Activated Carbon Filter Top pick
Your chlorine level is 0.768985 mg/L. A carbon filter effectively removes chlorine taste and odour, and is one of the most affordable options.
Fluoride and PFAS Filter
Standard carbon filters don't remove fluoride or PFAS. If you want either reduced without a plumber, a certified ion-exchange jug or a compact under-sink filter is the step up from a carbon jug.
Gravity Water Filter
A gravity filter is a versatile, budget-friendly option that requires no plumbing. Good for general filtration of chlorine, sediment, and common contaminants.

Utility reports average the grid — not your home
St Leonards's water meets ADWG standards at the source, but old pipes, roof tanks, and ageing plumbing can add lead, copper or bacteria before the water reaches your tap. These won't show up in your utility report.
Check your own tap before buying a filter or assuming the suburb average matches your home.
