The Aqua-Plus whole-home system filters sediment, chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants at the mains — delivering purified water to every outlet in your home, 24/7. Professionally installed by All Electric Homes.
Australian town water is safe to drink under current standards — but "safe" doesn't mean "clean". Treated municipal water commonly contains residuals that affect taste, odour, and long-term household infrastructure.
Chlorine and chloramines used in water treatment are effective disinfectants — but they react with organic matter in pipes to form trihalomethanes (THMs). Filtration at the mains removes these byproducts before they reach your taps, appliances, and skin.
Chlorinated water strips natural skin oils and can worsen conditions like eczema and dry scalp. Filtered water is noticeably softer in the shower.
Chlorine taste and "off" odours in tap water affect coffee, cooking water, and drinking. Filtered water is clean and neutral — the way water should taste.
Sediment and scale from unfiltered water accumulate in hot water systems, dishwashers, and washing machines — accelerating wear and reducing efficiency.
The Aqua-Plus system is installed at your water mains — every tap, shower, appliance, and hose in the home receives filtered water. No separate under-sink units needed.
Whole-home vs. point-of-use: Under-sink filters only treat water at one tap. The Aqua-Plus system treats all water at entry — protecting your plumbing, appliances, hot water system, showers, and laundry simultaneously. One installation. Zero compromises.
All Electric Homes installs Aqua-Plus systems using licensed plumbers — fully compliant with Australian plumbing standards. Here's what to expect on installation day.
Your installer surveys the mains inlet, available space for the filter housing, and your existing plumbing configuration. Takes 15–20 minutes. We confirm the best install location and identify any preparatory work required.
Water is temporarily isolated while we install the filter housing inline with your mains. A bypass valve is fitted — allowing future filter changes without water interruption. Typical isolation time is under 2 hours.
All five filter cartridges are installed in sequence. The system is flushed for 10 minutes to clear any installation residuals, and water quality is tested at the tap to confirm filtration is operating correctly.
We walk you through the bypass valve, filter indicator gauge, and annual service schedule. You receive a compliance certificate and filter replacement reminder service (optional). Most installs are complete within a half-day.
Compare the Aqua-Plus whole-home system against common alternatives — pitcher filters, under-sink units, and shower head filters.

Heat pump hot water systems, electric appliances, and induction cooktops perform best with clean, scale-free water. Protecting your water quality protects your investment in electrification.
Heat pump systems are highly efficient — but scale from hard, unfiltered water reduces heat exchanger performance and can void warranty. The Aqua-Plus scale inhibitor stage keeps your heat pump operating at peak efficiency.
Filtered water reduces detergent usage in dishwashers and washing machines, eliminates mineral spots on glassware, and prevents internal scale build-up that shortens appliance life.
Cooking and drinking water free from chlorine taste means better flavour in everything from pasta to coffee. No chemical aftertaste in boiling water, ice, or cold-filtered water.
Sediment and scale accumulate in pipes, pressure-reduction valves, and fixtures over years. Whole-home filtration upstream of all pipework reduces maintenance, extends tap and valve life, and keeps water pressure consistent.
The Aqua-Plus is designed for Australian residential water supply conditions — tested against ADWG (Australian Drinking Water Guidelines) contaminant benchmarks.
