Whole Home Water Filtration in Bayside Melbourne
One system at the water main, so every tap in the house runs filtered. $2,999 fully installed by a licensed plumber, certificate of compliance included. We fit what we would put in our own home, and right now that is BWT.
Whole home filtration, fitted where the water main enters your property, so the kitchen, the shower, the bath, the laundry and the garden tap all run through the one system. Installed across bayside Melbourne by a licensed Victorian plumber for $2,999, certificate of compliance included. It starts with a free in-home water consultation.

Where does bayside Melbourne’s water come from?
South East Water. Bayside suburbs sit on the coastal western edge of that network, and the water arrives treated, disinfected and safe to drink.
South East Water supplies roughly 1.8 million people, from Port Melbourne down to Portsea. Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham, Beaumaris and their neighbours sit along the western, coastal side of that system. Mains water is treated and disinfected to Australian standards before it reaches your property, which is why a filtration system here is not a safety purchase.
Who supplies bayside Melbourne?
South East Water, the same retailer that supplies the suburbs further inland. It serves roughly 1.8 million people, from Port Melbourne to Portsea.
Where does bayside sit on that network?
On the coastal western edge of it. Brighton, Brighton East, Bentleigh East, Hampton, Sandringham, Black Rock, Beaumaris, Mentone, Cheltenham, Highett and Moorabbin are all on the same supply.
So what does a system actually change?
Taste, the chlorine smell, and the quality of the water at every outlet rather than one. It is not about making safe water safer, and we will not sell it that way.

What changes once it is installed?
The difference turns up wherever you use water, because every tap in the house runs off the one filtered main.
Drinking water at every tap
The chlorine tang comes out of drinking water at every tap in the house, not just the one you fitted a filter to.
The bathroom and the bath
The pool smell that comes up in the steam runs off the same main, so it is reduced at the shower rose and the bath as well.
Tea, coffee and cooking
Tea, coffee and stock all taste of the water they are made with. Take the chlorine out and what is left is the ingredient.
Appliances and fixtures
Sediment is caught at the main, before it reaches a washing machine, a mixer cartridge or a shower rose.
Fitted by a licensed plumber, with a certificate of compliance. The same price in every bayside suburb we cover, and no subscriptions.
Cartridges are the only ongoing cost, changed at least every 12 months. And if a whole home system is not the right fit for your property, we will say so at the consultation. See what the $2,999 covers.

Not sure you need a whole home system?
If you rent, or it is only the kitchen tap that bothers you, something smaller may do the job. We have written up the seven situations we hear most, and three of them end with us telling you to buy nothing at all.
Common questions
Is bayside Melbourne tap water safe to drink?
Yes. Bayside Melbourne is supplied by South East Water, and mains water is treated and disinfected to Australian standards before it reaches your property.
A filtration system here is about taste, the chlorine smell and quality at every outlet, not about safety.
Which bayside suburbs do you install in?
Brighton, Brighton East, Bentleigh East, Hampton, Sandringham, Black Rock, Beaumaris, Mentone, Cheltenham, Highett and Moorabbin.
Our coverage is wider than the list. If your suburb is not shown, call 0401 157 497 and we will confirm on the spot.
How much does whole home water filtration cost in bayside Melbourne?
$2,999 fully installed, including GST and a certificate of compliance.
The same price in every bayside suburb we cover, and it does not change once the work starts. Replacement cartridges are the only ongoing cost.
Does it filter every tap, or just the kitchen?
Every tap. The system is fitted where the water main enters your property, so the kitchen, the bathroom, the shower, the laundry and the garden tap all run through it.
An under sink unit covers one tap only.
Do I need approval, and do I get a certificate of compliance?
Work on a property’s drinking water supply is licensed plumbing work in Victoria, so it has to be carried out by a licensed plumber. You receive a certificate of compliance for the work.
If you rent, you need the owner’s approval, because the system is plumbed into the property’s main and stays with the house.
