FilterWall covers come in colours to match your house.
Colourists often warn that chlorine can dry hair out and fade colour. With the filter at your water main, every wash in every bathroom is filtered, not just one shower head.
Every bath and shower in the house runs through the filter, with up to 98% less chlorine in the water your kids sit in every night.
No shower heads to swap, no jugs to fill. One system at the meter, and we come back to change the cartridges every 6 to 12 months.
A filter reduces chlorine, sediment, taste and smell. It isn't a treatment for skin or scalp conditions. If your child has eczema or ongoing itchy skin, please see your GP.
Less chlorine in every shower, not just the one with a filter head. Hairdressers often blame chlorine for dry hair and faded colour, so it's a favourite with anyone who colours their hair.
No chlorine taste in drinks, coffee, tea or ice. Plus a bonus under-sink filter at the kitchen sink for drinking and cooking.
Fill up straight from the tap. No more buying cartons of bottled water or changing jug filters every few weeks.
Sediment, rust and sand are caught at the meter, before they reach your tapware, shower heads, hot water unit, washing machine and coffee machine.
Because it's fitted at the main, your hose taps and irrigation run filtered water too.
No power, no chemicals, no moving parts. We remind you when cartridges are due and come back to change them.
Showers, laundry and kitchen all filtered. Go for a 55 L/min system: the Essential or the FilterWall.
If you notice the chlorine smell in the shower, you'll notice the difference.
The easiest time to fit one. We can plan it into your plumbing works.
One bathroom? The FilterWall Compact is plenty. Owners corporation approval may be needed.
Renting? You'll need the owner's OK first. Not on mains water (tank or bore)? Call us, as you'll need a different system.
Every 6 to 12 months, depending on your water use. Replacement kits typically retail around $450 to $560, and the Z2 kitchen cartridge is around $135. Your first changeover is labour free if you're installed by 31 December.
It reduces chlorine, taste, odour and sediment. Melbourne's water is already soft. If fluoride is your main concern, add our reverse osmosis drinking water system ($2,050 with a whole-home install).
Melbourne's tap water is safe to drink. A filter makes it taste, smell and feel better. We won't claim it cures anything.
Only while we cut the system into your main. The rest of the install happens with your water on.
At the start of your water line, ideally at the front of the house or in the garage. Harder-to-reach spots can add cost. We confirm from your photos before you pay anything.
That's why we check your main and your household's water use. Use the flow checker below to see which size suits you.
A filter can only pass so much water. If your household uses more than that at the same time, everyone feels the pressure drop. Count only what's running at once at your busiest time of day, not how many taps and toilets your house has.
Typical flow figures. We check your actual main size and pressure before recommending a system.
Every package includes the whole-home system, valves and fittings, a licensed plumber, a pressure test at your taps and your compliance certificate. Plus a free drinking filter under your kitchen sink.
Each system uses 2 or 3 filter cartridges in a row: the first catch dirt, rust and sand, and the last (carbon) takes out chlorine taste and smell. The main difference between systems is flow rate: how much water they can filter at the same time. Not sure which size you need? Use the flow checker above ↑
Full-flow filtration at the lowest price. Best where the system sits out of sight, like a side path or garage.
Book the Essential
For apartments, townhouses and single-bathroom homes where only one shower runs at a time.
Book the FilterWall Compact
For family homes with two or more bathrooms. Larger 20" cartridges keep pressure up with several taps running.
Book the FilterWallSwaps the first dirt filter for a ScaleProtect cartridge. Melbourne's mains water is soft, so most homes don't need it. We'll tell you honestly if yours does. Price on request.
Want fluoride reduced too? Swap your free Z2 kitchen filter for a Puretec reverse osmosis system, fitted under your sink with its own drinking tap. $2,050 when added to a whole-home install ($2,910 on its own). Needs a separate tap: see the terms.
Watch a 12-month cartridge change: the old sediment filter comes out brown, the new one goes in white. This is what our filters catch before it reaches your taps, showers and appliances.
Puretec FilterWall F5 shown.
We cut the filter into your main line just after the meter, so everything downstream runs through it. Two sediment filters catch dirt, rust and grit, then a carbon block reduces chlorine taste and smell. A bypass valve keeps your water running while cartridges are changed.
