Water Filtration Systems by a licensed Shellharbour plumber servicing the Illawarra

Local water filtration systems you can actually rely on

Filtration choices range from simple single-stage under-sink filters through to multi-stage and reverse-osmosis systems for drinking water at the kitchen sink, and whole-house filtration at the meter where required (removing sediment and chlorine across every tap, shower and appliance in the house). We install Puretec, Aquasafe and Filtap under-sink and whole-house systems across Shellharbour, Wollongong, Kiama and Albion Park.

Common installs: under-sink filter feeding the kitchen mixer and a separate filtered-cold tap, whole-house twin filter at the meter for sensitive-skin households (especially common in chloraminated areas), shower-head filters for kids with eczema, and certified UV systems for rural properties on rainwater. Cartridge change-out is included on first install and we set a calendar reminder so it doesn't get forgotten.

If you're upgrading the kitchen we also install Zip HydroTap and Billi filtered-boiling-and-chilled systems — these go through us as part of the kitchen rough-in/fit-off and the filter cartridges are supplied at trade pricing through the warranty.
