Standard Single Wholehouse Water Filter System

The Single Standard Wholehouse unit comes in two sizes. The WH1 has a 300,000 litre capacity for up to four people. The WH2 has a 600,000 litre capacity for five or more people. The unit is designed to be plumbed in where the water enters the house. It is relatively easy to fit by an experienced DIY person or a plumber and comes with complete fitting instructions.

The Carbon Block cartridge is very effective at removing 99.99% of chlorine and organic compounds such as trihalomethane, pesticides, herbicides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, phenols and VOCs.

The filter replacement times are based upon one person using an average of 150 litres of water per day for drinking, bathing and washing (55,000 litres per year). A wholehouse water filter should ideally be combined with a drinking water system. If you have a combi-boiler, a mega-flow system or have low water pressure, we recommend the WH2, instead of the WH1, with a high flow fitting kit - two braided stainless steel hoses that do not restrict the water flow to the unit.

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 undersink units.

Replacing the filters
The Carbon Block cartridge should be replaced every twelve months. This applies to both units.

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.
