The advantage of water filtration for the whole home
Let’s talk about the undervalued hero of our daily routines – water! An often overlooked essential despite its vital role in our health and well-being. Shockingly, 80% of Australians still fall short when it comes to adequate hydration, but why? We can all relate to the bad taste and smell of mains water, and how unappealing it is that makes us drink less, but ever wondered why it tastes like a pool?
Enter chlorine, the culprit in Australian and New Zealand mains water. Dehydration silently wreaks havoc in our bodies with dizziness and lightheadedness, even though water’s essential functions include regulating body temperature and lubricating joints.
So, with a complete water filter system for your home installed, picture this – imagine waking in the middle of the night needing a glass of water, and now having access to clean, great-tasting water straight from your mains water ensuite tap. Only a few steps away, and no need to stumble downstairs and interrupt your sleep cycle! The FilterWall-F3 Series can turn every tap in your home into a refreshing water pit stop!
Welcome the complete package and convenience of great-tasting water anywhere in your home, for naturally occurring daily hydration – you won’t look back!
How does the absence of a whole house water filter impact your physical health?
That distinct scent of chlorine lingering after a refreshing dip in the pool is a nostalgic memory for many of us. Yet, what about the less-than-pleasant aftermath of red and dry skin? It’s easy to overlook the daily impact of chlorine in our mains water shower and skincare regimens, yet its effects are far from minimal.
Research highlights the role of chlorine stripping the skin of essential oils, particularly concerning those with eczema and psoriasis. With nearly 15% of Australians grappling with these conditions, the financial toll of treatments is averaging $425 AUD per person annually, and it’s adding up!
But it’s not just pool water; even mains water running through our shower head and taps with its chlorine content can exacerbate skin issues. Factor in the aggravating effects of hard water in certain regions, and the need for the best solution becomes even clearer.
The FilterWall-F3 Series whole home water filtration system offers relief by reducing the chlorine exposure in mains water and balances the mineral levels, potentially alleviating both skin discomfort and financial strain. A complete win – win!
Why is having a whole home water filter system beneficial for your hair?
Do you find yourself constantly returning to the hair salon, baffled by how quickly your hair colour fades? Well, it turns out it might not just be your imagination. The culprit? Chlorine lurking in copper pipes. This chemical, when combined with iron and other minerals, can wreak havoc on bleached and coloured hair, leading to fast fading and even changes in colour.
Celebrity hair colourists even confirm this phenomenon, revealing how mineral build-up from chlorine can leave locks looking dull in just a matter of weeks. Investing in complete home filtration for the bathroom, you can improve overall hydration, texture, and reduce brittle ends, but also preserve your colour for longer – saving you less trips to the salon and money in the long run! But the damage doesn’t stop there. Hard water, which is abundant in minerals, can create a moisture barrier in your hair, preventing essential nutrients from being absorbed. This can result in slower growth, increased breakage, and even thinning.
Fortunately, there’s a simple fix: the FilterWall-F3 Series for whole house water filtration. By reducing chlorine and minerals in your shower routine, you’ll be saying goodbye to fading colour, and hello to vibrant, luscious locks!
Designed For Australian Homes:
Understanding the importance of aesthetics, the FilterWall-F3 is available in 4 standard colour options, designed to seamlessly blend with any outdoor setting. For those who prefer a splash of colour, Puretec have also developed a set of 5 vibrant colour options.

FAQ
The water passes through the carbon filter, PFAS molecules are attracted to and held on the surface of the carbon particles. This makes it very effective at trapping a wide range of impurities, including PFAS.
The FilterWall™ is a whole home water filter, expertly designed for mains water supply (also known as town water). For homes using well water or other sources, Puretec offers a range of specialised products to meet your unique filtration needs.
Whole house water filtration systems sterilise water as it enters a property at the point of entry (POE), where the main water line connects. This setup ensures that all water entering the property is filtered, giving you access to clean water for drinking, bathing, and washing clothes.
Adding chlorine to the mains water supply is a standard practice by councils to kill bacteria, ensuring the water is safe to drink. But does this mean the water is optimal for every use?
The presence of chlorine can leave the water tasting and smelling unpleasant, which can deter us from drinking as much water as we should, impacting our hydration levels.
