Heavy Metal Wholehouse Water Filter System

Our Heavy Metal Wholehouse Water Filter System has the added benefit of removing heavy metals as well as 99.99% of chlorine and organic compounds such as trihalomethane, pesticides, herbicides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, phenols and VOCs.

The heavy metal cartridge is specially made for The Healthy House. It contains KDF which removes dissolved gases such as chlorine, hydrogen sulphide and methane, controls bacterial growth, reduces levels of microorganisms and will remove virtually any soluble heavy metal. The heavy metal cartridge is used in the first housing to remove the heavy metals and also to act as a pre-filter.

The Heavy Metal Wholehouse Water Filter System comes in two sizes to best suit your home. The WH3HM is the smaller unit that houses one Heavy Metal filter and one Carbon Block. It is ideal for a home of up to four people. The WH6HM is the larger unit that houses one Heavy Metal filter and two Carbon Blocks. It is ideal for homes with five people or more. If you would like a higher flow rate, have low water pressure, a combi boiler or a mega-flow system we recommend combining the WH6HM with a high flow fitting kit - two braided stainless steel hoses that do not restrict the water flow to the unit.

The filter housing carries a five year guarantee. Always allow 10cm below the unit for changing the filters. A wholehouse water filter should ideally be combined with a drinking water system.

Independent Quality Control Testing
The wholehouse filters are manufactured with ISO9001: 2000 Quality Assurance. NSF (National Sanitation Foundation), WRAS (Water Regulatory Advisory Scheme) and The Water Quality Association use a very strict set of criteria to continually monitor the filter candles and performance of the units.                                      

Replacing the filters
The Heavy Metal filter needs to be replaced every twelve months for four people and every six months for six people. The Carbon Block cartridge should be replaced every twelve months. This applies to both units so that the two Carbon Block cartridges on the WH6HM both need to be replaced annually.

Filter reminder service
It is important to replace the filter candles in your water filter system on a regular basis. When you purchase your water filter we will put your name onto our filter reminder service so that you can keep your water filter functioning effectively. We offer this service for the drinking water systems, the wholehouse systems, the shower filters and the crystal ball bath dechlorinator.

What is the difference between the Standard Wholehouse and the Heavy Metal Wholehouse units?
The Heavy Metal Unit has the added benefit of removing heavy metals. If you know that there are high levels of heavy metals in your water, or if your still have old metal pipes in use, this would be the one to choose. If you are unsure as to the heavy metal levels in your water we would advise you to have your water tested by your local water board.

Bore Holes -  If you have a bore hole please contact us for both wholehouse filtration and drinking water system advice.
