COMPLETE RIP-OFF — DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING I purchased a three-stage 15" filtration system from Complete Home Filtration around four years ago, and looking back, I feel I was given misleading information and significantly overcharged for both the system and replacement filters. I was told that the filters do not taper off or lose… Read more
filtration performance over time — essentially that they would filter consistently from day one through to the end of their service life. with no evidence to back it up.
The system was also advertised at the time as being capable of filtering PFAS, but that claim is no longer advertised on their website. That raises some serious questions about the information I was given when I purchased the system.
Then there is the ongoing cost.
Replacement filters for the 15" system cost over $900.
I recently purchased a premium 20" three-stage system using premium European-designed filters for around $600 — less than the cost of simply replacing the filters in my Complete Home Filtration system. Replacement costs for all three filters in the new system are under $200.
The reverse osmosis system is another example. I paid approximately $1,200 for the system, yet the same unit is now advertised elsewhere for around $600, almost four years later. Complete Home Filtration also quoted me over $400 for replacement filters, while I can purchase premium-grade replacement filters elsewhere for under $200.
I also experienced issues with the installation process. When I placed my original order, I was told there was a 4–5 week wait for installation. However, after I started asking questions and comparing their filtration systems and filter designs with European alternatives, my system was suddenly installed within one week.
After doing considerably more research into filtration systems, filter media, replacement costs and alternative suppliers, I feel that I paid far too much for what I received.
My advice: do your research before buying from Complete Home Filtration. Compare the actual filter specifications, filtration claims, replacement costs and the systems themselves rather than relying solely on what you're told during the sales process.
For me, the experience has been extremely disappointing, and I would not recommend Complete Home Filtration based on my experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend! Installing a home water filtration system is one of the best decisions I've made. I've taken control of looking after my family's health, and the difference has been incredible. The water tastes so much better, there's no more skin irritation, and the unit is neatly wall-mounted, making it easy to maintain the area around it. Excellent service, professional installation, and worth every cent. Show details · 1
From quote to install was quick and easy, thanks to complete home filtration my water tastes soo much better no more Chlorine smell, plumber was really quick and did a nice job installing even putting back my pavers and cutting around new piping Show details · 1
2 weeks into our journey with CHF we are loving the purity of the water, shining hair, and soft fluffy towels. Our water bottles can taste the difference. Show details · 1
The system itself is really good. Very happy with it. Michael was very helpful/excellent and did not feel pressured into signing and the plumber was also good. My only comment is their referral system… i was referred by a friend from Perth and when i was asking for this, they said that since i did not tell them about it when i booked (eventhough… Read more · 1
on my 1st consultation i told them about it) they refuse to give the friend the referral bonus(?) - i hope they change their mind about this Now i referred a friend and she mentioned this when she booked and when she spoke to Michael, her system has been installed and i am just waiting for my referral bonus … wonder when that will be
Excellent product. Quick turn around for installation and all round good service . Price of product it’s self, a little pricey . But very happy overall. Show reply
Filtration system works well, water tastes better and is cleaner. Installation was prompt and installer was friendly and helpful. The salesman, Charles, went out of his way to assist when we could not remember how to change filter. He came over and went through the process again, explaining how the system works once more, and demonstrating the step by step how to. (This probably not be a problem for younger people!)

Worst after sale service. The filter housings split ( after warranty of coarse) and had to purchase new ones. Obviously a cheap product. Should be way more durable for the price. Also you cannot buy generic filters as their design doesn’t allow anything other than their filters. There are equally good products available that are much cheaper as i… Read more
have found out. Plus they are in WA so anything you need takes weeks to get to you. This system is Certainly not value for money.
Hi Jason Thank you for taking the time… Read more
The filtration system seems to be great. Installation was the issue. The plumbers had to pull up pavers to do the install. I accept they’re plumbers, not pavers, but CHF needs to take responsibility for making good on jobs and get a paver on their books for finishing the job. As it stands, a heap of sand has been removed (which the plumber was… Read more
shovelling into the garden before I stopped him), the pavers are all uneven, and there’s a paver removed for me to deal with.
I’ve now got a future issue with sinking pavers, bricks I’ve got to lift back up, and one or two that I’ll have to cut.
CHF could have spent $200 on a contractor to “make good” here and preserve their reputation, but they’re not that type of company. Buyer beware.
Thank you for your feedback Michael.… Read more

