Perth has some of Australia's hardest water. A softener removes the calcium and magnesium that leave white film on shower screens and scale in kettles and hot water systems.
Softeners we've installed in garages and beside the house, alongside filtration.
Much of Perth's water comes from limestone aquifers, where it picks up calcium and magnesium. Some northern suburbs sit above 200 mg/L.

Softening and filtration are two different jobs. Perth water has both problems: hardness and contamination.
That's why Sean recommends filtration with softening for most Perth families. See whole-house filtration with a softener.
No. Our whole-house system with a Puretec softener gives you both in one installation: clean, soft water throughout your home. It's what most Perth families need, because our water has both contamination and hardness issues.
Yes. Hard water is one of the most expensive hidden costs in Perth homes. Scale reduces washing machine efficiency, clogs dishwashers, and can halve the life of your hot water system while increasing its energy use by 15 to 30%. Over 10 to 15 years, hard water damage can cost $5,000+ in early appliance replacements.
We offer flexible payment options including Afterpay, PayPal and credit card, plus interest-free financing. There are no lock-in contracts.
