Home / Mains Water Filters
Fountain Filters are a leading UK supplier of home water filter systems.
Water filter systems for home use are often referred to as a mains water filter or whole house water filter. This simply means that the water filtration system is fitted to the rising main where water enters your house.
A home water filtration system is a plumbed in water filter that will provide you with fresh filtered water from your kitchen cold water tap and at other taps throughout your house should you want it, such as your bathroom or utility room.
If you are looking for a water filter system where your filtered water is dispensed through a separate drinking water filter tap or 3 way tap, then please look at our range of drinking water filters.
As UK water filtration experts, if you are unsure which of our home water filters is going to be right for you, then please call us on 01352 838 281 or send us a message via our helpdesk.
Mains water filters and whole house water filters are plumbed in to the rising main where water enters your house. They provide your household with filtered water in your kitchen and at other taps throughout your house should you want it; for example your bathroom or utility room.
Our whole house water filters are suitable for mains water supplies only. If you have a private water supply, your requirements will be different so please take a look at our Private Water filters page.
If you are unsure about what mains water filter you need and would like some advice, please call us on 01352 838 281 or send a message.
Any domestic water filtration system needs to be large enough to cope with the demands placed upon it.
If it’s too small, you’ll be very disappointed with the flow rate and pressure of your water.
Mains water filters operate at mains pressure and flow rate, as opposed to drinking water filters that run at no more than 4 l/pm.
A water filter system that treats your kitchen cold water tap only, such as our cold water tap filter Moby will be a smaller unit (H 38cm x W 30cm x D 18cm ) than a whole house water filtration system.
Whole house water filter systems are plumbed into your cold water supply just after the stop cock. The Doby is a good example of a larger (H 72cm W 30cm and D 18cm ) whole house system.
If your home has an 'open water system' (header tank and immersion heater) then one or more cold water filters from our Moby range will be the most beneficial or efficient to install.
We recommend a Doby whole house water filter if you have a 'closed water system' (no header tank or immersion heater).
Your home will benefit from a domestic water filter system in so many ways.
Fountain Filters helps people across the UK choose the best home water filtration system for themselves and their families.

You'll normally need to replace the water filter cartridge every 6-12 months depending on how much water is being used in your house. We send out email reminders every six months as a prompt for your to check the performance of your mains water filter.
Yes. Just take out the housing and join the two flexi's together with a 1/2" bsp nipple. When you get to your new house just purchase two new flexis and re-install your housing. It really is that easy.
No, you don't. You can install your mains water filter wherever the cold water supply enters your house. This could be a utility room, garage, or other location.
Once you've purchased your intial water filter system the ongoing running costs are cheaper than buying bottled water.
You can buy a whole home water filtration system for under £150. The price of our water filter systems varies depending on what you want to change about your water.
* Watts components are sometimes replaced with other similar quality items due to supply chain issues. Brassware and other plumbing accessories are sourced from UK suppliers.
What our customers have to say about us
Great 3-way tap, which was well packaged, with clear instructions. Our plumber commended the tap as good quality and easy to plumb in and connect to both water supply and under-sink filter. Looks brilliant in our new kitchen. Thanks to Fountain Filters for a helpful website and speedy delivery service.
Great product, simple to install including hints on common installation challenges which I did have and overcame instantly because of the care taken by the seller. Whole of house now has soft water without a noticeable drop in pressure. Has made a massive difference throughout.
It was a small but important order: replacement o-ring with silicon for my water filter housing. when I told them I had not received the articles after 7 days, they without fuss dispatched a replacement with the result I received the original and replacement 3 days later! Very responsive customer service.
After moving into a property with a fresh water supply, I turned to Fountain Filters for advice on replacing the water filter system. I purchased the Moby Twin Sediment System and it has been a worry-free system. Even changing the filters was far easier than the old system. Cannot fault this company on speed of service or quality of advice.
