Our Recommendations for Water Filters on the Gold Coast
There are three primary water sources available for Gold Coast residents; town water, rainwater and bore water.
Town/City Water
If you are on regular Gold Coast city or town water, we recommend a simple Benchtop or an Under Sink Water Filter. However, if your living arrangements are more permanent (i.e., homeowner) then it is very popular to install a Whole House Filter and use point-of-use water filters for drinking, washing and showering.
Rain Water
A rainwater tank can be a great way to get the most out of our natural resources, and our Benchtop or Under Sink System is perfect for keeping it clean. Alternatively, treat all the water before it enters the home with a Rain Water Tank Whole House Water Filters.
If the tank isn’t made from concrete, you may want an Alkaline Water Filter to raise the pH of your water back up to neutral - because rainwater is acidic by nature.
It’s important to get a clear picture of the quality of water living in your tank.
Bore Water
We provide options for Hard Water such as Water Conditioners.
