Just got an email about this.
Was $1900 now $1700
System supplied cartridges
They said they can refer to a local plumber, yiu need to pay to install it.
Whats the yearly cost after initial cost?
It depends what filter combo you choose but it would range between $200-300 a year. I would also be factoring if it is a small or large household for annual water usage and how contaminated the water is.
So many factors, but lets say you choose to replace all 3 filters
Stage 1- 1 micron polyspun $60
Stage 2- Coconut Carbon Refillable $40
Stage 3- Aragon $275
Total = $375
Does it reduce the flow? I can't speed any flow specification.
It'll definitely reduce flow. Ours reduces the flow substantially.
Of course, there will always be a flow drop.
Looking at the other whole house systems it mentions a 5psi drop @ 20L/m.
For off the shelf replaceability, the 20” x 4.5” filters seems the most common size to keep the flow rate up.
A 10” x 2.5” filter will perform worse.

Strikes me as you are paying a lot for the fancy stainless steel housing.
I have been buying from Clarence Water filters over many years:

How often are you replacing these filters?
Is this system needed in Melbourne where the water tastes fine from the tap?
I've got the same questions :)
Also, do you know if we can buy 3rd party filters? Don't really want to be locked to a provider, which seems to be the MO for most of these installers.
I am from Melb as well. One thing I notice quickly is the chlorine. If you're used to filtered water, the normal tap water tastes like drinking swimming pool water.
I use Clarence Water Filter products too
Melbourne used to be great but now tastes like chlorine.
You will be amazed at the sediment that is caught.
Filter change for me is every 6 months.
Buy a std filter size and you have a world of filter options at all price points and qualities. Want a long life filter then buy a Dalton ceramic, clean it and reinstall.
That, the 10 year warranty and specifically the Aragon filter.
There’s some cheaper options here:
I've had a similar system installed recently, make sure to get quotes from small licensed plumbers in your area.
Got quotes ranging from $200-$2000. If anyone in SE QLD needs one installed I can provide the details of the guys that did mine. It was about $200 for labour + parts or you can supply your own parts.
Im Interested in what you got and paid for for your setup. What’s your opinion on buying this vs their supplied one?.
In Brisbane.
please message me with details.
I know a great plumber in the Tweed area who installed mine.
paulsplumbing.com.au was the mob I used.
Funny thing we need in Australia where water should be fine I live in Mount Barker tap water tastes great
I think you're misunderstanding this. Drinkable isn't the only reason.
$1700 for 3 filters?
hows this a deal wtf
It's not. A blow on your wallet though.
Good thing this deal is for more than 3 filters
What is the rough cost to have it installed by plumber? I have ask 2 quotes and told it would cost me from 1.5K to install. I have a feeling they don't want the job
Complexity is the question. Have an easy access water line coming in with suitable mounting surface then a couple of hours.
Do you need whole of house or just the kitchen (I have a twin filter system externally fitted just for the kitchen which goes through a duplicate twin filter at the back of the fridge/freezer because it cost me very little and was an easy access self install)?
Good question. The quotes were for installing the water filter to the pipe line straight after the water meter so i guessing this would be for the whole house including flow reduction.
Do they install it is well, melb?
