Based on Warrego's water profile
Reverse Osmosis (RO) System Top pick
Your water hardness is 453 mg/L (very hard). An RO system removes 90–99% of dissolved minerals, effectively eliminating limescale and improving taste.
Salt-Free Scale Reducer
At 453 mg/L, a whole-house salt-free conditioner or electronic descaler can reduce limescale buildup on pipes and appliances — it limits scale, but doesn't remove hardness minerals from the water.
Activated Carbon Filter
Your chlorine level is 1 mg/L. A carbon filter effectively removes chlorine taste and odour, and is one of the most affordable options.
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.

Why this filter for Warrego?
Based on the latest water quality data for Warrego, we've analysed the key parameters that affect filter choice. Your water hardness is 453 mg/L — classified as "very hard." This level causes significant limescale buildup in kettles, hot water systems, and pipes. Fluoride is 0.78 mg/L, within normal range. Chlorine is 1 mg/L. While safe, this can cause taste and odour issues. Carbon filtration is very effective at removing chlorine. Total dissolved solids (TDS) are 142 mg/L — within ideal range. That's why we recommend a reverse osmosis (ro) system as the best primary filter for Warrego.
Utility reports average the grid — not your home
Warrego'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.
