Twin Whole House Water Filter System | 20" x 4.5" High Flow | Stainless Steel Bracket | WaterMark Certified (GT1-9WMS)

Twin Whole House Water Filter System — 20" x 4.5" High Flow, Stainless Steel Bracket, WaterMark Certified (GT1-9WMS)

The same high flow twin whole house system as our GT1-9WM, supplied on a pre-installed 304 stainless steel mounting bracket instead of the standard powder coated steel one. If the system is going on an outside wall, in a pump shed, or anywhere near the coast, the stainless bracket is the one that will still look right in ten years.

Choose your configuration

Whole-house housings are shipped to you empty, so you pick the cartridges that suit your water. If you are not sure which way to go, call us — it is a two minute conversation.

• Complete — mains water ($527)
  System plus a 5 micron washable pleated sediment cartridge and a 5 micron coconut carbon block. The pleated cartridge catches grit and can be rinsed and reused. The carbon block handles chlorine, taste and odour.
• Complete — rain & tank water ($553.50)
  System plus a 20 micron washable pleated sediment cartridge and a 5 micron silver impregnated carbon block. The coarser sediment cartridge copes with the leaf litter and roof grit that comes off a tank, and the silver impregnated carbon is bacteriostatic, which stops bacteria colonising the carbon itself.
• Housing only ($341)
  The system, bracket, spanner and plugs. Choose this if you already know your cartridges or you are replacing a housing.

Filtering rain, tank or bore water? Filtration alone does not make untreated water safe to drink. Carbon does not kill bacteria, viruses or parasites. If the water is coming off a roof, a dam or a bore and it is going to be drunk, you want ultraviolet sanitation after the filters. Our GT7-9K UV pairs with this system.
