FilterWall & Enclosed Whole House Water Filtration Systems
Covered and enclosed whole-house water filtration systems provide the filtration performance of a conventional whole-home filter inside a cleaner, more integrated enclosure. They are particularly suited to homeowners who want whole-house filtration without exposed filter housings becoming a prominent feature outside the home.
JR Gas & Water supplies and installs Puretec FilterWall and other covered, cabinet-style and enclosed whole-house filtration systems throughout Greater Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Logan, Ipswich, Redlands, Moreton Bay and surrounding South East Queensland areas.
Puretec FilterWall is one of the best-known enclosed whole-house filtration ranges, but it is not the only format available. Enclosed systems can include factory-built cabinets, protective aluminium covers and other integrated whole-house filter designs that conceal and protect the filtration equipment while maintaining service access.
The best enclosed system still needs to be selected around the same fundamentals as any whole-house filter: water source, required treatment, household flow, cartridge capacity, installation location and future servicing.
What Is an Enclosed Whole House Water Filtration System?
An enclosed whole-house water filter is a point-of-entry filtration system where the filter housings, cartridges and associated components are contained within or protected by a purpose-built cover or cabinet.
Like a conventional whole-house filter, the system is normally connected to the incoming water supply so filtered water can be distributed to outlets throughout the property downstream of the filtration point.
Whole-House Filtration
The filtration equipment is designed for household water flow rather than only a single drinking-water tap.
Protective Enclosure
Filter housings and associated components are concealed or covered within a purpose-built housing rather than remaining fully exposed.
Serviceable Design
The enclosure should still allow practical access for cartridge replacement, inspection and ongoing maintenance.
Puretec FilterWall Whole House Water Filters
Puretec FilterWall is a purpose-built enclosed whole-house filtration range designed for mains-water applications. The filtration components are housed behind a finished protective cover, creating a much more integrated appearance than traditional exposed filter housings.
The FilterWall range includes options for different household sizes and water flow requirements, with selected models also incorporating treatment aimed at reducing the effects of scale.
FilterWall F3
Small to Medium Homes
An enclosed whole-house filtration option designed for smaller to medium residential applications where standard household flow is required.
FilterWall F4
Small to Medium Homes + Scale Treatment
Designed around a similar household size to the F3 with additional treatment for homes where reducing the effects of scale is also a priority.
FilterWall F5
Larger Homes
A higher-flow FilterWall configuration designed for larger houses and properties with greater simultaneous water demand.
FilterWall F6
Larger Homes + Scale Treatment
A higher-flow enclosed whole-house system combining filtration for larger homes with additional scale-management treatment.
Integrated Aluminium Cover
FilterWall systems use a finished enclosure to conceal the filter housings and provide a cleaner installation than conventional exposed systems.
Multiple Finish Options
The FilterWall range is available in multiple enclosure colours, allowing the filtration system to better suit walls, fences and surrounding exterior finishes.
Types of Covered & Enclosed Water Filtration Systems
FilterWall is one style of enclosed whole-house filtration. Other covered systems can achieve a similar goal using different cabinet, cover and filter configurations.
Puretec FilterWall Systems
Purpose-built integrated whole-house filtration with the filtration equipment hidden behind a finished enclosure.
Covered Dual-Stage Filters
Some whole-house systems combine two large filter housings with a protective cover, providing a more compact and finished alternative to exposed housings.
Covered Multi-Stage Filters
Multi-stage systems can place several filtration housings inside one cabinet where more than one treatment stage is required.
Cabinet Water Filters
Cabinet-style filtration integrates the filters, support and cover into a single external structure for a cleaner installation.
Wall-Mounted Enclosed Systems
Some enclosed systems are designed to be positioned against an external wall or suitable structure while maintaining access for future servicing.
Freestanding Enclosed Systems
Where the incoming water supply or property layout requires it, enclosed filtration may be installed as a freestanding system in a suitable position.
Why Choose an Enclosed Whole House Water Filter?
Cleaner Appearance
The biggest visual advantage is that filter housings, brackets and much of the associated plumbing can be concealed behind a finished enclosure.
More Integrated Installation
A purpose-built enclosure can make the filtration system look more like part of the property rather than equipment added to the side of the house.
Equipment Protection
A suitable enclosure can provide an additional layer of protection around filtration equipment compared with completely exposed housings.
Organised Servicing
Well-designed enclosed systems keep the filtration equipment together while still allowing access for cartridge changes and maintenance.
Whole-House Water Treatment
The enclosure does not change the fundamental purpose: water is filtered at the point of entry before being supplied to multiple household outlets.
Multiple Installation Styles
Covered systems can suit visible walls, fences, gardens and other locations where exposed filter housings may be less desirable.
