Whole Home Filtration
Water is used in almost every part of your home, from filling a glass in the kitchen to showering, washing clothes and cleaning. Yet the water coming into your property can contain sediment, sand, dirt, rust, chlorine and other substances that affect its taste, odour and overall quality.
Distillo’s whole house water filtration system provides point-of-entry filtration designed to treat water as it enters your property, before it travels through your household plumbing. Instead of filtering water at just one outlet, the system is designed to provide filtered water throughout the home, including the kitchen, bathroom, laundry and other taps.
A full home water filtration system works differently from a small filter fitted directly to a kitchen tap. The filtration unit is connected to the incoming water supply, allowing water to pass through the filtration system before being distributed around the property.
This makes sense for households that want to address water quality across more than one room. There is no need to think about filtration as something limited to drinking water alone. The same incoming supply serves many everyday activities, so treating it at the entry point provides broader coverage.
Distillo's whole-home system uses 20-inch filter housings and has a nominal flow rate of up to 3400 litres per hour based on 60 psi pressure. The system is designed for residential water supplies within its specified operating conditions.
Different filtration media perform different jobs. Distillo's system is designed to address several common water-quality concerns rather than relying on one filter alone.
Sediment filtration helps reduce sand, dirt, rust, silt and other suspended particles. The system can also help reduce suspended matter such as fine clay and organic material, contributing to clearer water throughout the property.
Carbon filtration helps reduce chlorine and compounds associated with unpleasant taste and odour. This can be particularly noticeable when filtered water is used for drinking, cooking and food preparation.
The filtration system is also designed to reduce certain organic compounds and chemicals, including substances such as detergents, herbicides, insecticides, aromatic solvents and humic substances. Chlorine, amines, phenol and chlorophenols are also listed among the substances addressed by the system.
This combination gives the complete home water filter a practical role in improving the quality of water used around the property.
The concept is straightforward.
Incoming water
Filtration unit
Household plumbing
Kitchen, bathroom, laundry and other taps
By positioning filtration where water enters the home, Distillo treats the incoming supply before it reaches the individual outlets. This point-of-entry arrangement means the filtration isn't restricted to one dedicated tap.
For homeowners considering complete water filtration, it is also a practical way to avoid managing multiple individual filtration units throughout the property.
The system features a durable 304 stainless-steel cover and bracket designed to resist rust and corrosion. It operates at pressures of up to 80 psi, with an operating temperature range of 4–37°C, a feed-water pH range of 4.0–10.0 and maximum feed-water TDS of 2000 ppm.
A full house water filter system becomes particularly useful when you consider how many ways water is used throughout a typical household.
Kitchen: Filtered water can be used for drinking, cooking and food preparation, where taste and odour are particularly noticeable.
Bathroom: The system supplies filtered water to showers, baths and bathroom taps as part of the household water supply.
Laundry: Filtered water can also reach laundry outlets, making the system relevant beyond drinking-water use.
Other taps around the property can also receive water from the same point-of-entry filtration setup.
The result is a more comprehensive approach than installing a small filter solely where drinking water is collected.
There is no single reason every homeowner chooses whole-home filtration. For some, it is primarily about improving taste and odour. Others are looking for a way to reduce sediment and chlorine across the property rather than at one outlet.
A whole house filtration system can also make everyday water management simpler. Instead of maintaining separate filtration devices in different areas, the property can have one central filtration point.
Reducing sediment such as sand, dirt and rust can also help keep unwanted particles out of the household water supply. Meanwhile, carbon filtration helps address chlorine, taste and odour.
The system is therefore designed around a simple principle:
When choosing a whole house water filter in Australia, product specifications and certification matter alongside filtration performance.
Distillo's whole-home filtration product is presented as WaterMark certified for Australian standards. The system has defined operating limits and dimensions, making it important to assess the home's incoming water conditions and available installation space before installation.
The main advantage of an entire home water filtration system is its coverage.
Rather than treating water only when it reaches a particular tap, filtration takes place before the water enters the home's distribution network. That makes the approach suitable for households that want filtered water available across multiple areas.
It also means the system can become part of the home's overall plumbing setup rather than another appliance that needs to be operated independently.
For homeowners researching in line water filtration systems for home, the point-of-entry configuration offers a straightforward way to incorporate filtration into the incoming water supply.