Every package comes with a free Puretec PureMix Z2. It connects to the cold line of the mixer tap you already have, so there's no extra tap and no drilling into your stone benchtop. It filters down to 1 micron for drinking and cooking water.
FilterWall systems sit behind an aluminium cover, so you see a clean panel, not a row of filter housings. Choose from 4 standard colours, or 9 in total on the F5, including 5 custom colours to suit your render, cladding or trims.
Cutting into a water main is licensed plumbing work. With us, the people who quote the job are the people who install it.

It mostly comes down to how much water your household uses at once. One bathroom and one shower at a time: the F3 is plenty. Two or more bathrooms, or showers running while the washing machine goes: choose a 55 L/min system: the Essential WH2-55 or the FilterWall F5. The FilterWall adds a third filter and a cover that looks finished on the side of your house.
Usually not in Melbourne. Metro Melbourne's mains water is soft, so scale build-up is rarely a problem. The F4 and F6 replace the first dirt filter with a scale cartridge. For most Melbourne homes you're better off keeping that extra dirt filter (the F3 or F5). If you're in a harder-water area or want extra protection for a hot water unit, we'll talk you through it.
The sediment filters catch dirt, rust, sand and grit from the mains. The carbon filter reduces chlorine taste and odour. The system is designed to improve how your water tastes and smells. It is not a treatment for any health condition.
The Puretec whole-home system, a free PureMix Z2 drinking filter under your kitchen sink, isolation and bypass valves, fittings, installation by a licensed plumber, a pressure test and your compliance certificate. That covers a standard install where the main is accessible near the meter.
No. The PureMix Z2 fits under your sink and connect to the cold line of the mixer tap you already have. There's no extra tap and no drilling into your stone benchtop. Cartridges are changed every 6 to 12 months.
Not for mains water. Your water retailer (Yarra Valley Water or South East Water for most of our suburbs) tests the supply thousands of times a year and publishes the results by suburb. We'll send you the report for your area, so there's no need for a sales visit to your home.
It goes at the start of your water line, just after the meter, so every tap in the house is covered. The best spots are the front of the house or in the garage. The side of the house works too. If you'd like it somewhere harder to reach, the main may need extending, which can add to the cost. We'll confirm the spot and the price from your photos before we book.
Yes. FilterWall covers come in 4 standard colours: Stone White, Mineral Grey, Charcoal and Midnight Black. The F5 also comes in 5 custom colours, 9 in total. Custom colours carry a 2-year finish warranty.
If your main is buried in concrete, needs rerouting, or your mains pressure is high enough to need a pressure limiting valve. We confirm all of this from your photos before we book, so there are no surprises on the day.
Every 6 to 12 months, depending on how much water your household uses. You'll notice lower flow or the chlorine taste returning when they're due. We'll remind you and come back to change them.
A Puretec reverse osmosis system fits under your kitchen sink and supplies a separate drinking water tap. It reduces fluoride and dissolved solids in your drinking water. The $2,050 add-on price applies when it's installed at the same visit as a whole-home system, and replaces the free Z2 kitchen filter. On its own it's $2,910 installed. Prices include a standard tap hole through a stainless sink or laminate bench. Stone or engineered stone benchtops, and 3-way mixer taps instead of a separate tap, are quoted separately. You'll need room under the sink and access to the waste. The system sends some water to the drain as it filters. The membrane and filters have their own replacement schedule and cost. Bought on its own, the reverse osmosis system doesn't include the free Z2, the labour-free cartridge change or any other offer. Those are for whole-home filter installs only.
For installs completed by 31 December 2026, we'll carry out your first cartridge changeover at no labour cost. You pay for the replacement cartridge kit at our standard price. The changeover must be done within 12 months of your install, at a time we arrange with you. One free changeover per installed system. Applies to whole-home filter installs only, and covers the whole-home system's cartridges (not reverse osmosis membranes or filters). Not redeemable for cash.
Puretec WH2 and FilterWall systems carry a 10-year manufacturer warranty: 1 year on parts and labour, plus an additional 9 years on parts. This covers the Essential WH2-55 too. Cartridges aren't covered. Installing with a licensed plumber and using genuine replacement cartridges keeps the warranty valid.
Every install comes with a free kitchen drinking filter. Installed by 31 December? Your first cartridge change is labour free too.
