How Often should I change my water filters?

We believe that replacing your water filter cartridge more regularly is more optimal to keep water clean and bacteria free, within reason. A good practice wold be to replace every 6 months.

You UV Bulb Should be replaced every 12 months, while bulbs normally have a life span of 12-18 months the effeiceny reduces over time

What size filter should I Choose?

This is a bit of a debate, however when we make recommendations relating to Filter Sizes 10 inch or 20 inch.

Our recommendation would it depends on your Average usage, if you have a large house (i.e. 3+ bathroom and washing machine, dishwasher and...) then go for the 20" filters, if you have a small house or bach (i.e. 1 bathroom etc) then 10" filters are plenty.

The standard 2 bathroom house, depends on how much water you use, if you are not very conservative, don't want to loose pressure, or have a larger family then go for the 20" filters, if you live in a mid sized house with fewer people of very conservative water sage then go for 10" filters.

What Type of filter should I choose?

Choosing the right water filtration system would depend on the type of water you want to filter.

Our general Guide line is as follows:

For a standard only roof collection water tank installation we normally recommend using a two stage filter system, this removes all the larger and then smaller particles from the water, if you are topping up from a council supply (chlorine) or have an odour rich water supply then add a Carbon Filter as a 3rd stage

Adding a U.V. system destroys 99.99% of Harmful micro-organisms, including E-coli, Cryptosporidium, campylobacter and Giardia. (This is the most cost effective and efficient method For the treatment of Biological contaminated water containin "faecal coliforms" caused by Birds, possums on exposed gutters and Live stock faecal run off into streams or shallow Bores)



My Water pressure has dropped or I have no pressure at all?



The filter most likely cause of this will be clogged filter.

Your filters will need to be changed and your housing flushed to remove any remaining Sediment before installing the new filter cartridges