Like any filtration equipment, the system needs regular maintenance and filter replacement to continue operating as intended.
Distillo specifies an approximate sediment filter life of 6–12 months, although actual replacement intervals depend on feed-water quality and household use. Homes with higher levels of sediment may require more frequent attention.
Regular replacement also provides an opportunity to check the system, connections and filter housings. The goal is not simply to install the equipment and forget about it, but to keep the filtration system operating appropriately over time.
A good filtration solution should match the water entering your property and the way your household uses it. The home's water conditions, available space, pressure and filtration requirements all need to be considered.
It is also important to understand the difference between Distillo's whole home filtration system and its five-stage reverse osmosis system. While both are designed to improve water quality, they serve different purposes.
| Feature | Whole-Home Filtration | 5-Stage RO Filtration |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Point-of-entry | Point-of-use |
| Coverage | Water throughout the home | Dedicated filtered drinking water |
| Filtration stages | Whole-home filtration | Sediment, GAC carbon, CTO carbon, RO membrane and post-carbon/mineral filtration |
| Primary use | Kitchen, bathroom, laundry and other household outlets | Drinking and cooking |
| RO membrane | No | Yes |
| Standard capacity | 3400 LPH nominal flow rate at 60 psi | 50 GPD / 189 L per day |
| Available RO capacities | — | 75 GPD and 100 GPD options |
| Best suited for | Households wanting filtration across multiple water outlets | Households wanting more intensive filtration for dedicated drinking water |
For homeowners looking for filtration throughout their property, a whole-home system provides a point-of-entry solution. If the priority is more intensive filtration for drinking and cooking water at a dedicated outlet, the five-stage RO system serves a different purpose.
Choosing a whole house filter system is about more than simply putting a filter on the water line. Distillo combines practical whole-home coverage with robust construction and filtration designed around the things homeowners notice in their everyday water.
Rather than relying on separate filters for individual outlets, Distillo's point-of-entry design provides a central filtration solution for water used throughout the home.
The filtration system helps reduce sediment, sand, dirt, rust, chlorine, unpleasant taste and odour, as well as certain organic compounds and chemicals.
The system is designed specifically for whole-home residential filtration, with a 3400 LPH nominal flow rate based on 60 psi pressure, helping support everyday household water use.
The filtration unit features a 304 stainless-steel cover and bracket, providing a strong and corrosion-resistant housing for the filtration components.
Distillo's whole-home filtration system is WaterMark certified, providing an important consideration for Australian homeowners choosing a residential water filtration solution.
From improving the taste and odour of drinking and cooking water to reducing sediment throughout the household supply, Distillo is designed to make filtration part of everyday home water use.
For homeowners who want more than filtered water at a single tap, Distillo offers a practical whole-home approach - bringing filtration to the water supply before it reaches the rest of the house.
A full house water filtration system treats water at the point where it enters the property, allowing filtered water to reach multiple outlets throughout the home. A point-of-use filter, by comparison, is installed at a specific tap or outlet and only treats the water used there.
A whole home filtration system can help reduce sediment such as sand, dirt, rust and silt, along with chlorine, unpleasant taste and odour. Distillo's system is also designed to reduce certain organic compounds and chemicals.
Yes. A whole home water filter is connected to the incoming water supply, so filtered water can be distributed through the home's plumbing to areas including the kitchen, bathroom, laundry and other household outlets.
Distillo's whole house water filter solution in Australia is designed for residential use and is WaterMark certified for Australian standards. The system also has defined operating specifications for pressure, temperature, pH and TDS.
Filter replacement depends on water quality and household usage. Distillo's sediment filter has an approximate service life of 6–12 months, although homes with higher sediment levels may require more frequent replacement.
A whole house filter systems setup provides filtration at the point of entry for use throughout the property, while Distillo's five-stage RO system is a point-of-use solution for more intensive filtration of dedicated drinking and cooking water.
A whole of house water filter systems approach can provide filtration from one central point before water is distributed around the property. This means homeowners don't need to rely solely on separate filtration units at individual outlets.
The right complete water filter system depends on your incoming water conditions, household requirements, available installation space and the type of filtration you need. Distillo offers both whole-home filtration and five-stage RO filtration, so the appropriate option depends on whether you want filtration throughout the property or dedicated drinking-water filtration.
