Chloramine/Chlorine Water Filters for Sydney Homes
Sydneyβs town water is treated with disinfectants such as chlorine and chloramine to eliminate bacteria, but these chemicals can create unwanted side effects. Many households experience issues such as strong odours, unpleasant taste, dry skin, and irritation after showering. A high-quality chlorine water filter helps remove these chemical residues while keeping beneficial minerals intact, giving your home fresher, cleaner, and more comfortable water.
At Full House Water Filtration, we install advanced chlorine and chloramine water filter systems designed specifically for residential properties. Our filters improve the taste, feel, and safety of your water, making everyday tasks from drinking to showering much more enjoyable.
Why Chlorine & Chloramine Are a Problem
While these disinfectants are important for public health, they can affect your home in various ways. Chlorine vapours, for example, become stronger during hot showers, which may irritate skin, eyes, and airways. Chloramine, a more stable chemical, is harder to remove without a specialised system.
A professionally installed chloramine filter can significantly reduce these issues and enhance water quality across the entire home.
Chlorine Water Filters
Chlorine is commonly added to Sydneyβs town water supply to kill bacteria and protect public health. While effective for disinfection, it can create several issues for homeowners, especially when used daily in cooking, drinking, and showering. A chlorine water filter helps remove this chemical, leaving your household water fresher, softer, and more pleasant to use.
How a Chlorine Water Filter Works
A chlorine filtration system uses activated carbon or catalytic carbon to capture chlorine molecules before they reach your taps. This reduces chemical odours and improves the overall quality of your water.
Key Benefits
- Eliminates the strong chemical smell and taste
- Helps reduce dry skin and brittle hair caused by chlorine exposure
- Improves the flavour of drinking and cooking water
- Reduces chlorine vapour in hot showers, making breathing easier
- Keeps beneficial minerals in the water while filtering out harsh chemicals
A chlorine filter is an excellent option for Sydney homes that want better-tasting water and a more comfortable daily washing experience.
Chloramine Water Filters
Chloramine is a more stable disinfectant made by combining chlorine with ammonia. Many water authorities across Australia now use it because it lasts longer in the water system. Unfortunately, chloramine is more difficult to remove and may cause skin irritation, respiratory discomfort, or unpleasant odours in tap water.
A chloramine water filter is specifically engineered to break down and remove this stubborn chemical, offering significantly improved water quality throughout the home.
How a Chloramine Filter Works
Standard filters cannot remove chloramine effectively. A specialised system using catalytic carbon, high-capacity cartridges, or advanced adsorption media is required.
Key Benefits
- Reduces chemical odour and metallic or bitter taste
- Helps improve comfort for asthma or allergy sufferers
- Provides softer-feeling water for showers and washing
- Protects clothing from harsh water during laundry
- Improves plant health, as most plants prefer water without chloramine
Homes that rely on town water with a persistent chemical taste or smell often see an immediate improvement after installing a dedicated chloramine filter.
