Clean water is an investment, but it shouldn't be a financial mystery. While the initial system cost is one thing, the ongoing maintenance—specifically cartridge replacement—is where the real budget planning happens.
Whether you are looking for a simple sediment filter or a complex 8-stage purification system, understanding the market rates ensures you never overpay for purity.
8-Stage Filter Technology
Prices vary by complexity and brand, but here is the typical price range you can expect in Australia:
| Cartridge Type | Estimated Cost (AUD) |
|---|---|
| Sediment Filter | $10 - $30 |
| Activated Carbon | $20 - $60 |
| Ceramic Filter | $30 - $80 |
| Reverse Osmosis Membrane | $50 - $150 |
Not all filters are created equal. Multi-stage cartridges (like 7 or 8-stage systems) cost more but replace multiple single filters.
