Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

Our filtration options start at $920 with an under-sink reverse osmosis system fully installed and elevate towards $3900 with a whole house system, which provides your entire house from the shower to your drinking water tap with excellent quality water.

What are cysts or cryptosporidium in your water?

Cysts are a stage in the life cycle of some parasites, including protozoa and worms. Cysts are a form of these parasites surrounded by a protective outer layer, allowing them to survive outside a host for extended periods, including through the chlorination process used in water treatment. If ingested, cysts can mature into parasites and cause various health problems. The PB1 and Chloragaurd filter ranges specialise in significantly reducing these parasites along with heavy metals and volatile organic compounds.

How Often do I have to change the filters?

The filter and membrane exchange duration varies depending on the system you choose for your household. The reverse osmosis under-sink option requires exchanging sediment and carbon block filters every 12 months. At the same time, the membrane in the RO system can last up to 3 years. The whole house system requires filter exchanges to be conducted every 12 months.

What is the Chloragaurd filter?

Choraguard water filtration systems are designed with advanced filtration technology that can effectively remove impurities, contaminants, and harsh chemicals from water, including chlorine and chloramines. These substances can cause skin irritation and inflammation, which can exacerbate sensitive skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea. By removing these irritants and pollutants from water, Choraguard filtration systems help to provide gentle, soothing, and non-irritating water that can be beneficial for people with sensitive skin conditions.

"Angus from Home Filtration Systems was very helpful and easy to deal with. He provided a whole of house system that turned our town supply into nice tasting, clean water, even the veggie garden is better. The filter system also cleaned up our young son's eczema almost overnight. The improvement over our dirty town (Meekatharra) water supply is like chalk and cheese. I cannot recommend Angus' system enough."

"The water filters we added to our family home has been great. The water tastes far fresher and even looks free from sediment. Angus and the team were easy to deal with and installation plus aftercare services have been great. I would highly recommend Home Filtration Systems."

"Since installing a Home Filtration System our water tastes much cleaner and I no longer get itchy skin in the shower. Definitely worth the money and would recommend this product!"
