What Contaminants Does a Whole House Water Filter Remove?

If you’ve ever turned on the tap and wondered what exactly is in your water, you’re not alone. More Australians are now questioning the quality of their water—especially as awareness grows around contaminants like lead, chlorine, and pesticides.

At Water Culture Filtration, we believe that clean, healthy water shouldn't be a luxury. That’s why we’ve developed our Stainless Steel Whole House Water Filtration System with Filters—designed specifically to protect your family from harmful substances, starting from the moment water enters your home.

So, what does our whole house filter remove?

Here’s a breakdown of the most common contaminants found in Australian household water—and how our system helps reduce or eliminate them:

🧪 Lead and Heavy Metals

Our specialised filtration media is specifically engineered for lead and heavy metal reduction. Heavy metals can leach into water from aging pipe infrastructure and pose serious health risks, especially for young children. With our system, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you’re filtering out some of the most toxic contaminants.

🧼 Chlorine and Chloramines

Municipal water is often treated with chlorine or chloramines to disinfect it. While effective for killing bacteria, these chemicals can be harsh on your skin and lungs, not to mention the taste and smell. Our system uses high-grade carbon filtration to dramatically reduce chlorine levels, leaving your water safer, softer, and better tasting.

🌾 Pesticides and Herbicides

Whether you live in a rural area or a suburban neighbourhood, runoff from agriculture and gardening can introduce chemicals like glyphosate into your water supply. Our filtration system is designed to capture a broad range of organic compounds, including harmful pesticides and herbicides.

 

🧬 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

These invisible chemical pollutants often come from industrial waste, paints, cleaning products, and petroleum byproducts. Our multi-stage filtration technology works to trap VOCs before they ever reach your shower, kitchen, or laundry.

 

🌫️ Sediment and Rust

Our system includes a high-capacity sediment pre-filter that catches visible particles like dirt, sand, and rust before they reach your appliances, reducing wear and tear and improving water clarity.

 

A Healthier Home Starts at the Source

Unlike under-sink systems that only treat your drinking water, our whole house system protects every tap in your home—meaning you’re bathing, showering, cooking, and cleaning with safer, filtered water.

Made from durable 304 stainless steel and built for Australian homes, our system is designed to last, perform, and give you the confidence that your home is protected from the inside out.
