Under Sink Water Filter Systems

Under sink water filters are an affordable and convenient way to filter common contaminants from your water including chlorine, sediment, and bad taste/odour.

These type of water filter units are compact units designed to sit under a kitchen bench or inside a nearby cupboard. The entire unit is  out of sight and doesn’t take up valuable space on your worktop.

An under sink filter can be used to feed one or more taps in your kitchen, along with fridges, ice makers and other water consuming appliances. They are great option for providing filtered water in an entertaining area or under a home bar.

Commercial environments like restaurants and cafes can also benefit from the use of under sink filters. They can be used for food preparation, ice production, making coffees, or for simply producing delicious cold water for customers.

At Clarence Water Filters, we carry a wide range of under bench filter systems which reduce contaminants like Dirt, Sediment, Chlorine, Fluoride, Bad taste, Odours, Heavy Metals, Bacteria, Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and much more.

Filtering your water using an under sink system will produce drinking water that safe and healthy. The perfect way  to protect your family’s health and make drinking water much more enjoyable.

Types of Under Sink Water Filters

There are several types of under sink water filter systems available, including:

High Flow Under Sink Water Filter Systems

High flow under sink filter systems connect to your cold water tap line using braided stainless steel lines. They filter 100% of the cold water being used by a specific tap or appliance.

They are designed to support higher flow rates — typically up to 5-6 litres per minute (depending on the filters used).

High flow units are the perfect choice when:

  • You don’t want to install a dedicated drinking water tap
    Most under sink filter systems will use a dedicated drinking water tap or a 3-way tap for serving the filtered water they produce.  You may not want a dedicated tap, as you have a stone bench top, or you don’t have enough room, or you simply don’t like the look of having a second tap on the bench. In this case, high flow may be the better option. It can operate through your mixer tap.
  • You have relatively high quality water so don’t need ultra-fine filtration
    If you live in a location like Sydney or Melbourne, your water quality is ‘reasonably’ good — compared to the rest of Australia, at least. If that is the case, you may decide that you only need to filter down to 5 microns, which most high flow units achieve with ease.
  • You prefer a simple installation
    High flow units typically have a much easier installation process. For example, our Twin High Flow Systems only require you to screw on a couple of braided stainless steel hoses. You won’t even need a plumber.

The only draw backs of high flow units are:

  • Filters can be depleted faster
    100% of your cold water is being filtered so every time you turn on the cold water tap you will be using up filter capacity. If you use your cold water tap a lot when rinsing plates or watering plants, you may find that your filters need to get replaced more often.
  • Filters are less fine 
    High flow units typically have filters which aren’t as fine as systems with dedicated taps as they must support higher flow rates. This means they are less capable of capturing ultra-fine sediment particles.
  • Not ideal for some media types
    Certain types of filter media require a lot of contact time to be effective. If you wanted to remove fluoride, for example, you need to have more contact time between media and water — which means a slower flow rate is required.  This makes it more challenging to use in a high flow setup.

Under Sink Water Filter Systems With Dedicated Tap

These water filter systems send filtered water to a dedicated drinking water tap or appliance. Can also be used with 3-way taps (see below).

Using this type of system means you will have an additional lever or spout just for your filtered water.

These systems typically have a slower flow rate (< 2 Litres per minute) and use ultra-fine filters.

Systems with a dedicated tap are ideal when:

  • You require extremely fine filtration or a specific contaminant removed, like fluoride or heavy metals
  • There is plenty of room on your sink or benchtop for a dedicated tap
  • Having a slower flow rate won’t affect you

Under Sink Water Filter Systems With 3-Way Tap

If you don’t like the idea of having a dedicated drinking water tap on your counter top or sink, you can install a 3-way tap.

3-way taps look similar to a standard mixer tap, but they have an additional lever for turning on filtered water. This lets you access filtered and unfiltered water from a single tap.

View our taps page to take a look at the 3-way taps that are currently available.  If you’d like to use a 3-way tap, purchase the filter system with ‘no tap’ then choose the 3-way tap of your choice.

If you need help deciding which system to purchase, give us a call or send an email today.

The most common filter types are:

  • Sediment Filters (Particulate Reduction) 
  • Carbon Filters (Chemical and Bad Taste/Odour Reduction)

Under Sink Water Filter Systems — Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do the Under Sink Filters Last?

The lifespan of under sink water filters varies based on several factors. The most important are:

  • The amount of water being put through the filter
    The more water being put through the filter, the faster the filter’s contaminant reduction capacity will be used up.
  • The quality of the water
    If your water is quite clean and does not have high levels of chemicals, your filters will last much longer.
  • The type of filter being used
    The quality of the filter and the type of media it contains can determine lifespan. For example, a chlorine filter have a longer lifespan that a fluoride filter, because of the type of media being used.

However, in general terms, the average 2-4 person household will get:

  • 12 months from carbon filters filters like the WC04 or AP1025KDF/GAC.
  • 12 months from sediment filters on reasonably good water. 6 months if your water is quite dirty.
  • 6-12 months from a fluoride reduction filter. These filters have lower capacities (typically around 1,900 litres), so a busy household may use up the filter before 12 months.
