Building with Burbank? Get your water filtration sorted before you move in.
Burbank has been building homes for Victorian families since 1983, and like them, we're a local business that cares about getting the details right. We're PureFlow Filtration, and we install whole-home water filtration across Melbourne, including the growth-corridor estates where Burbank builds.
If you're partway through a Burbank build, now is the easiest time you'll ever have to add a whole-home water filter. The plumbing is still accessible, trades are already coming and going, and the whole job is cleaner and simpler than it will be once you've settled in. We make it straightforward, with no pressure and no jargon.
Why during the build beats after move-in
After you've moved in, fitting a filter means working around a finished home: established gardens, a poured driveway, sometimes opening up plumbing that's already closed in. We handle those retrofits all the time and they go smoothly. But there's no getting around the fact that doing it as part of the build is neater, faster, and usually lighter on labour cost.
The other upside is timing. Sort it during the build and your first glass of water in your new Burbank home is already filtered, instead of waiting months to get to it.
A note on new estates and sediment
Burbank builds a lot of homes in Melbourne's newer estates, where roads, mains and surrounding lots are often still going in. Water in a freshly developed area can pick up more sediment than you'd find in an older suburb, simply because new pipework is being laid and connected close by. And brand-new internal plumbing can shed a small amount of material when it first gets used.
That doesn't make the water unsafe. Melbourne's tap water is among the best treated in the world. But when you're already building, filtering water as it enters the home is sensible future-proofing, particularly in an estate that's still being built out around you.
We know the specs, and we'll talk to your builder
Builders are rightly fussy about what goes onto their sites, and Burbank is no exception. Our whole-home system is made to drop cleanly into a new build and be installed by a licensed plumber, and we've got the documentation to satisfy any site supervisor.
Here's what your builder will want to confirm, on a single page:
- WaterMark certified (WM080127), meeting Australian plumbing standards
- Compact footprint: 575mm x 215mm x 755mm (20" model), so it sits neatly in a garage or against an external wall
- Standard pressure range: designed for 200 to 800 kPa inlet pressure, in line with normal mains supply
- Always installed by a licensed plumber, exactly as a new build requires
We've put it all into a one-page spec sheet that's easy to hand over.
Two ways to get it done
Option 1: Send it to your builder yourself.

What you're actually getting
Our whole-home filter treats water the moment it enters your house, so every tap, shower, kitchen and laundry gets the benefit. The four-stage system filters down to 0.5 to 1 micron and reduces chlorine, sediment, heavy metals and the minerals behind scale buildup. It's a premium stainless steel unit built for Australian conditions, backed by warranty, and fully relocatable if you ever move on.

FAQs
Can I get a water filter installed while my Burbank home is being built?
Yes, and the build is the ideal time, while the plumbing is open and trades are on site. Contact us as early as you can so we can line up the timing properly.
Is it cheaper to do it during the build than afterwards?
Generally, yes. Retrofitting around a finished home, landscaped garden and sealed driveway adds time and labour. Doing it as part of the build keeps it simpler and usually cheaper.
Will it affect my Burbank warranty?
A whole-home filter goes onto your incoming water line and is fitted by a licensed plumber. It doesn’t touch your builder’s structural work. We always suggest checking with your builder, and we’re glad to talk to them directly to clear up any questions.
Do I need to organise this with Burbank, or can you?
Whichever suits you. Forward our spec sheet yourself, or give us your builder’s details and we’ll coordinate the install directly. Your call.
What if my Burbank home is already finished?
That’s completely fine. We retrofit whole-home filtration into finished homes all the time, and the result is exactly the same: clean water at every tap.
