Why Perth homes need softening too
Much of Perth's water comes from limestone aquifers, where it picks up calcium and magnesium. That's what leaves the white film on shower screens and the scale in kettles.
- 180–220 mg/L
- Typical calcium and magnesium in Perth water
- 60 mg/L
- The threshold for “hard water”
- 78%+
- Of monitored water sources in Perth test as hard water
- 15–30%
- Extra hot water energy use from scale build-up

Two different jobs, one system
This is one of the most common questions Sean gets. Perth water has both problems: contamination and hardness.
Water filtration
- Removes chlorine, sediment and chemicals
- Improves taste and odour
- Removes what makes water unpleasant
Water softening
- Removes calcium and magnesium, the minerals causing hardness
- Protects appliances and plumbing from scale
- Prevents cloudy shower screens and mineral build-up
- Reduces energy costs
Whole house with softener
- Everything the standard system does
- Plus removes hardness
- Clean, soft water at every tap
- Protects your appliances and feels better on skin and hair
Sean recommends filtration with softening for most Perth families, because it addresses both the contamination and the hardness in Perth water.
What softer water means day to day
- No more cloudy film on shower screens
- Less scale in kettles and hot water systems
- Longer life for appliances and fixtures
- Softer, cleaner laundry
- Better soap lathering, so you use less detergent
Softener installs
Softeners we've installed alongside filtration, in the garage and beside the house.
From customers with hard water
-
We noticed the difference immediately after installation. No more hard water issues, and our hot water upgrade works perfectly.

Our kettle used to need descaling every month. Now it stays clean. Same with the shower screens: no more cloudy film.

Softener questions
Do I need to choose between filtration and softening?
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.
Does hard water really affect my appliances that much?
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.
How can I pay?
We offer flexible payment options including Afterpay, PayPal and credit card, plus interest-free financing. There are no lock-in contracts.
