Water Filters Perth: Clean, Great Tasting Water for Every WA Home
Perth residents know better than most that tap water quality varies enormously depending on where you live and the time of year. Western Australia’s water treatment processes do an important job of making tap water safe to drink, but safe and great tasting are two very different things. If you have ever noticed a strong chlorine smell when you fill a glass of water or found that your drinking water tastes flat or chemically, you are not alone. It is one of the most common reasons Perth households come to us at Armour Water.
We are Perth’s trusted supplier and installer of premium water filters for homes and businesses across the metro area. From under sink units and reverse osmosis systems through to whole house filtration and water softeners, we have the right solution for every property type, every budget, and every water quality concern. Our team of licensed technicians is Perth based, locally experienced, and genuinely passionate about delivering clean water to every household we serve.
Whether you are in Fremantle, Joondalup, Rockingham, or anywhere in between, Armour Water is ready to assess your water, recommend the right filter systems, and install everything to the highest standard. Getting started is easy. Contact our Perth team today for a free consultation and water quality assessment.
Understanding Perth's Tap Water Quality
Perth’s drinking water is sourced from a combination of surface water catchments, groundwater bore field systems, and two desalination plants. The Water Corporation treats this supply to meet national health standards, which means it is technically safe to consume. However, the treatment process itself introduces compounds that many Perth residents find unpleasant, particularly chlorine and chloramines, which are used to disinfect water as it travels through the distribution network.
Perth water is also known for its hardness in certain areas. Hard water contains elevated levels of calcium and magnesium, which leave white scale deposits on taps, showerheads, appliances, and glassware. Over time, hard water causes scale build up inside hot water units, dishwashers, and washing machines, reducing their efficiency and shortening their lifespan. This is why water softeners are a popular addition to Perth house filtration setups, particularly in suburbs drawing predominantly from groundwater sources.
Sediment from ageing pipes and heavy metals, including lead and copper, can also be present in Perth’s reticulated water supply, especially in older residential areas where the pipe network has not been fully upgraded. A quality water filtration system addresses all of these concerns at once, giving your family access to genuinely clean water at every tap.
Our Range of Water Filter Systems for Perth Homes
Whole House Water Filtration Systems
A whole house water filtration system is installed at the point where your mains supply enters the property, treating all the water that flows to every tap, shower, appliance, and outlet in your home. This is the most comprehensive approach to home water quality improvement available, and it is increasingly popular with Perth families who want protection that goes beyond the kitchen tap.
Our whole house filtration system range uses multi stage filtration combining sediment removal, activated carbon, and KDF media to tackle chlorine, heavy metals, sediment, and taste and odour issues simultaneously. The result is noticeably better water quality throughout your home, from your morning shower to your evening glass of drinking water. These filter systems also protect your appliances from scale and corrosion, saving you money on repairs and replacements over the long term.
Reverse Osmosis Under Sink Filter Systems
For Perth households that want the highest possible standard of drinking water at the kitchen tap, our reverse osmosis under sink systems are the gold standard. Using a semi permeable membrane that filters contaminants down to 0.0001 microns, these filter systems remove up to 99 per cent of dissolved impurities, including fluoride, nitrates, heavy metals, chlorine, and PFAS chemicals. The purified water is delivered through a dedicated tap on your bench or sink, separate from your standard supply.
A reverse osmosis system is particularly well suited to Perth homes where drinking water taste and chemical content are the primary concerns. Our Perth customers consistently report that the improvement in taste is immediately obvious after installation. Families who previously relied on plastic bottles for their daily drinking water find that a high quality under sink water filter system eliminates the need entirely, saving money and reducing plastic waste.
Home Water Filters for Apartments and Rentals
For apartment dwellers or renters who want better water quality without major plumbing work, we offer a range of compact home water filters that connect easily to existing fixtures. These include countertop units, benchtop filters, and inline options that can be installed and removed without any permanent modifications to the property.
These compact home water solutions are ideal for Perth renters who are tired of buying plastic bottles or relying on pitcher filters that need constant refilling. They deliver genuinely filtered water from a convenient outlet, and most models are simple enough to set up without a technician. If you are unsure what will work in your space, our Perth team is happy to visit and advise on the most practical option for your situation.
Water Softeners for Perth's Hard Water Areas
Hard water is a real and ongoing issue for many Perth households. If you notice white scale deposits on your taps and showerheads, cloudy glassware from the dishwasher, or a film on your skin after showering, hard water is almost certainly the cause. Our water softeners are designed specifically to address this, either as standalone units or as part of a broader house water filtration setup.
We offer both traditional salt based softeners and salt free water conditioning systems, depending on your preferences and the specific hardness level of your supply. Our Perth team can test your water hardness on site and recommend the most effective and cost efficient approach. When combined with a high quality house filtration system, water softeners deliver a complete solution that improves water quality throughout your home.

We work across all property types, including houses, townhouses, apartments, and commercial premises, and we cover the full Perth metro area from the northern suburbs through to Rockingham and Mandurah in the south.

The Real Benefits of Home Water Filtration for Perth Families
The benefits of having a quality house water filtration system in your Perth home extend well beyond better tasting water. Here is what our customers tell us they notice most after installation.