Definitely not as good as I heard it was. Been a month now and still not noticed a difference in the taste, hardness of water or anything.
Follow-up · I expected the water to taste more like rain water, but it tastes like chemicals. It has dried my scalp out so badly. I’m definitely not happy with it. I’ve also found the after care people extremely rude.

The filter system is great, have noticed better water quality but, the contractors who installed the system were rubbish. They installed the wrong size unit, left one of the pipe fittings loose which popped off when replacing the pavers, now I also… Read more
have a leak on the street side of the meter which SA Water has to fix. I complained to the company and asked for some kind of compensation ( a free filter) they have not been in touch with me for two weeks. I feel that once they have your cash, your on your own.
Follow-up · A year down the track. Have noticed the water pressure drops at times, have had to clean the shower head also, I thought it was a calcium build up but CHF assures me it's just "dirt". In hindsight I would not have installed these filters. Very expensive for little noticeable change of water quality.

Wow our water is now so soft and our skin feels amazing. It’s only been a few weeks but my hair feels softer too and the water tastes great. From when Colin came and quoted us right up to the install the service we received was so professional. Great company and a great system. Show details · 1

We were genuinely interested in purchasing a water filtration unit and paid the required $400 deposit to proceed. Shortly afterwards, our lives changed dramatically when my father was diagnosed with advanced-stage cancer. I had to travel overseas urgently to care for him, which resulted in significant hospital bills, travel expenses, and the loss… Read more
of my income after leaving my job to support my family during this difficult time.
Our intention was to finance the purchase through Bright Finance. However, after speaking with Bright Finance, we were advised that our application was unlikely to be approved because they required current payslips from both applicants. Due to my circumstances and having left my job to care for my father, I was unable to meet those requirements.
We explained our situation in full to Alistair from Complete Home Filtration as well as to Bright Finance. Despite providing a genuine explanation supported by our circumstances, Complete Home Filtration refused to show any compassion or flexibility. We were informed that our $400 deposit would be forfeited.
After numerous follow-ups, Alistair advised that the deposit would only be refunded if we obtained a formal rejection letter from Bright Finance, despite Bright already advising us that our application could not proceed because the required documentation was unavailable.
Given the exceptional circumstances surrounding my father’s illness and the financial hardship our family experienced, retaining our $400 deposit is unfair and unreasonable. We believe Complete Home Filtration has failed to act with empathy or fairness, despite being fully aware of our situation. In our view, withholding the deposit under these circumstances is an unjust business practice and has left us feeling extremely disappointed.

Please do your research and consider alternative companies. Did not apppreciate the incredibly pressuring and aggressive sales tactics - pressured to pay a $400 deposit on the day of the “consult” to get a significantly better price Essentially would have cost us $1300 more if we wanted more than 5min to think about a $5000-7000 purchase. We… Read more
took the bait and paid the $400 to lock in the lower price (still around $5000). Did more research and decided to back out and forego the deposit. Sent a polite email to their office (after being flooded with constant followup calls every day), asking not to be contacted anymore. However, sales person still relentlessly tried to dig into why we were backing out and offering us “more cost effective options” that were never even hinted at during the initial consult where we were pressured to pay.
If this product is as good as they say they are, quality speaks for itself. Relying on scummy aggressive sales tactics instead raises suspicion about the product and sours the buying experience.

The taste and feel of the water is incredible. No chemical flavouring and softness of water is wonderful on skin and hair. Having had a unit at a previous home we owned, we knew the product was great, but had forgotten just how great it is. The installation was smooth and done very quickly. Highly recommend.
