WHOLE HOUSE WATER FILTRATION
Cleaner Water. Every Tap. Every Day.
Whole-house water filtration designed around your water supply, your property and your household.
Whether your home uses rainwater, bore water or mains water, the right filtration system can improve water quality throughout your home.
WTS supplies and installs whole-house water filtration systems incorporating sediment filtration, activated carbon and UV treatment where required.
From a simple sediment filtration system through to multi-stage filtration with UV disinfection, we can help you find the right solution for your water.
Better Water Throughout Your Home
A whole-house water filtration system treats water as it enters your home, rather than only treating the water from one individual tap.
This means filtered water is available throughout your property for:
-
Drinking and cooking
-
Showers and baths
-
Washing
-
Laundry
-
Hot water systems
-
Household appliances
The filtration system can be configured to suit your water source and the issues identified in your water supply.
There isn't a one-size-fits-all filtration system. The right combination of filtration stages depends on your water.
How Whole-House Water Filtration Works
A whole-house filtration system can use one or two stages of sediment filtration, followed by additional treatment where required.
01 — Polypleat Sediment Filtration
Polypleat cartridges provide another option for sediment filtration, with a pleated surface offering a large filtration area.
They can be used as part of a single-stage system or combined with polyspun filtration where additional particulate filtration is required.
The combination of Polypleat and Polyspun filtration can provide two stages of sediment removal before further treatment.
The exact cartridge configuration depends on the incoming water quality and the requirements of the property.
02 — Polyspun Sediment Filtration
Polyspun cartridges provide depth filtration to capture suspended particles within the water.
Depending on the cartridge selected, polyspun filtration can help reduce:
-
Fine sediment
-
Dirt
-
Sand
-
Silt
-
Rust particles
-
Other suspended particles
Polyspun filtration is particularly useful where fine particulate filtration is required before further treatment.
03 — Activated Carbon Filtration
Activated carbon filtration can be added where treatment for taste, odour or chlorine is required.
Depending on the cartridge and water quality, activated carbon can help reduce:
-
Chlorine where present
-
Unpleasant tastes
-
Odours
-
Certain organic compounds
Carbon filtration is particularly useful for improving the taste and smell of treated mains water and some private water supplies.
04 — UV Water Disinfection
Where microbiological treatment is required, UV disinfection provides an additional treatment barrier without adding chemicals to the water.
UV treatment works by exposing the water to ultraviolet light as it passes through the UV chamber.
Effective pre-filtration is important for UV systems, as suspended particles can interfere with UV transmission.
WTS can supply a range of UV systems, including validated UV systems for applications such as schools and organisations where validated performance is required.
Whole-House Filtration for Different Water Supplies
Rainwater & Tank Water
Rainwater harvesting provides an excellent source of water for many homes, but the quality of stored rainwater depends on the catchment, roof, gutters, tank and surrounding environment.
Leaves, organic material, bird and animal contamination and sediment can enter a rainwater collection system.
Good water treatment starts before the water reaches your house.
Pre-tank filtration can reduce the amount of organic material and sediment entering your tank, while post-tank whole-house filtration provides additional treatment before water is distributed throughout the home.
Where tank water is used as a household drinking-water supply, water testing can help determine whether additional treatment such as UV is appropriate.

Bore Water
Bore water can vary considerably from one property to another.
Depending on the source, bore water may contain sediment, iron, manganese, hardness or other naturally occurring minerals. Microbiological quality can also vary.
That's why testing is an important first step when bore-water quality is uncertain.
WTS can arrange comprehensive water testing and use the results to help determine the appropriate treatment solution.
Mains Water
Mains water is already treated, but whole-house filtration can provide additional treatment for homeowners wanting to improve the taste, odour or appearance of their water.
Depending on the system, filtration may reduce chlorine, sediment and other unwanted particles throughout the home.
Whole-house sediment filtration can also help reduce the amount of particulate material reaching appliances, hot water systems and plumbing fixtures.
Why Choose WTS for Water Filtration?
Choosing a water filter isn't simply about buying a cartridge and connecting it to the pipework.
The filtration system needs to work with your:
Water source
Tank, bore, spring or mains.
Water quality
Sediment, minerals, taste, odour and microbiological considerations.
Household demand
Number of occupants and expected water usage.
Flow requirements
The system needs to provide adequate flow without creating unnecessary pressure loss.
Existing equipment
Pumps, tanks, pipework and other water-treatment equipment all need to work together.
Maintenance requirements
Filters and UV systems require ongoing maintenance to continue performing properly.
At WTS, we look at the whole water system rather than simply selling you a filter.

Validated UV Systems for Schools & Organisations
For some applications, particularly schools and organisations, validated UV systems may be required.
WTS can supply validated UV options where the application calls for validated performance.
This is different from simply supplying a standard domestic UV system.
If you're responsible for water treatment at a school, community facility, organisation or other site where specific treatment requirements apply, talk to us about the appropriate system.
Keep Your Water Filtration System Performing
A filtration system needs regular maintenance to continue working effectively.
Sediment cartridges gradually collect material from the water and can eventually restrict flow and affect system performance.
UV systems also require regular maintenance, including UV lamp replacement and inspection and cleaning of the quartz sleeve.
The maintenance requirements depend on the system and water quality, but regular servicing is an important part of keeping your water-treatment system performing as intended. Your existing UV maintenance article covers this in much more detail, including cartridge maintenance, annual UV lamp replacement and quartz-sleeve cleaning.
