Is Your Home's Water Safe?
Most people don't think about what's in their water until something tastes or smells off. Here's what you need to know about water quality and filtration options for your home.
What's Actually in Your Tap Water?
Sunshine Coast tap water is treated by Unitywater before it reaches your home. The treatment process removes harmful pathogens and meets Australian Drinking Water Guidelines. However, by the time water travels through the distribution network and your home's plumbing, it may carry traces of chlorine, sediment, and in some cases dissolved minerals.
Under Sink Water Filtration: Targeted and Compact
An under sink water filtration system is installed at a specific tap — typically your kitchen sink — and provides filtered water on demand. These systems are compact, relatively simple to install, and effective at improving taste and reducing chlorine and sediment at the point you use water most for drinking and cooking.
Whole House Filtration: Full Coverage
A whole house water filtration system is installed at the point where the main water supply enters your property. Every tap, shower, and appliance in your home then receives filtered water. This option is particularly valuable if you're concerned about sediment affecting appliances like washing machines and dishwashers.
Water Treatment for Specific Concerns
Some properties — particularly those on tank water or with older pipework — may have specific water quality concerns such as elevated iron, hardness, or bacterial contamination. Water treatment systems can be configured to address these issues directly.
