Collection: Water Filters

Which water filter suits your household?

How much filtered water you use points to the right type. A single person or couple who just want better-tasting drinking water suit a water filter jug that sits in the fridge — cheap, simple, no installation. A family that gets through a lot of water gains from an under sink filter plumbed in, delivering filtered water on tap without refilling a jug. A renter who can't plumb in suits a tap-mounted filter or a benchtop unit. Work out your water use and whether you can install, and the type follows — jug for light use, under-sink for a household, tap-mount for renters.

What does a water filter actually remove?

Different filters target different things, so check what a filter is rated to reduce. Most improve taste and smell by reducing chlorine, which is the common reason people filter tap water. Better filters also reduce sediment, and some target specific contaminants like heavy metals. Check the filter's rating for what it reduces, and whether that matches your concern — taste, or something specific. Australian mains water is treated and safe to drink, so filtering is usually about taste and preference rather than safety, but a filter rated for your particular concern gives peace of mind.

How often do filter cartridges need replacing?

This is the ongoing cost people forget. Filter cartridges have a lifespan — usually measured in litres or months — after which they stop working well and can harbour bacteria, so they must be replaced on schedule. A jug filter cartridge might last a month or two; an under-sink cartridge often six months to a year. Factor the replacement cartridge cost into your decision, since a cheap filter with expensive or frequent cartridges can cost more over time than a pricier one with long-life filters. Check cartridge availability and price before buying, not after.
