Whole House - Mains Water - Chlorine and Sediment
3 Stage Whole House Chlorine Removal System (Atlas Filtri)
Clean, better-tasting water for your entire home, built for real-world conditions.
This 3 stage filtration system is designed to remove sediment and reduce chlorine, improving the taste, smell, and overall quality of your water throughout the house. It is a practical, high flow setup suited to mains water supplies, using proven Atlas Filtri components.
What’s Included
Atlas HYDRA BIG self-cleaning screen filter (90 micron) with flushing valve
20” BIG 10 micron pleated sediment cartridge
20” BIG 5 micron carbon block cartridge
DP Trio moulded head and housing system
Pressure gauges to monitor filter condition
Protective cover
How It Works (Simple Explanation)
This system uses three stages of filtration, and each one has a job.
Stage 1 – Self-Cleaning Hydra Filter (90 micron)
This is your first line of defence. It catches the bigger stuff such as sand, grit, and debris before it gets into the rest of the system. The key advantage is that it is washable, with a flushing valve at the base that allows you to clean it out without replacing anything. This helps protect the rest of the system and reduces ongoing costs.
Stage 2 – 10 Micron Pleated Sediment Filter
This stage removes finer particles such as rust, dirt, and organic debris including bark and leaves. By removing this material, it helps protect tapware and valves, reduces wear on household appliances, and improves overall water clarity.
Stage 3 – 5 Micron Carbon Block Filter
This is the most important and most expensive stage. It reduces chlorine, improving taste and smell, and makes water more pleasant for drinking and showering. It also provides a final level of fine filtration down to 5 microns.
Performance
Rated flow 26.6 L/min
Estimated capacity 209,000 litres (90 percent chlorine reduction at 2 ppm)
Why a 3 Stage System Matters
The goal is not just filtration, but protecting your filters and extending their life. By removing large and fine sediment in the first two stages, you prevent the carbon filter from clogging prematurely. This leads to better performance, longer lifespan, and lower running costs.
Running Costs (Realistic Expectations)
Cartridge replacement typically occurs every 6 to 12 months depending on water quality and maintenance.
Estimated cost of ownership
$35 dollars per month
$423 dollars per year
*Note on running costs
These figures are provided as a guide based on typical usage and maintenance. Actual replacement costs will vary depending on water quality, usage, and how well the system is maintained.
Replacement cartridges for this system are available in our store:
810982 – 10 micron pleated sediment cartridge
813173 – 5 micron carbon block cartridge
Most homes will sit closer to the lower end with proper maintenance.
Best For
Mains water homes
Reducing chlorine taste and smell
Protecting plumbing and appliances
Whole house filtration setups
The Bottom Line
This is a practical, no fuss filtration system designed to work in real conditions. It is not about overcomplicating things, it is about using the right stages in the right order to get reliable, long term results.
