If you can’t remember what you ordered last time, give us a call or send over an email. We will look at your account and tell you which filters are required. 

If you have moved into a new property, we can also set you up with a new system which is equivalent to what you previously owned. 

In some rare cases, a customer will order a product that isn’t immediately available. In those cases we will:

1. Call or email the customer immediately and let them know. We’ll inform them of the expected ETA of the product/s in question
2. The customer then has the option of waiting for the product/s to arrive or receiving a partial/full refund

We have an extensive network of Australian suppliers, so in most cases any out of stock items arrive within 2-4 days. 

Absolutely. Get in touch with us and we will be able to tell you:

• If the item is still available in Australia
• How long it will be till we get more stock
• What alternatives are available 

If you have ordered the wrong product, give us a call and we can help you organise a return. We will provide a full refund for the cost of the product once it has arrived.  

Unfortunately, we cannot provide refunds on any filters or fittings which have had water running through them as they cannot be re-sold. 

Generic filters are more affordable alternatives to the official filter. For example, Saipol has released generic alternatives for most Zip filters. There are also generic alternatives to most branded fridge filters.

In some cases, the original filter is no longer manufactured or cannot be imported into Australia, so the generic is the only option available. 

The generics we stock are high-quality products which are much more affordable than the branded originals. A great way to save money while still enjoying a high-quality product.

We only give customers generic alternatives when they have specifically ordered one. If you order a genuine product, that is exactly what you will receive.

Water filters remove contaminants by either chemically attracting them to the filter media, physically blocking their passage through the media or by chemically changing the properties of the water.

Most filters have a micron rating according to the porous structure. The lower the micron rating the finer the filtration. Higher micron rated filters are for coarse filtration and lower micron ratings are for finer filtration. As a guide, suspended solids such as dirt, rust etc. are mostly removed at 20 microns down to 5 microns.

Rope wound filters have been replaced with polypropylene filters, commonly called poly spun filters. Poly spun sediment filters have a high dirt holding capacity also an excellent flow rate until they are totally loaded with sediment.

Pleated washable filters have a large surface area and can be washed and reused 3-5 times. Pleated filters don’t have the depth of the poly spun filters to hold sediment but have a larger surface area due to the pleats. Pleated filters trap dirt on the surface so it can be mostly washed off. They will not restrict flow until they are totally covered with sediment.

Sediment filters are used as whole of house filters or as pre filters before carbon filters, as carbon doesn’t have the same high flow capacity and will restrict the flow when sediment clogs the carbon’s porous structure.

Activated carbon is a widely used for drinking water treatment. Activation of carbon is achieved by high temperature steam, which produces a very high surface area in the carbon allowing the carbon to absorb organic matter, chlorine, chemicals and so on, improving bad taste and odours.

Carbon filters come in granules or are pressed into solid block filters. Silver impregnated carbon is excellent for inhibiting the growth of bacteria in the filter carbon.

It’s very important to use the right filter for your situation and needs, such as flow rate, water quality and level of filtration required.

Fluoride cannot be removed from water with carbon or sediment filters. Only specialised filters are capable of removing fluoride from water. We have both under sink fluoride removal kits and in-line fluoride removal kits, links are listed below.

Most filters are of a standard size but there are a few manufactures that have made non standard size filters. If you think you have one of these filters simply contact us and we maybe able to get them for you or we can convert your system over to a standard size filter, which in most cases will be cheaper to replace and available to purchase more easily.

Standard size housings take 10″ long x 2.5″ diameter filters, these filters are also available in 20″ & 30″ long. The bigger standard size housings take 10″ long & 20′ long x 4.5″ diameter filters, these filters fit the extra large filter housings for whole of house or commercial applications where a high flow rate is required.

We have an extensive range of under sink, bench top and portable filters to suit your needs. Filters can produce drinking water of the same or better quality as bottled water depending on which system you choose. These filters will remove things like chlorine, dirt, rust, bad taste, odours, giardia, crypto and other bacteria. Follow the links below.

Using a shower filter is one of the most effective and easiest ways to reduce harmful exposure to Chlorine and other chemicals that may appear in our water.

Did you know that more chlorine enters the body through skin absorption and inhalation while taking a shower than through drinking tap water? That’s a fact! Removal of Chlorine from showering water can reduce the risk of asthma and bronchitis in people who are prone to breathing difficulties, and can also reduce the presence of skin rashes and the drying effects of Chlorine.

Filters can reduce symptoms of chlorine exposure like Eczema, dry, irritated and itchy skin, damaged and brittle hair, flaky-itching scalp, redness and burning of the eyes and dizziness after showering. In a shower, the chlorine is vaporized and inhaled into the lungs where it sinks directly into the blood stream and is transported throughout the body.

As well as your skin feeling softer your hair is able to preserve its natural moisturising oils, making it softer and healthier. This will also save you money by reducing the need for expensive moisturisers and skin treatments.

Chlorine has also been proven to increase fatigue in the body, therefore showering in filtered, chlorine free water will result in higher energy levels and better overall health. A good shower water filter can even help keep the shower and the bathroom cleaner.

When contaminated water comes out of the shower, it accumulates on the floor of the shower, in the drains and on the walls of the shower and in the bathroom.

That film of grime that accumulates in bathrooms is coming from the steam that you enjoy standing in during a long, hot shower. The filters are pH balanced and will help reduce the green staining on tiles.

Shower and bath filters can be easily installed by anyone in a couple of minutes and there is a range of different filters available to suit both fixed and hand held shower heads.
