Water filters in Canterbury, supplied and installed.

Canterbury 2193 is about 20 minutes from our Revesby Heights base, and we cover Campsie and the streets around the Cooks River. Your water comes through the Potts Hill supply system and is soft, so most households here want taste and PFAS reduction, not a softener: six-stage reverse osmosis from $649 installed, or a $299 under-sink filter.

Homes in Canterbury

Canterbury and the Cooks River: Federation and inter-war homes.

Canterbury is about 11 km south-west of the CBD, in the City of Canterbury-Bankstown, beside the Cooks River and the old Canterbury Park Racecourse. The streets here are a mix of Federation and inter-war brick houses, with apartment blocks along Canterbury Road.

Houses this age often still have older copper and brass plumbing, and some have had partial upgrades over the decades. That is where taste, discolouration and metals come from, not Sydney Water's supply. Six-stage reverse osmosis at the kitchen tap deals with all of it, and a whole-house sediment and carbon system protects the showers and the hot water unit.

Installing in Canterbury: what to know

  • Character homes: we fit the under-sink system so it is serviceable without touching your joinery
  • Apartments on Canterbury Road: compact under-sink or tankless reverse osmosis
  • With the Canterbury station upgrade closures, we drive in anyway, so public transport does not affect bookings
  • Fixed price in writing before we arrive

Your water in Canterbury

What comes out of the tap in Canterbury 2193.

Canterbury is supplied by Sydney Water through the Potts Hill supply system. It meets the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines, and here is what that water looks like according to published 2024–25 results for Canterbury:

  • Fluoride: about 1.0 mg/L, added on purpose. Only reverse osmosis takes it out
  • Hardness: around 48.3 mg/L, which is soft, so you do not need a softener
  • Disinfected with chloramine, the source of the pool taste and smell most people notice
  • PFAS: traces below guideline limits at the source. Reverse osmosis reduces PFOS and PFAS by up to 99%
  • Older pipes and fittings in your home can add rust, sediment or lead after the water leaves the mains

Taste and chlorine only: the 3-stage at $299 is enough. Fluoride, lead or PFAS: go with six-stage reverse osmosis at $649. Showers and every tap: the whole house system. See what each filter removes, how hard Sydney water is and how to remove PFAS from tap water.

Canterbury questions

Do you charge extra to come out to Canterbury?

No. Canterbury is inside our no-surcharge zone from Revesby Heights, so the installed price we quote is the full price of the job.

Does a water filter remove fluoride from Canterbury tap water?

Only reverse osmosis does. Canterbury water is fluoridated at about 1.0 mg/L. Carbon filters, including our 3-stage, improve taste and remove chlorine but leave fluoride in. Our six-stage reverse osmosis reduces it by 90 to 97%.

Do I need a water softener in Canterbury?

No. Canterbury water is soft at around 48.3 mg/L hardness, so a softener is not needed. Most households here choose a filter for taste, chlorine, fluoride or PFAS rather than hardness.

“John did an excellent job installing a reverse osmosis system and chrome three way mixer tap. Couldn’t be happier with the service and communication… Im very impressed with the upfront reasonable pricing, the installation being included and no hidden extras.”

“John from PH Water Filters did an absolutely outstanding job installing our reverse osmosis system. The installation was extremely neat and clean, and he took the time to explain everything in detail so we understood how the system works and how to maintain it.”
