Little Luxury Water Filters supplies six tested options for a water filter system for home installation, spanning a R719.00 desktop dispenser to a complete R18,500.00 borehole unit. The right pick depends on your water source. Municipal homes generally suit an under-sink or whole-house unit, while boreholes and tanks need the heavier filtration in the Full Monty range.
A household water filter works by forcing water through physical, chemical or biological barriers that trap particles, absorb chemicals or block organisms too large to pass through. South African water sources often carry sediment, sand, rust and organic matter that affect taste and clarity, so the barrier stage matters as much as the plumbing around it.
Little Luxury stocks a complete water filter system for home installation range covering borehole filtration, whole-house treatment, under-sink reverse osmosis, countertop dispensers and maintenance products. Professional plumbing is recommended for whole-house and borehole systems to protect the warranty.
Each product below ships ready for a straightforward water filter system for home installation, with full specifications on its own product page.
Properties on borehole, tank or rainwater supply need filtration built for raw water rather than treated municipal supply. The Full Monty Complete Borehole & Water Tank Filtration System (R18,500.00) reduces sediment, rust and organic matter before water reaches any tap, with a 3-year warranty included.
For municipal households wanting every tap covered, the Gold Standard whole-house water filtration system (R2,099.00) fits onto the main line entering the home. Its three stages strip chlorine, sediment and odours, and the cartridges last a year. Both units suit a water filter system for home installation where several bathrooms and a kitchen need clean water from one point.
Households wanting the deepest contaminant reduction generally choose reverse osmosis. Little Luxury's 6-Stage Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System (R1,999.00) fits under the kitchen sink and stores 12 litres of filtered water in a pre-pressurised tank. Six stages, including a 0.0001 micron membrane, strip fluoride, heavy metals, bacteria and dissolved salts, restoring taste lost to municipal treatment, a popular water filter system for home installation on city supply.
Incoming water pressure matters here. Pressure below 3 bar needs a booster pump; above 5.5 bar needs a regulating valve, or the warranty is void. Little Luxury's guide to under-sink reverse osmosis water filter systems covers the pressure check, and most households manage installation in an afternoon.
The table below lines up all six products by type, ideal water source and maintenance interval, useful when weighing a water filter system for home installation. Current water filter system for home prices are listed on Little Luxury's pricing page.
| Product | Best For | Price (ZAR) | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crystal Clear Desktop Water Dispenser | Countertop, no power | R719.00 | Cartridge every 2 to 3 months |
| 6-Stage Reverse Osmosis System | Under-sink, deepest filtration | R1,999.00 | Membrane every 12 to 24 months |
| Gold Standard Whole House System | Every tap, municipal water | R2,099.00 | Cartridges every 12 months |
| Full Monty Borehole & Tank System | Borehole, tank, rainwater | R18,500.00 | Cartridges every 6 to 12 months |
| Gold Standard Replacement Cartridges | Refilling the Gold Standard | R799.00 | Every 12 months |
| Water Filter Housing Cleanser | Housing upkeep, any system | R169.00 | Every cartridge change |
Filter performance drops before it becomes obvious at the tap, so a fixed replacement schedule matters more than waiting for a taste change. The Gold Standard Replacement Water Filter Cartridges (R799.00) cover all three stages of the whole-house unit, while the Water Filter Housing Cleanser (R169.00) clears mineral build-up from the housings at every change, whichever water filter system for home installation is fitted.
The Gold Standard Whole House System (R2,099.00) treats every tap from one point, the 6-Stage Reverse Osmosis System (R1,999.00) suits deep contaminant reduction at the kitchen sink, and borehole or tank properties need the Full Monty (R18,500.00).
Little Luxury's range runs from R719.00 for the Crystal Clear Desktop Water Dispenser to R18,500.00 for the Full Monty, with the Gold Standard Whole House System (R2,099.00) and 6-Stage Reverse Osmosis System (R1,999.00) in between.
Countertop units like the Crystal Clear Desktop Water Dispenser need no installation beyond filling the top chamber, and the 6-Stage Reverse Osmosis System is DIY-friendly for confident plumbers. A qualified plumber is recommended for the Gold Standard Whole House System and the Full Monty, since incorrect fitting voids the warranty.
The Gold Standard Replacement Water Filter Cartridges typically last around 12 months, while the 6-Stage Reverse Osmosis System's membrane lasts 12 to 24 months. The Water Filter Housing Cleanser at each change helps cartridges perform fully.
A whole-house unit like the Gold Standard system filters water where it enters the home, so every tap benefits. An under-sink unit like the 6-Stage Reverse Osmosis System filters one tap, usually the kitchen, but removes a wider range of contaminants.