First and most immediately: better taste. Perth tap water treated with chlorine and chloramines often has a noticeable chemical flavour that makes it unpleasant to drink straight from the tap. Once your filtration system is installed, the difference is immediate and obvious. Water tastes clean, fresh, and neutral, the way drinking water should. Many families who had become completely dependent on plastic bottles for daily drinking stop buying them entirely within the first week.
Second: appliance protection. The scale and mineral buildup that Perth’s harder water causes in hot water units, dishwashers, and washing machines quietly reduces their efficiency and shortens their lifespan. A high quality water filter or softener protects these investments, reduces energy consumption, and means fewer service calls and fewer appliance replacements over time.
Third: environmental impact. Every Perth household that stops buying plastic bottles and switches to filtered tap water makes a meaningful contribution to reducing plastic waste. A single household can eliminate hundreds of single use plastic bottles every year simply by investing in a high quality home filtration system. That is better for your budget and better for the environment.
Finally: peace of mind. When your filtration system is installed and running properly, you know that every glass of water your family drinks has been treated by a proven filter system designed to remove the contaminants that matter. That confidence is something our customers tell us they value enormously, and we take great pride in delivering it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Filters in Perth
Perth's water supply is unique in Australia for a few reasons. The city draws water from a combination of surface catchments in the Darling Range, groundwater borefield systems, and two major desalination plants that now supply a significant proportion of the city's needs. This blended supply means the water chemistry can vary depending on the season, your location, and which part of the distribution network you are connected to.
One of the most cited characteristics of Perth tap water is its hardness. Many Perth suburbs, particularly those drawing from groundwater borefields, have significantly harder water than other Australian capital cities. This leads to the scale deposits and appliance damage that frustrate so many WA homeowners. Perth water also tends to carry a more pronounced chlorine and chloramine taste than many other cities because of the additional disinfection required across the large distribution network. A quality water filter system addresses both issues effectively. Whether you opt for a whole house filtration setup or a targeted under sink water filtration system, the improvement in taste, smell, and overall water quality is something most Perth customers notice almost immediately after having their filtration system installed.
This depends on the hardness level of the water at your specific Perth address. Not all Perth suburbs have equally hard water. Suburbs drawing predominantly from surface water catchments in the hills tend to have softer water, while those drawing from groundwater borefields in the coastal plain often have significantly harder water. The simplest way to find out is to have your water tested, which our Perth team can do on site.
If your water hardness is high, a water softeners unit is a worthwhile addition to your house water filtration setup. It conditions the calcium and magnesium ions in the water so they do not form scale deposits in your pipes, appliances, and hot water system. Many Perth customers choose to pair water softeners with a whole house filtration system for comprehensive protection. Others opt for a dedicated house water filtration system with a built in softening stage. Either way, our filter systems are designed to be flexible enough to meet your specific water quality needs without unnecessary complexity or cost.
For most residential installations in Perth, our licensed technicians can complete the job in a single visit. A standard under sink water filter system installation typically takes two to three hours, while a whole house water filtration system installation generally takes three to five hours ,depending on the complexity of your plumbing setup and the number of filter stages being installed.
We cover the full Perth metro area and aim to offer flexible booking times including weekday and weekend appointments to suit your schedule. Once the booking is confirmed, our technicians arrive with all the equipment and fittings needed to complete the job in one visit. We test the system thoroughly before leaving and walk you through the operation and maintenance requirements, so you feel confident from day one. Having a filtration system installed by a licensed professional also gives you peace of mind that the work meets Australian plumbing standards and that your product warranty is fully protected. Getting quality home water filters up and running in your Perth home is genuinely straightforward when you work with the right team.
Absolutely. The chlorine and chloramine smell that many Perth residents notice in their tap water is one of the most reliably addressed issues by a quality home water filtration setup. Activated carbon filtration, included in virtually all of our filter systems, is highly effective at removing both chlorine and chloramines, as well as the compounds responsible for earthy or musty odours that occasionally appear in Perth's treated water supply.
A whole house filters system with a carbon stage will improve the smell of water at every outlet in your home, including the shower and laundry, not just the kitchen tap. If odour at the drinking tap is your primary concern, an under sink carbon block or reverse osmosis system will deliver even more targeted results. Most Perth customers are genuinely surprised by how significant the improvement is after installation. The chlorine smell that seemed impossible to get used to simply disappears, and water that was previously unpleasant to drink becomes something the whole family enjoys. Combined with the removal of heavy metals and other dissolved contaminants, the overall drinking water experience is transformed.
The cost of a house water filter or home water filters setup in Perth varies depending on the type of system, the number of filtration stages, and the complexity of your installation. Entry level under sink carbon filter systems start at a very accessible price point and offer excellent value for households primarily looking to improve the taste and smell of drinking water. Mid range under sink reverse osmosis systems offer higher filtration and suit households with more specific water quality concerns.
Whole house water filtration systems represent a larger upfront investment but deliver benefits across every outlet in the home, including appliance protection, skin and hair improvements, and whole of home water quality upgrades. When you factor in the savings from eliminating plastic bottles, reduced appliance maintenance costs, and longer appliance lifespan, most customers find that a quality house filtration system pays for itself within a reasonable timeframe. Our Perth team provides clear, transparent pricing with no hidden costs, and we offer a range of options to suit different budgets.
