Your report picks the filters. Not a brochure.
Water isn't the same from one suburb to the next — chlorine, hardness and mains age all vary. We read your suburb's published water data and build the three-stage stack to match it.
Sediment
Rated for your mains — coarser or finer depending on pipe age in your area.
Carbon
Sized to your chlorine level, so it lasts the full stretch between deliveries.
Scale conditioning
Matched to your hardness — dialled up for hard-water suburbs.
Three housings, chosen from your report — no two Kelpies are built the same.
One connection. Every tap after it.
Water enters once, at your meter, and passes the three stages before it reaches anything you own. Everything downstream is filtered — tap a zone to see what changes.
One sealed unit at your water meter treats everything before it enters the house — chlorine, sediment and scale handled at the point of entry.
No chlorine means no tight, dry skin after a shower and no pool smell in the bathroom. Softer water, every wash.
Chlorine gone at the meter means every tap tastes and smells better. But water moves too fast through a whole-home filter to catch fluoride or PFAS — for your drinking glass, pair it with reverse osmosis at the sink. Whole-House protects the home; RO finishes the glass.
Filtered water is gentler on clothes and on the machine itself — less chlorine fading fabrics, less sediment wearing the pump.
Scale quietly kills kettles, dishwashers and hot-water systems. Conditioned water means less build-up and appliances that last the way they should.
Kelpie vs the other brands.
“Most filter brands” reflects common patterns across off-the-shelf filter brands, not any specific company.
The road to your first clean glass.
Four steps from your screen to your tap — we handle everything in between.
Certified before it touches your water
Most brands show you the logos. We'd rather tell you what each one actually means.
The certification Australian law requires before anything can be plumbed into your home. No WaterMark, no legal install — it's that simple.
[PLACEHOLDER — WaterMark licence no.]
Every part that touches your water is certified lead-free — the fittings and housings as much as the filter inside.
[PLACEHOLDER — lead-free cert ref.]
Removal figures come from independent laboratory testing, not our marketing department. Nothing rounded up.
[PLACEHOLDER — testing lab + report no.]
Plumbed installs are completed by independent licensed plumbers — we arrange the booking.

How do you choose my filters?
From your address. Every suburb's water is different, so we read your area's published water quality data — chlorine, hardness, mains age — and configure the three-stage stack to match. It's the same data behind your free water report.
Do I need a plumber to install it?
Yes. Whole-House connects at your water mains, so a licensed plumber fits it. Professional install is arranged for you after your free in-home water test and we arrange the booking for you.
Will it remove fluoride or PFAS?
No — and we won't pretend it does. Water moves too fast at the mains to remove them; that needs reverse osmosis right at the tap. For drinking water, pair Whole-Home with the Under-Sink RO.
How often do the filters need replacing?
Typically every 6–12 months, depending on your water and household size. We'll remind you, and a refill takes minutes.
Will it reduce my water pressure?
No. It's sized for whole-home flow, so your showers and taps feel exactly the same as before.
I'm renting — can I use this?
It's a permanent plumbed install, so it's really for homeowners. Renting? The Under-Sink RO is a far smaller ask — one tidy, reversible unit under the kitchen sink — and we're happy to make the case to your landlord.
Where does it actually go?
On an outside wall, right where the mains enters your home — usually near the water meter. It's built to live outdoors, and the plumber picks the exact spot on install day.
Does it treat hot water too?
Yes — it sits before your hot-water system, so every tap, shower and appliance in the house gets filtered water, hot or cold.
Does it protect my appliances?
That's half the job. Scale and sediment quietly shorten the life of kettles, dishwashers and hot-water systems — stripping them out at the point of entry protects everything downstream.
Will my water taste different?
Less like a swimming pool, mostly — chlorine is the dominant taste in mains water, and the Whole-House takes out ~99% of it at the meter.
For the best water in the house, run both systems. They do different jobs: the Whole-House protects every tap, shower and appliance, but water moves through it too fast to catch fluoride or PFAS. The Under-Sink RO is the slow, fine filter that finishes the glass you actually drink. Whole-House for the home, RO for the glass — you need both to cover both.
