Understanding what you cannot see

What is really in your water?

Water is essential for life, but what is in your daily supply is not always visible to the naked eye. Town water is disinfected with chlorine, which leaves taste and odour behind, while sediment, rust and scale particles travel through ageing pipes into every tap.

What contacts your skin in the shower is as much a part of your daily exposure as what you drink. A whole-home filtration system treats water where it enters your home — one of the most impactful things you can do for your family’s everyday water quality.

Benefits

The four benefits of pure water

For your family, your home and your future.

01Health
Happiness begins with good health

Whole-home carbon filtration reduces chlorine, chemical tastes and odours, plus VOCs and pesticides — cleaner, fresher water for your family from every tap.

✓Chlorine reduction
✓VOC reduction
✓5 μm filtration
02Beauty
Because you are beautiful

Your skin absorbs what it contacts. Filtered whole-home water means a gentler shower — softer-feeling skin, less irritation and healthier-looking hair.

✓Softer skin
✓Better hair
✓Less irritation
03Home
Protection for pipes and appliances

Sediment, rust and scale particles wear on your pipes, dishwasher, washing machine and hot water system. Filtering at the point of entry protects them all.

✓Sediment protection
✓Longer appliance life
04Environment
A cleaner choice for our planet

Every household switching from bottled water to whole-home filtration eliminates thousands of single-use plastic bottles annually — a simple choice that adds up.

✓Less plastic
✓Lower cost
✓Lower footprint
Component breakdown

Inside the FHWR-3S1-20

Three groups of components: the enclosure and frame, the housing and fittings built to last, and the three stages of 5 micron filtration.

Enclosure and frame
1

Tool-free cover clip

  • ·Hold-and-press clip: no screws, no tools, no screw corrosion.
2

Fully enclosed design

  • ·Protects the gauges, with a dedicated recess for the housing wrench.
3

Stainless steel cover

  • ·Durable, UV-protective and corrosion-resistant, with a sleek modern finish.
4

Stainless steel frame and reinforcement plate

  • ·Prevents pipe breakage during filter changes; tougher than plastic-only frames.
5

Back cover — included

  • ·For ground mounting, fully enclosing the housings.
  • ·Included as standard.
Built to last
1

Stainless steel and glass gauge

  • ·Built for longevity, with UV protection and anti-corrosion features.
2

Stainless steel connector

  • ·Heavy-duty for higher water pressures and more resilient than plastic.
  • ·Anti-corrosion property prevents secondary contamination.
3

Double O-ring

  • ·Dual seals for added leak protection and less water wastage.
4

Full-size 20 × 4.5-inch housing

  • ·Double the water contact surface, extending filter life.
  • ·Food-grade material and no restrictive fittings.
Three stages of 5 micron filtration
1

PP-CC sediment + carbon composite

  • ·5 μm
  • ·Traps sand, rust, silt and scale particles, starts chlorine reduction and protects the carbon blocks for longer filter life.
2

CTO carbon block

  • ·5 μm
  • ·Dense coconut shell granular activated carbon for strong chlorine, taste, odour and chemical reduction, with extended contact time.
3

CTO carbon block — second carbon stage

  • ·5 μm
  • ·Coconut shell granular activated carbon captures remaining chlorine, taste and odour in a second carbon pass. Sets the system’s 5 μm nominal filtration.
Maintenance

Filter change schedule

Three filters on two different intervals. The sediment stage works hardest and is replaced most often. Intervals are based on standard test conditions.

StageFilterRatingChange interval
Stage 1
PP-CC sediment + carbon composite
Replaced most often, as it captures the coarse sediment that would otherwise shorten the life of the carbon blocks.
5 μm6–12 months
Stage 2
CTO carbon block
Dense coconut shell activated carbon with extended contact time.
5 μm12–18 months
Stage 3
CTO carbon block — second carbon stage
A second carbon pass that sets the system’s nominal filtration.
5 μm12–18 months

No tools required for filter changes

The FHWR-3S1-20 uses a simple hold-and-press clip mechanism with dedicated filter access space. Easy maintenance, no screws, no specialist tools required — and the filter-housing wrench is stored inside the enclosure.

What affects the interval

Replace sooner if flow drops, the gauge gap widens or taste returns. Intervals are based on standard test conditions, so a supply with high sediment or heavy household use may need filters changed earlier.

Changing at these intervals with genuine ECONOVA filters is also what keeps your lifetime warranty active — see the warranty condition.

FAQ

Common questions

About the EcoPure FHWR-3S1-20.

It filters water at the point where it enters your home, so every tap, shower and appliance receives filtered water. That is different from a point-of-use filter, which treats only one outlet such as a kitchen tap.
