respiratory system.
- Cost Effectiveness: Save money on bottled water, appliance repairs, and plumbing maintenance while extending the life of your home’s water infrastructure.
- Environmental Benefits: Reduce plastic waste from bottled water and decrease the use of harsh cleaning chemicals needed to remove scale and water stains.
- Comprehensive Coverage: Unlike other solutions, whole house filtration ensures every tap in your home delivers clean, filtered water.

What Is a Whole House Water Filter?
A whole house water filter is a point-of-entry filtration system that treats incoming water before it reaches the taps, showers and water-using appliances throughout your property.
Unlike an under-sink or countertop filter that treats water at a single outlet, a whole house system provides a centralised approach to water filtration.
This means filtered water can be available throughout the property for:
- Drinking
- Cooking
- Showering and bathing
- Washing clothes
- Cleaning
- Appliances
- Outdoor water use, depending on the installation
For households or businesses that want more than filtered drinking water at one tap, whole house water filtration provides a more comprehensive solution.
How Does a Whole House Water Filtration System Work?
A whole house water filtration system is connected to the property’s main incoming water line. Water passes through the filtration system before continuing through the plumbing to taps, showers and appliances.
Filpure systems can use different filtration stages depending on the model and contaminants being targeted.
Sediment Filtration
The first stage can capture sediment, dirt, rust and other particles carried through the incoming water supply.
Carbon Filtration
Activated carbon filtration can reduce chlorine, unwanted tastes, odours and certain chemicals.
Specialised Filtration Media
Different filtration media can be selected to target specific water quality concerns, including heavy metals, chloramines and PFAS, depending on the system.
UV Water Purification
Selected Filpure whole house systems incorporate ultraviolet water purification for additional protection against microorganisms such as bacteria and parasites.
The exact filtration process will depend on the Filpure system selected and the water quality issues that need to be addressed.
What Can Whole House Water Filters Reduce?
Filpure whole house water filters are available with different filtration configurations to target different water quality concerns.
Depending on the system and filtration media selected, Filpure whole house filtration can help reduce:
- Chlorine
- Chloramines
- PFAS
- Sediment
- Dirt and rust
- Heavy metals
- Lead
- Unwanted tastes and odours
- Certain chemicals
- Cryptosporidium
- Giardia
- Bacteria and microorganisms with appropriate UV filtration
Not every whole house water filter targets the same substances. Choosing the right filtration media and system configuration is important if you have a particular water quality concern.
Filpure Whole House Water Filtration Systems
Filpure offers a range of whole house water filtration systems for residential, commercial and higher-flow applications.
Whole House High Flow Water Filters
Filpure’s high-flow systems are designed to filter incoming water while accommodating the higher flow requirements of an entire property.
Models are available for different flow requirements, with selected Filpure systems capable of handling water flow rates of up to 50 litres per minute.
High-flow filtration can be particularly important in larger households or properties where multiple taps, showers or appliances may be operating at the same time.
Platinum Whole House Water Filtration
The Filpure Platinum BWH-3 is a triple-stage whole house water filtration system manufactured specifically for Australian household water supplies.
The multi-stage configuration provides a comprehensive filtration option for customers looking to address multiple water quality concerns throughout their property.
Filpure also offers filtration configurations specifically designed for PFAS reduction.
Whole House Water Filters with UV
For properties requiring additional water purification, Filpure offers whole house systems incorporating ultraviolet sterilisation.
The Filpure TRBB-UV20 combines high-flow whole house filtration with UV technology designed to target harmful microorganisms, including E. coli, Cryptosporidium, Campylobacter and Giardia.
UV purification provides an additional treatment stage without adding disinfecting chemicals to the water.
Whole Building Filtration Systems
Filpure also provides whole building water filtration systems for applications requiring filtration beyond a standard household setup.
These systems can be considered for larger properties, commercial facilities and other applications with greater water demand.
Benefits of a Whole House Water Filter
Installing a whole house water filter system means filtration isn’t limited to your kitchen drinking water.
Filtered Water Throughout the Property
Because the system treats water at the point of entry, filtered water can be supplied to multiple taps and showers rather than one dedicated outlet.
Reduced Chlorine, Taste and Odour
Suitable filtration can reduce chlorine and other substances responsible for unwanted tastes and odours in the incoming water.
Reduced Sediment and Rust
Sediment filtration can capture dirt, rust and larger particles before they continue through your property’s plumbing.
Filtration for Showers and Baths
Whole house filtration treats water used for bathing and showering as well as drinking and cooking.
Protection for Plumbing and Appliances
Reducing sediment and other targeted substances before water travels through the property can help minimise their exposure to water-using appliances, fixtures and plumbing.
High-Flow Filtration
Filpure offers systems designed specifically for high-flow applications, helping provide whole-property filtration while accommodating everyday household or commercial water demand.
Whole House Water Filters vs Under-Sink Water Filters
The main difference is where the water is filtered.
An under-sink water filter treats water at a particular outlet, typically providing filtered water for drinking and cooking.
A whole house water filter is installed on the main water line and treats incoming water before it travels throughout the property.
If your main priority is filtered drinking water, an under-sink or reverse osmosis system may be sufficient.
If you want filtration for multiple taps, showers and appliances, whole house filtration may be the better solution.
Some households may also choose to combine whole house filtration with a dedicated under-sink or reverse osmosis system for additional drinking water filtration.
Whole House Water Filters vs Reverse Osmosis
Whole house filtration and reverse osmosis are designed for different purposes.
A whole house system prioritises high-flow filtration across the property. It needs to process enough water to supply showers, taps and appliances without unnecessarily restricting normal water usage.
Reverse osmosis uses membrane filtration and is generally installed beneath the sink to provide more advanced filtration specifically for drinking and cooking water.
For customers wanting both, the two systems can serve complementary purposes: whole house filtration for the wider water supply and reverse osmosis for drinking water.
Will a Whole House Water Filter Affect Water Pressure?
A correctly selected whole house water filtration system should be sized according to the property’s water demand and required flow rate.
This is particularly important because several outlets may be used simultaneously.
Filpure offers high-flow systems designed specifically for whole-house applications. Selected models can accommodate flow rates of up to 40 or 50 litres per minute, depending on the system.
Factors such as household size, number of bathrooms, incoming water pressure and peak water demand should therefore be considered when selecting a system.
Maintaining Your Whole House Water Filter
Whole house filtration systems require periodic maintenance to continue performing effectively.
The main maintenance requirement is generally replacing the whole house filter cartridges as required.
Replacement frequency depends on:
- Water usage
- Incoming water quality
- Type of cartridge
- Amount of sediment or contaminants
- Filtration system
- Manufacturer recommendations
Filpure supplies replacement whole house cartridges, including sediment, carbon block and other specialised filtration options, making it easier to maintain your system over the long term.