For those with dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, or dandruff, chlorine can exacerbate symptoms and cause further irritation. It can also accelerate the fading of coloured hair, leaving it dry and brittle.
Installing a full house water filtration system enhances the taste of your water, encouraging better hydration. It can reduce skin irritations and prolong the vibrancy of coloured hair. The reduction of sediment means reduced buildup and blockages in pipes and appliances, ultimately extending their lifespan. Access to great tasting water on tap means a reduced reliance on single-use plastic bottles, minimising environmental footprint and reducing grocery bills.
The F4 and F6 models of the FilterWall™ F Series are equipped with ScaleGuard technology, adept at mitigating scale deposits.
In areas with medium water hardness (up to 140ppm) where light to medium scale buildup occurs, a whole house water filter system with ScaleGuard technology is an excellent choice.
Brisbane, most of Perth, Adelaide, and Auckland all fall into this category of water hardness.
The F4 and F6 models help manage hardness by changing the molecular structure of minerals that cause scale deposits, without removing essential minerals like calcium and magnesium. While these models do not ‘soften’ water in the traditional sense (by reducing calcium and magnesium ions), they will make scale effortless to clean away, reducing spotting on glassware and shower screens.
For those situated in regions with high water hardness levels, specifically exceeding 140 ppm, it’s advisable to complement your FilterWall™ unit with a dedicated water softener (after the FilterWall™ unit) to ensure thorough scale management and optimal water quality throughout your home.
Chlorine, while essential for disinfecting water supplies, can have undesirable effects on your home’s water quality. Reducing chlorine enhances the taste and odour of your water, alleviates skin irritation, and contributes to softer hair and skin. The FilterWall™ F Series efficiently removes* chlorine levels by up to 98%, ensuring that every tap in your home delivers water that’s clean and refreshing.
Whole house filters offer widespread filtration, treating all the water coming into your home. This means you’ll enjoy cleaner, filtered water at every tap, from the kitchen sink to the shower. In contrast, under sink filters provide targeted filtration for just one faucet, typically in the kitchen.
The size of your water filtration system depends on your household’s water consumption and the number of bathrooms. The F3 and F4 models are suitable for smaller to medium homes with a single bathroom, whereas the F5 and F6 models, with their higher flow rate and larger cartridges, are ideal for larger homes with multiple bathrooms. Still not sure? Get in touch with our friendly customer care team, they’d be more than happy to help find the right solution for your needs.
We have a range of 4 standard colours that are stocked in our distribution facilities and at many of our dealer stores. We also offer a range of 5 vibrant colours made to order. Call our Customer Service on 1300 140 140 (AU) 1800 130 140 (NZ) to enquire.
The FilterWall™ F Series can be purchased through your local Puretec dealer. For ease and convenience, you can locate your nearest dealer on the Puretec website, ensuring you have access to authentic Puretec products and replacement cartridges.
The lifespan of whole house filter cartridges typically ranges from 6 to 12 months, depending on usage and water quality. Look out for signs like reduced water flow or a change in taste and odour, which indicate it’s time for a replacement with genuine Puretec cartridges.
The washable first stage cartridge is particularly useful in high sediment applications, ensuring water flow isn’t restricted by blockages. However, for optimal performance and hygiene, it is recommended to replace the filter cartridges in the FilterWall™ F Series rather than reusing them. Regular replacement with genuine parts maintains the quality of your drinking water and the integrity of the filtration system.
The FilterWall™ F Series should be installed at the point where your mains water supply enters your home. This ensures that all the water distributed throughout your house is filtered. Remember, installation must be carried out by a licensed plumber.
Installation costs for a point of entry water filter can vary based on several factors, such as local rates and the complexity of your plumbing system. We recommend installation by a licensed plumber to ensure proper function and to maintain warranty coverage.
Maintaining your FilterWall™ F Series involves isolating the water supply, using the provided spanner to remove* the filter bowls, and following the specified steps for replacing the cartridges. Full cleaning instructions are provided with your system and should be adhered to, in order to maintain optimal filtration performance.
*10 year Warranty (1 year parts and labour, 9 years parts only). Finish warranty for custom colours (Open Skies, Lime Sherbet, Sweet Apricot, Cherry Blossoms, Wisteria) is 2 years.
