Our Guide to Water Filtration: How to Improve Water Quality for Your Bunbury Home

Water filtration is essential to maintaining a healthy and efficient home, yet many homeowners aren’t fully aware of its numerous benefits. Whether your main concern is the taste and quality of your water or the long-term effects on your appliances and pipes, a whole home water filtration system can be a game-changer across the board. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about water filtration and help you determine if it’s the right investment for your household.

Understanding whole home water filtration systems

A whole home water filtration system purifies water from the main supply, ensuring every tap in your house delivers cleaner, safer water. Unlike under-sink filters that only treat water in the kitchen, whole home systems provide filtered water for every aspect of daily living—from cooking or making a hot cup of tea, to bathing, washing clothes and more. Systems such as the FilterWall™ F Series effectively remove these impurities and improve overall water quality throughout your home.

How does a whole home water filtration system work?

Installed at the main water line, a whole house system filters all incoming water and removes contaminants such as chlorine, sediment, and PFAS chemicals. This ensures healthier water for your family, no matter which tap they are using. 

Key benefits of a whole home water filtration system

1. Healthier skin and hair

Chlorine in unfiltered water can dry out your skin and hair, causing irritation and exacerbating conditions like eczema and psoriasis. By filtering out chlorine and other chemicals, a whole home filtration system helps maintain skin hydration and keeps your hair looking vibrant and healthy.

2. Prolong the lifespan of appliances and pipes

Unfiltered water carries sediment and minerals that can accumulate in your pipes and appliances over time. This build-up can lead to blockages, reduced efficiency, and increased wear. A filtration system reduces this risk by filtering out these contaminants before they cause damage.

3. Cleaner, better-tasting water

Not only does filtered water taste better, but it’s also safer to consume. Water filtration removes unpleasant tastes caused by chlorine and other chemicals, making it more appealing for drinking and cooking. Plus, filtered water helps prevent mineral build-up on glassware, leaving dishes spot-free after washing.

4. Long-term savings

Investing in a home water filtration system can save you money in the long term. You’ll reduce the need for bottled drinking water, prolong the life of your appliances, and spend less on replacing clothing damaged by chemicals during washing.

How to choose the right filtration system

When selecting a water filtration system, consider factors including the size of your household, water usage, and the specific contaminants in your local water supply. Systems like the FilterWall™ F Series come in various models tailored to different home sizes and water needs. For example, the FilterWall F4 is ideal for medium-sized homes, while the FilterWall F6 is better suited for larger homes with heavy water usage.