Enclosed vs Exposed Whole House Water Filters
Both styles can provide effective whole-house filtration. The main difference is how the equipment is packaged and presented.
| Feature | Enclosed / Covered System | Exposed Whole-House System |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Filter housings concealed within a cabinet or cover | Filter housings and plumbing remain visible |
| Filtration capability | Depends on cartridges and treatment technology | Depends on cartridges and treatment technology |
| Flow capability | Depends on system size and cartridge configuration | Depends on system size and cartridge configuration |
| Equipment protection | Additional cover around filtration equipment | Equipment remains more directly exposed |
| Service access | Access through removable/opening enclosure | Direct access to filter housings |
| Initial cost | Generally higher due to enclosure and integrated design | Usually simpler and lower-cost configuration |
| Best suited to | Visible installations and homeowners prioritising appearance | Utility areas where appearance is less important |
How Does an Enclosed Whole House Water Filter Work?
The filtration process is fundamentally the same as a conventional whole-house system. Incoming water passes through one or more treatment stages before continuing into the home's plumbing.
1. Water Enters the System
The incoming mains-water line is diverted through the filtration system before supplying the outlets intended to receive filtered water.
2. First Filtration Stage
The first stage commonly performs physical filtration to capture suspended material and protect later treatment stages.
3. Main Treatment Stage
Additional filter media performs the primary water-treatment role selected for the system.
4. Optional Additional Treatment
Some enclosed systems include extra stages where another treatment objective is required.
5. Filtered Water Leaves the Cabinet
Treated water returns to the household supply and is distributed to fixtures downstream of the filter.
6. Cartridges Remain Serviceable
The enclosure can be opened or removed as designed to allow scheduled cartridge changes and maintenance.
What Size Enclosed Water Filter Do I Need?
Sizing an enclosed whole-house filter is primarily about water flow and filtration capacity. The cabinet itself does not determine whether the system is large enough for the property.
Important considerations include:
- Number of bathrooms.
- Peak simultaneous water use.
- Number of occupants.
- Incoming water pipe size.
- Available water pressure.
- Filter housing and cartridge size.
- Rated system flow.
- Filtration media selected.
- Expected cartridge capacity.
- Acceptable pressure loss.
| Property Type | Main Priority | Typical Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Small home / lower demand | Correct treatment without unnecessary oversizing | Compact enclosed whole-house system |
| Typical family home | Support normal simultaneous water use | System selected around household peak flow |
| Multiple bathrooms | Higher simultaneous flow | Larger housings and higher-flow cartridges |
| Large home / high demand | Maintain flow during several simultaneous uses | Higher-capacity enclosed filtration |
Who Should Choose a Covered or Enclosed Water Filter?
Visible Front or Side Areas
Enclosed systems make sense where the filtration equipment will be highly visible from the street, driveway, entertaining area or main access path.
Modern Homes
A finished cabinet can suit properties where exposed blue or clear filter housings would detract from the exterior appearance.
Limited Utility Areas
Where filtration needs to be installed in a prominent location, an integrated enclosure can make the final result much neater.
Homeowners Wanting Equipment Protection
A suitable protective cover can reduce direct exposure of the filtration equipment and keep components more contained.
New Builds & Renovations
Where filtration is planned early, the water supply and cabinet location can often be designed together for a cleaner result.
Premium Whole-House Installations
For homeowners who value the finished appearance as well as filtration performance, an enclosed system can provide a more complete-looking installation.
Where Should an Enclosed Water Filtration System Be Installed?
Whole-house filtration is generally installed on the incoming water supply before the fixtures intended to receive filtered water. The exact location depends on the property's plumbing layout and available space.
For an enclosed system, the location also needs to accommodate the physical cabinet and allow it to be opened for servicing.
Important Installation Considerations
- Access to the incoming water supply.
- Required household flow.
- Available wall, fence or freestanding space.
- Clearance to open or remove the enclosure.
- Clearance to remove filter cartridges.
- Suitable support and mounting.
- Practical isolation and bypass arrangements where required.
- Protection appropriate to the selected equipment.
- Future technician access.
- Appearance from surrounding areas.

JR Gas & Water displays current products and installed pricing in the live range above so you can compare actual enclosed systems rather than relying on a generic price estimate.
What Changes the Installed Price?
- Filtration system selected.
- Number and size of filter housings.
- Household flow requirement.
- Cartridge technology.
- Cabinet or enclosure design.
- Existing incoming plumbing.
- Pipe size.
- Installation position.
- Additional pipework.
- Isolation or bypass requirements.
- Mounting and support.
- Difficulty of access.
