Whole House Water Filters

A whole house water filter is a central filtration system installed on the main water line. It treats water before it reaches taps, showers, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, washing machines and other water points in the property.

Many properties in Cyprus use water from municipal supply, roof tanks or storage tanks. This water may contain sediment, rust, sand, chlorine smell, turbidity or microbiological contamination, especially when tanks and pipework are not cleaned regularly.

Yes. Whole house filtration is especially useful for villas, where water is often stored in tanks before entering the house. The right system can help protect bathrooms, showers, appliances and plumbing from sediment, bacteria and other water quality issues.

Yes, if there is access to the main water line, enough installation space and, depending on the system, drainage and power supply. Compact filtration systems can often be installed in apartments, but the setup must be checked first.

It depends on the system. A sediment filter removes sand, rust and particles. A carbon filter reduces chlorine, smell and taste. Ultrafiltration can reduce bacteria and fine particles. UV disinfection helps inactivate microorganisms.

Not usually. Standard filtration systems do not remove water hardness. If the main problem is limescale, a water softener is required. In many Cyprus homes, a softener is installed together with filtration.

Only if the system includes activated carbon filtration. Sediment filters and ultrafiltration membranes do not remove dissolved chlorine or chlorine smell.

Some systems can reduce bacteria, especially ultrafiltration systems. For stronger microbiological protection, ultrafiltration is often combined with UV disinfection or another properly designed disinfection stage.

Whole house filtration treats water for the entire property and usually focuses on sediment, chlorine, bacteria and general water quality. Reverse osmosis is typically installed under the kitchen sink to reduce dissolved salts, TDS and many drinking water contaminants.

Yes, in many cases. A softener protects against limescale, but it does not remove chlorine, bacteria, sand, rust or tank contamination. A filtration system can be added before or after the softener depending on the water quality and installation scheme.
