Where This Filter Set Sits in the System
This premium three-stage set is designed as a complete whole-house filtration solution, providing progressive treatment across multiple filtration stages.
Stage 1 removes sediment and particulate matter to protect downstream filters
Stage 2 targets chlorine, chloramine, PFAS, VOCs, and chemical contaminants
Stage 3 provides ultra-fine polishing to improve clarity and overall water quality
Together, the system delivers balanced filtration performance without compromising household flow rates.
What This System Removes
This three-stage filtration set is designed to reduce:
Sediment, rust, dirt, and particulate matter
Chlorine and chemical tastes and odours
Chloramine and associated by-products
PFAS and other persistent organic compounds
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Fine particulates down to 0.22 micron
Each stage is engineered to handle a specific role, ensuring efficient contaminant reduction and extended filter life.
-
This pack includes three 20” × 4.5” cartridges designed to work together as a progressive system:
1 micron antibacterial sediment filter (nano silver) for rust, dirt and particulate protection
0.5 micron catalytic carbon block designed for PFAS + chloramine reduction plus chlorine, VOCs and chemical tastes
0.22 micron Hydrotech polishing filter for final-stage clarity and fine particulate removal
Together, they restore your full premium system performance in one changeover.
-
Most households replace the full set every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage. Replace sooner if you notice any of the following:
Water pressure gradually dropping across the home
Chlorine/chemical taste or odour returning
Filters discolouring quickly (high sediment load)
If your supply has higher sediment or stronger disinfectant levels, replacement intervals can shorten.
-
When installed in a correctly sized 20” × 4.5” whole-house housing and replaced on time, pressure drop is typically minimal and unnoticeable. The most common cause of reduced pressure is Stage 1 loading up with sediment — which is doing its job. If pressure drops noticeably, it’s usually a sign the filters are due for replacement rather than the system being “too restrictive”.
-
This set suits standard 20” × 4.5” Big Blue-style housings only. If you’re unsure, measure the cartridge currently installed — these are the large format “whole house” cartridges, not the smaller 10” slimline type. Some filtration systems also use a proprietary 15” filter. If you send us a photo of your housing or existing filter label, we can confirm compatibility before you order.
-
Yes. This premium pack is designed specifically for mains/town water supplies, where disinfectants (chlorine/chloramine), chemical by-products, and emerging contaminants (including PFAS) are the main concerns. It’s the “upgrade” option for customers who want broader chemical reduction beyond standard chlorine taste & odour filtration.
When to Replace
Replacement intervals depend on incoming water quality and household usage.
General guidance:
Replace all stages approximately every 6–12 months
Replace sooner if you notice:
Reduced water flow
Return of chlorine or chemical taste
Visible sediment or discolouration
Regular replacement ensures optimal filtration performance and protects plumbing fixtures and appliances.
Compatibility Note
This filter set is designed for standard 20” x 4.5” (Big Blue) whole house filter housings only.
❌ Not compatible with slimline 10” systems or smaller 15” proprietary sized systems.
❌ Not suitable for undersink or benchtop filters
Please confirm housing size before purchase.