FilterWall & Enclosed Water Filter Maintenance
An enclosure does not remove the need for normal water-filter maintenance. The filtration cartridges inside the cabinet remain consumable treatment components and need to be replaced according to the system, water usage and manufacturer requirements.
Ongoing maintenance can include:
- Replacement of sediment cartridges.
- Replacement of carbon or other treatment cartridges.
- Inspection of filter housings.
- Inspection of seals and O-rings.
- Checking isolation and bypass valves.
- Flushing new cartridges.
- Cleaning the enclosure where required.
- Checking for leaks after servicing.

What We Look for in an Enclosed Whole House Water Filter
Correct Flow Capacity
The filtration system must support normal household demand before appearance or cabinet design is considered.
Useful Filter Media
The cartridges inside the cabinet should be selected around the actual filtration goal rather than simply maximising the number of stages.
Good Service Access
The enclosure should open easily and leave enough room to remove cartridges without unnecessary plumbing work.
Strong Housing Support
Large whole-house filters hold considerable water and require an installation that properly supports the equipment.
Replacement Cartridge Availability
A premium cabinet has little value if replacement filtration components become difficult or expensive to source.
A Position That Makes Sense
The installation should balance plumbing practicality, service access and the visual benefit of choosing an enclosed system.
Common Mistakes When Choosing an Enclosed Water Filter
Choosing the Cabinet Before the Filter
The required filtration and flow capacity should determine the system, not simply the enclosure that looks best.
Assuming Enclosed Means Maintenance-Free
The filter cartridges still require normal servicing and replacement.
Undersizing for Multiple Bathrooms
A whole-house filter must handle simultaneous household water demand without excessive restriction.
Ignoring Cartridge Clearance
The cabinet needs enough working space for cartridges and housings to be properly serviced.
Comparing Only Purchase Price
Replacement cartridges, servicing and long-term availability are part of the true ownership cost.
Assuming Every Enclosed Filter Is the Same
Different systems can use completely different housing sizes, flow rates and filtration media behind similar-looking covers.

FilterWall & Enclosed Water Filter FAQs
What is a Puretec FilterWall?
Puretec FilterWall is an enclosed whole-house water filtration system designed to filter water at the point of entry before it is distributed throughout the home. The filtration components are contained behind a finished protective cover rather than remaining fully exposed.
Is FilterWall a whole house water filter?
Yes. FilterWall is designed as a whole-house or point-of-entry filtration system, meaning water is filtered before being supplied to multiple outlets throughout the property downstream of the system.
Are there enclosed water filters other than Puretec FilterWall?
Yes. FilterWall is one enclosed filtration range, but other whole-house systems use protective covers, cabinets and integrated enclosures. The best option depends on the required filtration, household flow, available space and preferred installation style.
What is the difference between an enclosed and normal whole house filter?
The main difference is the enclosure. A conventional whole-house system normally leaves the housings visible, while an enclosed system places them inside a protective cabinet or cover. Actual filtration capability still depends on the cartridges and treatment technology.
Does an enclosure make the water filtration better?
Not by itself. The enclosure improves presentation and can provide additional physical protection, but filtration performance is determined by the filter media, cartridge configuration, flow rate and system design.
Which FilterWall model do I need?
The correct model depends primarily on household water flow, property size and required treatment. Smaller homes can use a lower-flow configuration, while homes with several bathrooms or greater simultaneous demand generally need a higher-flow system.
Can an enclosed filter be installed outside?
Many enclosed whole-house systems are designed around external residential installation, but the selected location must still suit the individual product's installation requirements and allow suitable plumbing and future service access.
Where should a FilterWall be installed?
It is generally installed on the incoming mains-water supply before the outlets intended to receive filtered water. The exact position should also provide enough space for the enclosure, plumbing and future cartridge replacement.
Does FilterWall need replacement cartridges?
Yes. The enclosure is a permanent part of the system, but the filtration cartridges inside it are consumable components and need periodic replacement according to usage, water conditions and manufacturer requirements.
Do enclosed whole house filters reduce water pressure?
Every filtration system introduces some resistance to flow. A correctly sized system should be selected around household peak demand, while undersized or overloaded cartridges can contribute to noticeable pressure loss.
Are enclosed whole house filters worth the extra cost?
They can be where appearance, equipment protection and an integrated finished installation are important. If the filter will be hidden in a utility area, a simpler exposed system may provide comparable filtration at a lower initial cost.
Do you install FilterWall in Brisbane and Gold Coast?
Yes. JR Gas & Water supplies and installs Puretec FilterWall and other covered or enclosed whole-house water filtration systems throughout Greater Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Logan, Ipswich, Redlands, Moreton Bay and surrounding South East Queensland service areas.
