Your report picks the filters. Not a brochure.
Chlorine, hardness and the age of the mains all change from one suburb to the next. We read your suburb's published data and choose the three stages to match it.
Every figure from the water supplier's own published report.
123- SedimentRated finer for your older mains
- CarbonSized to 0.3–0.5 mg/L chlorine
- Scale conditioningDialled up for 99–137 mg/L hardness
Three housings, each chosen from your report.
Filtered once. Clean at every tap.
Water passes the three stages before it reaches anything you own. Everything downstream is filtered: showers, kitchen, laundry, hot water. Tap a zone to see what changes.
One sealed unit, fitted wherever the mains enter your property, treats everything before it reaches 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 before the water reaches the house means every tap tastes and smells better. But water moves too fast through a whole-house 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.

The bits worth knowing.
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, email hello@kelpiewater.com.au and a real person answers.
How do you choose my filters?
From your address. We read your area's published water data, chlorine, hardness and mains age, and choose the three stages to match. It's the same data behind your free water report.
Do I need a plumber to install it?
Yes. It connects to the mains before they enter the house, so a certified Kelpie installer fits it. We arrange the booking and it's included in the price.
Will it remove fluoride or PFAS?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. Water moves too fast through a whole-house filter to catch either. That takes reverse osmosis at the tap, which is what the Under-Sink RO is for.
How often do the filters need replacing?
Typically every 6 to 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 or on posts, wherever the mains enter your property. It's built to live outdoors, and your installer picks the best spot on the 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 before the water reaches the house.
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.
