The WFW Triple 20" Big Blue with AntiScale Whole Home Water Filter System is a point-of-entry treatment system combining sediment filtration, dedicated scale-control treatment and carbon filtration for whole-house applications.
Water Filter World's current Anti-Scale system is designed as an alternative to conventional salt-based softening where the objective is to help control scale formation without using salt regeneration, backwashing or an electrically operated control valve.
The system also incorporates filtration stages intended to address sediment and carbon-treatment requirements before water is distributed through applicable household plumbing.
Reduces suspended material before water reaches the scale-control and carbon-treatment components.
WFW's scale-control process is designed to transform dissolved hardness minerals into microscopic crystal particles that remain suspended rather than readily attaching to plumbing surfaces.
Provides carbon treatment for chlorine, chloramines, unwanted taste, colour and odour within the operating specification of the supplied media.
Water Filter World describes its Anti-Scale system as a treatment solution for managing hard scale without the salt, brine tank and regeneration cycle used by traditional ion-exchange softeners.
The treatment process is intended to change how dissolved hardness minerals behave so they are less likely to attach to surfaces as hard scale.
WFW also states that the treatment can assist in gradually reducing existing scale deposits over time.
A traditional water softener exchanges calcium and magnesium ions for other ions using resin and periodically regenerates that resin using salt.
The WFW Anti-Scale system uses a different treatment approach and does not require that salt-regeneration process.
Water Filter World currently lists its Anti-Scale system for reduction or control of:
Treatment performance depends on the supplied media, incoming water conditions, flow and manufacturer operating limits. “Selected heavy metals” should not be interpreted as universal heavy-metal removal.
WFW specifically states that its Anti-Scale system requires relatively clean incoming water.
The sediment stage therefore plays an important role by reducing suspended particulate material before the water reaches the scale-control treatment.
Reduces suspended dirt carried through the incoming supply.
Helps reduce particulate rust before downstream treatment.
Provides mechanical filtration of suspended sand, silt and similar material.
Water Filter World specifically advises that its Anti-Scale system needs relatively clean influent water.
This is particularly important for bore water and other non-mains sources where dissolved or suspended water-quality issues may exceed the intended operating conditions of the scale-control media.
Water Filter World supplies a dedicated WFW Anti-Scale Carbon Filter as a replacement component for its Anti-Scale system.
The manufacturer currently lists the carbon replacement with an expected service period of approximately 6–12 months depending on water quality.
WFW lists chlorine treatment as one of the functions of the complete Anti-Scale system.
The manufacturer also lists chloramine treatment for the complete system.
These are also listed treatment functions of the current WFW Anti-Scale configuration.
Water Filter World's current replacement range identifies three service components specifically for its Anti-Scale system:
Replacement sediment component for the WFW Anti-Scale treatment system.
Replacement scale-control vessel for the dedicated AntiScale treatment stage.
Replacement carbon component, currently listed by WFW with a 6–12 month service period depending on water quality.
WFW's Anti-Scale system does not use the salt-regeneration process associated with a conventional water softener.
Water Filter World states that the Anti-Scale system does not require automatic backwashing and does not generate the wastewater associated with a regeneration cycle.
This is different from a backwashing media vessel or salt-regenerated softener.
The standard WFW Anti-Scale system does not require electricity for its filtration and scale-control process.
Water moves through the system using the property's existing mains or pump pressure.
A rainwater pump, bore pump or other powered water-supply equipment may still require electricity elsewhere in the installation.
Water Filter World lists its Anti-Scale system for a broad range of applications, including whole-house installations.
Central treatment before water is distributed through downstream plumbing.
WFW lists hot water systems, boilers and water heaters among its AntiScale applications.
Dishwashers, washing machines, ice makers and coffee machines are among the manufacturer's listed applications.
Water Filter World currently lists the standard Anti-Scale system at approximately:
Additional space should be allowed for pipework, isolation valves and future servicing access.
Water Filter World specifies its standard Anti-Scale system as suitable for under-cover installation without a stainless steel protective cover.
WFW separately offers a version with an Australian-made 316 stainless steel cover for installations requiring the protected outdoor configuration.

Whole-house flow should be assessed using the complete treatment system rather than the physical housing size alone.
Available flow can be affected by incoming pressure, sediment loading, scale-control media, carbon filtration, pipe diameter and fittings.
Inspect and replace according to sediment loading, system pressure drop and the condition of the installed filter.
Service or replace according to the applicable WFW replacement guidance and operating conditions.
WFW currently specifies approximately 6–12 months depending on water quality for its Anti-Scale carbon replacement.
Inspect O-rings and sealing surfaces whenever the system is opened for maintenance.
Reduced household flow can indicate increasing restriction through a loaded filtration stage.
Changes in iron, manganese or sediment levels should be investigated because WFW requires relatively clean incoming water.
Order the WFW AntiScale whole-house system for delivery to supported Australian locations where you already have a suitable installer.
Choose the standard uncovered WFW Anti-Scale system where the installation location provides suitable weather protection.
Professional installation may be available in eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas, subject to plumbing access and site requirements.
