What exactly is a whole-home water filtration system—and why do Hawke’s Bay locals need one?
When your home’s or business’s water enters through the main supply line, a whole-home water filtration system filters every drop. That means you enjoy fresh filtered water from the shower to the washing machine to the kitchen tap.
Puretec systems like the FilterWall F Series and WH2 Series are installed at the point that mains water enters your property. So every tap, appliance, and pipe already benefits from purified water.
Read on to find out about the benefits of whole home water filtration systems.
“Why should I consider whole-home filtration instead of just a filtered jug or undersink filter?”
A filtered jug or under-sink filter lets you enjoy clean drinking water – but it doesn’t filter the water you use in showers, laundry, or household appliances. A whole-home filtration system:
- Removes chlorine, sediment, PFAS, and other contaminants from every tap
- Saves on bottled water costs and reduces plastic waste
- Can extends the lifespan of appliances, hot water cylinders, and plumbing, by preventing sediment and scale build-up.
“How does whole-home water filtration benefit my hair, skin, and clothes?”
Hard chlorine-filled water can strip moisture from skin and hair, might worsen conditions like eczema or dandruff, and could cause hair-colour fading. Puretec systems – like the FilterWall – reduce chlorine by up to 98%, resulting in the potential for softer skin, shinier hair, and longer-lasting clothing colours.
“There’s a ton of water filtration systems out there – what makes Puretec stand out for Hawke’s Bay residents?”
Puretec’s FilterWall F Series offers:
- A sleek design available in designer colours, perfect for homes and businesses alike
- Multi-stage filtration reducing PFAS, chlorine, sediment—and even scale with Select models like the F6 MB
- Long-lasting durability with a 10-year warranty.
The WH2 Series (e.g., WH2-60) delivers strong, budget-friendly filtration:
- Dual-stage removal of fines, chlorine, PFAS, and odour
- High flow rates suitable for homes and small businesses—up to 60 L/min
- No moving parts, low maintenance, and a solid warranty.
“Does whole-home filtration help with environmental and cost concerns?”
Absolutely. Installing a robust filtration system:
- Can help your household to move away from a reliance on bottled water – cutting plastic waste and costs
- Protects appliances from damaging sediment and scaling, which can save on repairs and early replacements
- Encourages healthier hydration by making tap water taste cleaner.
“What about tougher contaminants like PFAS, fluoride, or heavy metals?”
Puretec’s FilterWall F5 is a strong starting point – it’s designed to absorb PFAS using activated carbon at the point of entry. For additional protection, pair it with an under-sink RO270 Reverse Osmosis system for ultra-fine removal including even fluoride and heavy metals.
“What size or model do I need for my property?”
Here’s a quick guide based on property size and needs:
† The Hybrid E Series is a rainwater solution combining UV sterilisation and filtration—great for rural businesses relying on rain collection. It kills up to 99.99% of bacteria while filtering sediment, odour, and chemicals.
