Australia’s only whole-home filtration systems with complete-system certification across all three relevant areas of NSF/ANSI 42
SYDNEY, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Australian whole-home water filtration company, Complete Home Filtration (CHF), has achieved NSF/ANSI 42 certification for a specified configuration of its CHF6000 systems, marking an Australian first for complete-system certification across material safety, structural integrity, and chlorine-reduction performance.
CHF professionally installs tailored whole-home filtration systems at the point water enters a property, giving households greater choice and control over how their water is treated throughout the home.
Unlike certifications that apply to individual filters, housings or components, this certification covers the fully assembled CHF6000 10-inch and 15-inch systems in the certified configuration, independently assessing the complete system against the relevant requirements of NSF/ANSI 42.
For consumers, the distinction matters. An NSF reference on a water filtration product does not necessarily mean the complete assembled system has been certified. CHF’s certification covers three specific areas:
- Material safety: Assessment of the materials used within the certified system.
- Structural integrity: Assessment of the assembled system within the certification requirements.
- Chlorine-reduction performance: Independent certification of the system’s ability to reduce chlorine within the defined test conditions.
Suzanne Dodds, Founder and Managing Director of Complete Home Filtration, comments: "Consumers are increasingly asking more questions about the products they bring into their homes, and water should be no different. We believe people should have greater choice when it comes to the water in their homes, and that starts with being able to clearly understand what a system has actually been tested and certified to do."
"Not all filtration claims mean the same thing, and an NSF reference on a product doesn’t necessarily tell you whether the complete system has been independently assessed. For us, this certification is about giving Australians greater transparency around the performance of the complete system, and what it has been independently certified to do."
Why whole-home filtration?
Water is used throughout the home, not just at the kitchen tap. While filtration is often considered primarily for drinking water, whole-home systems treat water before it flows throughout the property, reflecting the many ways households use water every day.
One reason households may choose to further filter their water is to reduce substances used during the treatment process. Chlorine, for example, plays an important role in Australia’s drinking water system. However, guidelines on Chlorine levels vary internationally, with Australian doses usually 1–5 mg/L[1], compared with residual levels of 0.5 mg/L or less in England[2].
Installed at the point where water enters the property, the CHF6000 is designed to filter water before it reaches household plumbing, providing filtered water throughout the home.
Whole-home filtration, configured for your property
The CHF6000 is a professionally installed whole-home water filtration system that provides filtered water throughout the property. The NSF/ANSI 42 certification applies to a specified filter configuration of CHF’s 10-inch and 15-inch CHF6000 systems, which represents the company’s most commonly used filtration configuration.
CHF also offers other filtration configurations outside of the configuration covered by this NSF/ANSI 42 certification, depending on household and property requirements such as water conditions, plumbing, expected water demand and household requirements.
Installed where water enters the property, the system filters water before it reaches household plumbing. Depending on the configuration, filtration may include sediment, ion-exchange and carbon-based media.
