Whole House Water Filter Installation
Whole House Water Filter Installation Sydney Wide
Every tap in your home should deliver clean, safe water, not just the one you’ve put a jug filter under. A whole house water filtration system treats water at the point it enters your property, so every shower, tap, washing machine and hot water system gets the same filtered supply.
At Transform Water, we supply and install whole house water filtration systems that treat every drop of water entering your property. Whether your home runs on mains water, rainwater tanks, bore water or a combination of sources. Our one system supply, installed once, protecting the whole property.
What Is a Whole House Water Filter?
A whole house water filter (also known as a point-of-entry system) is installed at the main water line where water first enters your property. Unlike a single tap filter, it treats all the water in your home before it reaches your kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, hot water system and outdoor taps.
That means:
- Filtered drinking and cooking water from every tap
- Cleaner water for showering and bathing – gentler on skin and hair
- Protection for hot water systems, dishwashers, washing machines and plumbing from sediment and scale
- Removal of chlorine taste and odour throughout the entire home
- Safer water from rainwater tanks and bore supplies
We Supply and Install the Complete System
Every property is different, which is why we handle the entire process in-house, from the initial water assessment through supply, installation and ongoing servicing.
We Assess Your Water
1
We start by understanding your water source and what’s in it. If you’re on tank or bore water, we can carry out water treatment and testing to identify sediment, bacteria, hardness, iron, tannins or other contaminants before we recommend anything.
We Supply & Install
2
Based on your water quality, household needs, and available space, we supply and install the right filtration setup at the main point of entry, so your water is treated before it flows through the rest of your property.
We Service and Maintain It
3
Filters need periodic replacement and UV lamps need annual changes to keep performing. We offer scheduled filter servicing and maintenance so your system keeps protecting your home year after year.
What’s Included in Our Installation Service
We assess your water source and usage before recommending a system, then handle the full installation.
Our service includes:
- Testing your water source, mains, tank, or bore, to identify what needs filtering
- Recommending the right combination of sediment, carbon, UV or softening stages
- Installing the system at your property’s main water entry point
- Connecting and pressure-testing the full setup
- Confirming water flow and quality at multiple taps once installed
- Leaving the installation area clean and explaining your maintenance schedule
What Goes Into a Whole House System
Most whole house installations combine two or more of these stages, matched to your water source and what you’re trying to remove. Read our full guide to types of water filters for more detail on each.
Sediment Pre-Filters
1
First stage of protection. Removes dirt, rust and sand before water reaches the rest of the system or your plumbing.
Best For – Rainwater tanks & bore water
UV Purification
2
Disables bacteria and viruses using UV light, with no added chemicals. Common on tank and bore-fed properties.
Best For – Microbial protection
Carbon Filter
3
This helps improve taste and smell by reducing chlorine, chemicals, and odours.
Best for:
Mains water, chlorine smell, bad taste, and everyday household use.
Water Softening
4
Ion exchange softening reduces calcium and magnesium, cutting limescale build-up in pipes and hot water systems.
Best For – Hard water areas
Multi-Stage Systems
5
Combines sediment, carbon and UV (and softening where needed) into one point-of-entry unit for complete coverage.
Best For – Most whole house installs
Suited to Mains, Tank & Bore Water
The right whole house setup depends on your water source.
Mains / town water – Mains water properties usually need sediment and carbon filtration to deal with chlorine, taste and minor sediment.
Rainwater tanks – Rainwater tank properties typically need sediment filtration plus UV purification to manage microbial risk. See our rainwater tank filtration installation page for tank-specific setups.
Bore water – Bore water properties often need the fullest combination, sediment, carbon, UV and sometimes softening, depending on what’s in the ground.

FAQ
Not when it’s sized and installed correctly. We match the system’s flow rate to your household demand so you won’t notice any drop in pressure at your taps or showers.
Most sediment and carbon cartridges last 6–12 months, and UV lamps should be replaced annually. We offer scheduled servicing so you never have to think about it.
Absolutely – it’s one of our specialties. We install complete tank-to-tap filtration including pump integration, sediment staging, carbon filtration and UV sterilisation, and we can clean and service your tank at the same visit.
You don’t need one, but many customers add an under-sink reverse osmosis unit at the kitchen for the highest level of drinking water purity. The whole house system protects everything; the under-sink unit polishes your drinking water.
Yes. We service, repair and upgrade most makes and models of whole house and under sink systems, even if we didn’t install them.
