8.3
/ 10 FilterOut Score

Cloudtap is the only whole-home water filter in Perth actually manufactured here — not just assembled here, and not just designed here. ISO-certified production, Lead-Free WaterMark on all fittings (not just the main housing), and over 40 filter configurations including every Colourbond colour. If the Australian-made credential matters to you — either for ethical reasons or because you want to talk to someone who built the thing — Cloudtap is the only supplier who can honestly claim it.

📖 About Cloudtap

Cloudtap is the strongest "Made in Australia" story in our directory — and we use that phrase carefully. Their systems are designed, manufactured, tested, and shipped from an ISO-certified facility in Western Australia by a team with over 70 years of combined manufacturing experience. This isn't "assembled here with imported parts" — it's genuine local production.

Two product lines cover the market: the Design Series (premium, aesthetically-led, available in Colourbond standard colours plus bespoke custom colours) and the Essential Series (value-focused, same engineering). With 40+ filter configuration options, systems can be tailored for chlorine, chloramines, heavy metals, limescale, bore water, and rainwater tanks. Units arrive pre-assembled and pre-tested, reducing install time for plumbers.

The Lead-Free WaterMark certification on all components is a genuine differentiator — it confirms no lead leaching risk from any part of the installed system, not just the housing. Filtration reaches 0.5 microns — among the finest available in whole-house format. The Colourbond colour programme is unique in the market; systems can be colour-matched to Australian home exteriors.

✦ FilterOut Independent Scores
🏅 Certifications
8.0

Lead-Free WaterMark on ALL components — a higher standard than base WaterMark, confirming no lead leaching risk from any system hardware. ISO-certified WA manufacturing facility. All units pre-tested before shipping. Strong certification story for both product safety and manufacturing quality.

🔩 Install Experience
8.5

Pre-assembled and pre-tested design specifically minimises installation time — a genuine plumber-centric engineering decision. Comprehensive install kits included. Trained Cloudtap installer network. Review evidence positive; volume lower than established competitors as the brand is newer to market.

🔍 Transparency
8.0

Upfront pricing on website ($920–$4,595). Honest about filter configurations and what each targets. No in-home sales model. Lead-Free WaterMark detail published. Minor deduction: no WaterMark licence number displayed and no NSF numbers shown (though certifications are genuine and verifiable).

📞 After-Sales Support
7.5

Filter replacements available via website. Warranty registration process in place. The brand is relatively new to market (launched ~2024), so long-term after-sales track record is still building. The 70-year manufacturing heritage behind it provides confidence in long-term parts availability.

🎨 Aesthetics
9.5

Best-in-market aesthetics, unambiguously. Colourbond standard range plus bespoke custom colour matching is unique — no other supplier offers this. The Design Series is architecturally considered. Systems can genuinely match an Australian home's exterior palette rather than being an obvious utility add-on.

🇦🇺 Australian Made
9.5

Genuinely designed, manufactured, tested and shipped from a WA ISO-certified facility. 70+ years local manufacturing experience. Components and systems sourced and made locally. This is the strongest Australian-made story of any supplier in our directory — not "assembled here," manufactured here.

🔧 Filter Size & Compatibility
8.5

Standard filter housings used throughout the range — no proprietary lock-in sizing. 40+ configurations with different media available for specific water conditions. Replacement filters available via website and installer network. The breadth of filter options is the widest in the market.

💰 Cost of Ownership
8.0

System price $920–$4,595 covers the full market spectrum from entry-level to premium. Annual filter cost not explicitly listed online — confirm during purchase. Standard filter sizing means competitive aftermarket options available. Interest-free payment plans offered.

💧 Filtration Performance
8.0

0.5-micron filtration — finer than most whole-house systems. Tested to the same standards as national infrastructure water quality systems per website. 40+ configurations allow targeting specific contaminants. Scored from published specs and Lead-Free WaterMark certification — real-world AU testing not yet published.

⚡ Flow Rate
8.0

High-capacity, long-life filter design cited as a specific engineering goal. Pre-assembled units engineered for consistent flow. No specific L/min figure published. Standard filter sizing with high-capacity cartridges inherently reduces pressure impact. No flow complaints in available reviews.

How we score: Scores are based on independently sourced public data, published certifications, and review analysis. Criteria flagged in red contain concerns worth understanding before purchasing. Scores reviewed quarterly. Last updated February 2026.

Installer, Perth★★★★★

Pre-assembled unit made this the fastest install I've done. Everything came tested and the kit was complete. Under an hour. Customers love the colour options — finally a system that doesn't look like an afterthought bolted to the wall.

Homeowner, Perth★★★★★

Chose the slate grey Colourbond option to match our exterior and it looks completely intentional — like it was always meant to be there. Water quality improved noticeably within days. Team was responsive throughout.

Homeowner, Perth★★★★☆

Really happy with the Design Series. Looks premium, performs well. Slight delay on the installer booking but that's not the product's fault. Quality is excellent and water is clearly better.
