Redlands tap water contains chloramine, trace heavy metals, and chemical residues that affect every tap, shower, and appliance in your home every single day. A whole home water filtration system is the most effective way to address all of it in a single installation and for Redlands homeowners it is one of the best investments you can make in your property.
This guide covers everything you need to know before you buy.
What Is a Whole Home Water Filtration System?
A whole home water filtration system also called a point of entry system, is installed where the water supply enters your property, typically at the meter box. Unlike an under sink filter that only treats water at one tap, a whole home system filters every single liter of water entering your home before it reaches any tap, shower, bath, dishwasher, washing machine, or hot water unit.
That means clean filtered water from every outlet in the house from the moment it is installed.
Why Redlands Homes Specifically Benefit
Redlands homes sit within the SEQ Water Grid, the same chloramine-treated supply network serving greater Brisbane. Chloramine is used as the primary disinfectant across 100% of the SEQ supply and unlike standard chlorine it requires catalytic carbon filtration to remove. A standard water filter from a hardware store will not address it.
The effects Redlands homeowners notice before installing a whole home system are consistent. A chemical taste and smell from the kitchen tap. Dry skin and scalp irritation after showering. Children with eczema that flares after bathing. Scaling on taps, showerheads, and glass shower screens. Hot water systems and appliances requiring maintenance more frequently than expected.
All of these trace back to the same source, unfiltered chloramine-treated water entering the home at every point simultaneously.
What the Bluehaven System Removes
Our 3-stage whole home system is purpose-built for SEQ water. Stage one removes sediment and particulates. Stage two uses catalytic carbon block filtration specifically engineered to break down chloramine. Stage three provides final polishing and broad spectrum contaminant reduction.
What it removes from your Redlands tap water:
Chlorine at 99.9% reduction Chloramine at 90% or greater reduction Lead at 99.95% reduction Heavy metals including zinc, cadmium, and aluminium Pesticides at 97% reduction Sediment and rust
How It Is Different From Other Systems
Most whole home systems on the market use standard 10 inch filters and basic carbon blocks that were not designed for Australian mains water and specifically not for chloramine. Bluehaven uses oversized 20 x 4.5 inch housings, double the filtration surface of most competitors, paired with catalytic carbon that actually breaks chloramine down rather than simply absorbing standard chlorine.
The result is comprehensive whole home filtration that addresses what is actually in Redlands tap water, not a generic solution designed for a different water profile.
What It Protects in Your Home
Beyond the health benefits, a Bluehaven whole home system protects your property infrastructure. Chloramine and the chemical residues in unfiltered SEQ water accelerate corrosion in copper pipes, cause scale buildup inside hot water systems and on heating elements, and degrade rubber seals and fittings throughout your plumbing. A whole home filter installed at the entry point protects every appliance and fitting in the house from ongoing chemical exposure extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs over time.
For Redlands homeowners this is a genuine long term financial benefit on top of the everyday quality of life improvement.
Pricing and Options
Bluehaven whole home systems are available in two configurations for Redlands homes.
Supply only with our Australian made powder-coated aluminium cover in your choice of 20 plus Colorbond colours to match your home $2,799. You arrange installation through your own licensed plumber.
Supply and professional installation by a licensed plumber $3,370. We coordinate the plumber, you do not need to manage anything separately.
Annual filter maintenance is $385 per year, less than $1.10 per day to filter every liter of water in your home. Filters are replaced every 12 months, not every months like most competitor systems, which keeps the ongoing cost low. The system comes with a 10 year warranty and interest free payment is available through Zip Pay
