Get the Right Filter – Without the Hype

If you’re here, you probably want clean, safe water—and you’re not alone. The reality is that water quality varies wildly between properties, suburbs, and sources. You don’t want to waste your money filtering something that isn’t there, and you don’t want to be sold a system you don’t need.

Where to begin and what you need to know

First – Test Your Water

You can either:

  • Send a sample to a certified laboratory for a comprehensive written report, or
  • Use DIY test strips, like the Atlas Assessment Kit, which can even detect bacteria like E. coli. These are available at Tank Master.

Knowing what’s actually in your water gives you a clear starting point.


Next – How Much Water Are You Filtering?

Are you looking to treat all the water in your house—or just the water coming through your kitchen tap?

Do you need to filter the water that goes onto your lawn? Probably not.

Once you know how much water you want to filter, you’ll be better placed to choose a system that suits you, not one that breaks the bank or demands constant maintenance.


Filter Facts (No Snake Oil Here)

Let’s cut through the smoke and mirrors

  • Do you have scheme (town) water? You don’t need a UV system.
  • Do you want to remove chlorine? Use a carbon filter.
  • Do you have salty water? Basic filters can’t remove salt.
  • Do you want to filter out bacteria? Look for a filter that is finer than 1 micron.
  • Do you have hard water (white deposits on glass)? You need a water softener, not a filter.
  • Are you dealing with acidic water (low pH)? A basic filter won’t help you. You’ll need a neutralising system.

There are specialty cartridges that, using ion-exchange or other advanced methods, can help in specific cases. These are best used when you know exactly what issue you are trying to solve.
