Water Filtration Systems Ballina, Byron Bay, Lennox Head & the Northern Rivers
The quality of your drinking water depends entirely on what's between the source and your tap. Whether you're on town water dealing with chlorine and sediment, or on tank water needing protection from bacteria and contaminants, a properly installed filtration system makes a measurable difference to your water quality and your family's health.
JF Plumbing Group is an authorised Puretec installer based in Lennox Head, servicing Ballina, Byron Bay, Lismore, Mullumbimby, Ocean Shores, Brunswick Heads, Suffolk Park, Alstonville and the wider Northern Rivers. We supply, install and service whole house, under sink, and tank water filtration systems for residential and commercial properties.
Water Filtration Systems
Types of Water Filtration Systems We Install
Whole House Filtration
A whole house system filters all the water entering your property at the mains connection point. Every tap, shower, washing machine and appliance receives filtered water. These systems remove sediment, chlorine, chemicals, and bad taste and odour from town water. Ideal for families who want clean water throughout the home without installing separate filters at each outlet.
Under Sink Filtration
Under sink systems install beneath your kitchen sink and filter your drinking and cooking water at a single point. They're more affordable than whole house systems and effective at removing chlorine, lead, chemicals and bacteria. Most systems use a dedicated filtered water tap installed next to your existing kitchen tap.
Tank Water Filtration
Properties on rainwater tanks across the Northern Rivers hinterland need filtration to remove bacteria, sediment, tannins and other contaminants that accumulate in tank water. UV sterilisation combined with sediment and carbon filtration is the most effective setup for making tank water safe for drinking. Essential for rural properties in Mullumbimby, Alstonville, and the hinterland areas.
Commercial Water Filtration
Cafes, restaurants, and food service businesses in Byron Bay and Ballina need consistent water quality for coffee machines, ice makers, dishwashers, and food preparation. We install commercial-grade filtration systems sized to your water usage and equipment requirements.
UV Water Sterilisation
UV sterilisation kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and parasites in your water supply without adding chemicals. It's the final stage in a multi-stage filtration system and essential for any property relying on tank water or bore water as a drinking source.
Water Quality Assessment
We assess your water source (town, tank, or bore), test for common contaminants, and recommend the right filtration setup for your property and household size. No point installing a whole house system when an under sink filter does the job, and no point installing a basic carbon filter when your tank water needs UV sterilisation.
Professional Installation
We install all systems to manufacturer specifications with proper plumbing connections, pressure regulation, and bypass valves for filter changes. Every installation is tested and flushed before handover. Compliance certificates are provided for all regulated plumbing work.
Filter Replacement and Servicing
Every filtration system needs regular filter changes to maintain effectiveness. We offer scheduled servicing and filter replacement to keep your system performing. Most filters need changing every 6 to 12 months depending on usage and water quality. We'll set you up on a reminder schedule so your filters never go past their service life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Filtration
Depends on what you want filtered. If you only care about drinking water quality, an under sink filter is cost-effective and does the job. If you want chlorine and sediment removed from your showers, laundry and every tap, a whole house system is the way to go. We'll recommend the right setup for your property.
Most filters need changing every 6 to 12 months depending on usage and water quality. UV lamps typically need replacing annually. We offer scheduled servicing so your filters are always within their service life.
Not guaranteed. Tank water can contain bacteria, parasites, sediment, tannins, bird and animal droppings residue, and chemical runoff from roofing materials. UV sterilisation combined with sediment and carbon filtration is the recommended setup for making tank water safe for drinking.
