Water Filtration System and Installation Toowong

 

We at PBS Plumbing believe that all of our clients deserve clean, crystal clear, fresh-smelling water without being concerned. PBS Plumbing has established itself as a reliable provider of quality water filtration systems for homes in Toowong. Our first step in our process is to evaluate the quality of the water coming into your home. We evaluate the water based on taste, hardness, as well as how water is impacting your plumbing fixtures and water-using appliances. Once we have completed this assessment, we design a filtration system that meets the needs of your home.

Once your filtration system is installed, we will thoroughly explain how the system operates and will provide you with ongoing maintenance services, eliminating your need to remember when to change your filters. The quality of your water will be closely monitored throughout the life of the system and the filters will be replaced before they are worn out. By having your water filtration system installed by licensed master plumbers and using components specifically designed for Australian homes, you can be assured that you will have long-term access to quality, clean, fresh-smelling water without having to constantly worry about it.

Twin vs Triple Filter System

Individuals on mains water usually don’t get much visible sediment (compared to individuals relying on tank water, for example); however, ultra-fine particles (i.e., particles that are smaller than 100 micron, the width of a human hair) can clog up carbon filters much quicker than anticipated and reduce water pressure. The issue of elevated sediment is especially prevalent in areas with known water quality issues or an influx of sediment; for example, due to public works, flooding, and drought, which are all common causes of elevated total suspended solids levels in mains water. So, whilst carbon filters do block sediment and it is possible to run a dual carbon system, consider whether a triple filter system with a sediment pre-filter and dual carbon set-up is more suitable.

Dual Carbon
Dual carbon will give the best result for reducing the maximum amount of chemicals on a whole house scale on mains water. The combination of filters we most commonly recommend is the maximum chemical reduction combination, which consists of:

Filter 1: 5 Micron sediment filter
Filter 2: 20 Micron low pressure drop coconut carbon – reduces chlorine without compromising on water pressure
Filter 3: Your choice of carbon block:
0.5 Micron chloramine reduction coconut carbon – composed of catalytic carbon, which has exceptional adsorption abilities (and can help to reduce chloramine, unlike standard activated carbon, which requires a longer contact time to reduce this chemical)
0.5 Micron lead (heavy metals) reduction coconut carbon – if you don’t get chloramine in your water source, consider this cartridge for the added benefit of reduced lead and other heavy metals

3-Stage Water Filtration System

The most popular filtration system for homes in Toowong is a 3-Stage Filtration System. This system is specifically designed to purify the water in your home from all of the contaminants that are commonly found in the tap water in Brisbane. The 3-Stage Filtration System removes sediments, chlorine tastes and odours, as well as heavy metals.

Stage 1: Sediment Filter

A sediment filter is responsible for trapping any sand, silt, rust or any fine particles. The sediment filter protects your internal plumbing and ensures that your water-using appliances do not prematurely age from the buildup of deposits from the sediment.

Stage 2: Water Softener

Water that contains calcium and magnesium is hard on pipes and appliances by leaving behind deposits (known as scale). In addition to protecting your plumbing and appliances from scale buildup, a water softener makes your glassware clearer and enhances the feel of the water on your skin and hair.

Stage 3: KDF/GAC Filter

Granulated activated carbon (GAC) and Kinetic Degradation Fluxion (KDF) combined will remove heavy metals, reduce bacteria, and remove chlorine and organic compounds from your tap water and will improve the taste and odour of your water. Both whole-house filtration systems as well as under-sink filtration systems fit within Stage 3.
