Understand Your Water Before You Filter It.
Different homes can experience different water-quality concerns. Understanding what you notice at the tap is the first step toward choosing the right filtration approach.
What Do We Mean by Water Quality?
Water quality is not only about whether water is suitable for drinking. Homeowners can also notice differences in taste, odour, chlorine, sediment and mineral build-up.
These concerns can affect the way water tastes and smells, as well as the way it interacts with household fixtures, appliances, showers and plumbing.
That is why NEXA begins with the household and the property rather than assuming every home needs exactly the same solution.
What Do Perth Homeowners Notice About Their Water?
Every household is different, but these are some of the common water-quality concerns homeowners ask NEXA about.
Chlorine
Chlorine is commonly used in mains water treatment. Carbon filtration can help reduce chlorine present in incoming household water.
Taste & Odour
Some households notice tastes or odours they would prefer to reduce. Carbon filtration can help address selected compounds associated with these concerns.
Sediment
Sediment filtration is designed to capture particulate material such as sand, rust, silt and other fine material before it continues through the home.
Scale Build-Up
Scale-protection media can help reduce scale formation and mineral build-up around household fixtures and plumbing.
Water Quality Is Not the Same as Water Safety.
A household may want to improve the taste, smell or characteristics of its water without that automatically meaning the water is unsafe.
NEXA's in-home assessment is designed to understand the household's concerns and discuss filtration options.
Where detailed chemical, microbiological or contaminant analysis is required, laboratory testing is the appropriate method.
The Experience at the Tap Can Depend on More Than One Factor.
What a household notices can be influenced by the water supply as well as the property's own infrastructure.
Local Water Supply
Water characteristics can differ depending on the supply serving the area.
Household Plumbing
Pipework, fittings and the age of household plumbing can influence what is experienced at the tap.
Water Usage
Household size and water-use patterns affect how a filtration system should be considered.
Fixtures & Appliances
Mineral residue and water characteristics can become particularly noticeable around fixtures and appliances.
Installation Layout
Incoming pipework and available space influence where a whole-home system can be installed.
Household Priorities
One family may focus on drinking-water taste while another wants filtration across the entire property.

Three Stages. Three Different Roles.
NEXA Select uses a three-stage whole-home filtration approach, with each stage designed for a different purpose.
Sediment Filtration
Designed to capture sand, rust, silt and fine particulate material before water continues through the remaining filtration stages.
Carbon Filtration
Designed to reduce chlorine, taste, odour and selected waterborne compounds from the incoming water supply.
Scale Protection
Designed to help reduce scale formation and mineral build-up around household fixtures and plumbing.
In-Home Assessment or Laboratory Testing?
They serve different purposes.
Understand the Household & Filtration Goal
A NEXA in-home assessment is designed to understand the property, the household's water concerns and the potential filtration approach.
- Discuss household water concerns
- Consider water use throughout the home
- Review installation requirements
- Explain appropriate filtration options
Detailed Water Analysis
Laboratory testing is appropriate when detailed analysis of specific chemical, mineral, microbiological or other water parameters is required.
- Detailed analytical testing
- Measured laboratory results
- Specific parameter identification
- Independent laboratory reporting
When the Goal Is Water Throughout the Home.
Point-of-use filtration focuses on one outlet. Whole-home filtration takes a different approach by treating water on the incoming supply before it travels throughout the property.
Nexa Select is NEXA Home Solutions' three-stage whole-home filtration system, built around a full-size 20" × 4.5" filtration platform.
