Enjoy cleaner-tasting water with a filtration system selected for your home, water supply and household needs.
Platinum Plumbers installs whole-house and under-sink water filtration systems across Sydney’s Northern Beaches and North Shore. We provide clear advice, professional installation and practical ongoing maintenance.
Better Water Throughout Your Home
Although Sydney’s mains water is treated, installing an in-home filtration systems helps to reduce the noticeable taste or smell of chlorine, capture sediment or improve the water they use for drinking and cooking.
A properly selected filtration system can help:
Improve the taste and smell of drinking water
Reduce chlorine, sediment and other unwanted material
Provide filtered water directly from the kitchen tap
Filter water throughout the entire property
Reduce reliance on bottled water
Support the performance of compatible fixtures and appliances
The results depend on the filtration technology used. We will help you choose a system based on what you actually want to improve rather than recommending unnecessary equipment.
What About PFAS in Sydney’s Water?
Recent media reporting and a NSW parliamentary inquiry have increased public awareness of PFAS in Sydney’s water catchments.
PFAS are a large group of manufactured chemicals sometimes called “forever chemicals” because they break down very slowly in the environment.
Sydney Water states that its drinking water remains safe and meets the current Australian Drinking Water Guidelines.
For households that would still prefer an additional filtration barrier, it is important to select the right product. Not every household filter is designed or independently certified to reduce PFAS.
Some activated-carbon, ion-exchange and reverse-osmosis systems may reduce certain PFAS when correctly selected, installed and maintained. Product-specific testing and certification should always be checked before making a PFAS reduction claim.
We can help you review suitable filtration options, understand the manufacturer’s performance specifications and choose a system appropriate for your home.
Water Filtration Options
Whole-House Water Filtration
A whole-house system filters water as it enters the property, providing filtered water to multiple taps, showers and appliances.
This option may suit households wanting to reduce sediment, chlorine taste or odour throughout the home rather than only at the kitchen sink.
We assess the available installation space, existing pipework, water pressure and household demand before recommending a suitable system.
Under-Sink Drinking-Water Filtration
An under-sink system provides filtered water at a dedicated kitchen tap or compatible mixer.
It is a compact option for households primarily concerned with the water used for drinking, cooking, tea and coffee.
The appropriate system will depend on your available cupboard space, existing sink configuration and filtration requirements.
Filter Replacement and Maintenance
Filters need to be replaced periodically to continue working effectively. The correct replacement schedule depends on the system, household water use and manufacturer’s instructions.
We can inspect existing filtration equipment, replace compatible cartridges and identify plumbing problems affecting the system.
Which Water Filter Is Right for Your Home?
There is no single filtration system that suits every property.
Before recommending a system, we consider:
Whether you want filtered drinking water or whole-house filtration
The taste, odour or sediment concerns you have noticed
Whether PFAS reduction is a specific priority
The number of people living in the home
Daily water use and required flow rate
Existing water pressure
Available installation space
Filter replacement and maintenance requirements
The manufacturer’s filtration specifications and certifications
This assessment helps ensure the system is appropriately sized and practical to maintain.
Our Water Filtration Installation Process
1. Discuss Your Requirements
We start by understanding what you want to improve and whether you need filtration at one tap or throughout the property.
2. Assess Your Plumbing
We inspect the available space, water-supply connection, pipework and water pressure.
3. Recommend a Suitable System
We explain the available options, what each system is designed to filter and its ongoing maintenance requirements.
If PFAS reduction is a priority, we will review the product’s specific performance claims and available independent certification.
4. Complete the Installation
Our licensed plumber installs the filtration system and any required taps, valves or connections.
5. Test the System
We check the installation, flush the filters where required and confirm that the system is operating correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
That depends on the filtration technology and cartridge used. Different systems are designed to reduce different substances, such as chlorine, sediment, taste and odour.
Check the manufacturer’s specifications and certification for the exact contaminants a system is designed to reduce.
Some filtration systems can reduce certain PFAS, but not every water filter is designed for this purpose.
Look for independent certification that specifically includes a PFAS reduction claim rather than relying on a general filtration claim. NSF advises looking for products certified to NSF/ANSI 53 or NSF/ANSI 58 with a specific PFAS designation.
System selection, correct installation and timely filter replacement all affect performance.
Choose an under-sink system if your main priority is filtered water for drinking and cooking.
Whole-house filtration may be more suitable if you want water filtered before it reaches multiple taps, showers and appliances.
