Urban mains water in New Zealand is treated to meet regulatory standards. However, depending on location and infrastructure, it can still contain chlorine, sediment and elevated mineral content that affect taste, odour and overall water experience.
For homeowners seeking consistent water quality throughout the property, whole-house mains water filtration offers a practical solution. By filtering water at the point it enters the home, these systems are designed to reduce chlorine and sediment before the water reaches taps, showers and appliances.
Supporting Skin and Hair Comfort
Chlorine is commonly used in municipal water treatment to manage bacteria. While effective for disinfection, it can contribute to dryness and irritation for some individuals, particularly those with pre-existing skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or dandruff.
A whole-house filtration system designed to reduce chlorine can help minimise skin and hair dryness after showering as well as reducing noticeable chlorine odour. For households seeking a more comfortable daily water experience, this can make a meaningful difference.
Helping Protect Plumbing and Appliances
In some regions, mains water contains elevated levels of calcium and magnesium, commonly referred to as hard water. Over time, these minerals can contribute to scale build-up throughout the home. This may appear as white residue on tapware and shower glass, but it can also accumulate inside pipework and appliances, affecting performance and longevity.
The FilterWall™ F4 and F6 models include a ScaleProtect™ cartridge designed to help reduce scale formation in areas with medium water hardness. In locations where water hardness levels are higher, a dedicated water softener such as the Softrol™ range may be recommended to reduce scale build up more effectively.
Chlorine and Sediment Reduction
Designed for New Zealand mains water conditions, the system significantly reduces chlorine and sediment before water enters the internal plumbing. By treating water at the source, the FilterWall™ supports consistent water quality across the entire property.
Improving water taste throughout the home
Chlorine and sediment in mains water can influence both taste and odour. By installing filtration at the point of entry, a whole-house system reduces these elements before water enters the home, delivering filtered water at every tap. From the kitchen and bathrooms to the laundry and the garden hose, water quality remains consistent across the property without the need for multiple point-of-use filters or bottled water.
Supporting Outdoor Use
For homes where irrigation systems or outdoor taps are connected to the mains supply, chlorine may influence soil biology and plant health over time. By filtering water at the point of entry, the FilterWall™ delivers filtered water at every tap, including outdoor outlets, supporting more consistent water quality for gardens and lawns.
The system is also equipped with an integrated bypass, allowing homeowners to divert unfiltered mains water when required. This can be useful for applications such as filling a swimming pool, where chlorine will be reintroduced as part of standard pool treatment.
The FilterWall™ F Series is a freestanding whole-house filtration system designed for straightforward installation and long-term performance. Unlike many wall-mounted systems that may require locating and accessing pipework within the home, the freestanding design allows installation along a fence line, against an exterior wall, or elsewhere in the garden. Positioning the unit close to the mains entry point can help simplify plumbing work and reduce installation complexity.
An architecturally designed protective cover shields the internal components from UV exposure and harsh weather while providing a clean, contemporary finish. Available in 10 colour options, the system integrates neatly into a wide range of exterior styles. Constructed with durable aluminium housing and backed by a 10-year warranty, the FilterWall™ F Series is engineered for long-term reliability in New Zealand conditions.
Purpose-Built Point-of-Entry Design
The FilterWall™ F Series is purpose-built for mains water filtration and installed at the point of entry to the property. Its freestanding configuration allows flexible placement outdoors, helping simplify installation while ensuring filtered water is supplied throughout the home.
Integrated Scale Protection Options
Selected models, including the F4 and F6, incorporate a ScaleProtect™ cartridge to help reduce scale formation in areas with medium water hardness. In regions with higher hardness levels, a dedicated water softener such as the Softrol™ range may be recommended for more comprehensive mineral reduction.
Architectural Exterior Finish
Unlike many exposed filtration systems, the FilterWall™ F Series features an architecturally designed cover available in contemporary finishes. This allows the unit to integrate neatly into outdoor spaces without compromising the home’s exterior aesthetic.
Built for Outdoor Durability
Constructed with a durable aluminium housing, the FilterWall™ F Series is engineered to withstand New Zealand’s outdoor conditions. The protective enclosure shields internal components from UV exposure and weather, supporting long-term performance. The system is backed by a 10-year warranty for added confidence.
A Smarter Approach to Mains Water Quality
Whole-house filtration systems such as the FilterWall™ F Series provide a practical way to address chlorine and sediment in mains water supplies. By filtering water at the point of entry, homeowners can support consistent water quality throughout the property.
