Perth Entrepreneur Goes After Clean Water For Homes

Perth-based serial entrepreneur Luke McAllister has launched Home Water to supply direct-to-consumer whole-home water filtration systems across Australia. After his initial success with his last venture that gained significant traction over the past year, an AI-powered platform that automates home improvement quotes to increase price transparency.

PERTH, October 27, 2026 – Perth serial entrepreneur Luke McAllister is expanding his push to reform traditional home improvement pricing across Australia through the launch of home water filtration company Home Water and the ongoing growth of his artificial intelligence platform, Instaa. Instaa, which has gathered more than 10,000 active users nationally and drawn interest from venture capital investors in the United States, operates as a bootstrapped business with a founder-estimated valuation of approximately A$20 million. Operating without external venture funding, McAllister’s strategy targets cost inefficiencies in residential trade markets to pass direct savings to Australian property owners.

Streamlining Residential Quotations with Autonomous AI Agents

For decades, obtaining accurate quotes for home improvements—including hot water installations, air conditioning, and general maintenance—has remained a time-consuming process for consumers. Homeowners typically must research local suppliers, contact individual businesses, reiterate project specifications, and manage follow-ups. Instaa (www.instaa.com.au) changes this dynamic by employing AI-powered bots to handle supplier outreach and request real commercial quotes directly on behalf of consumers.

Rather than functioning as a standard directory or automated estimation tool, Instaa’s platform utilizes AI agents to initiate contact with relevant service providers, collect localized quotations, and enable side-by-side comparison. This automated workflow reduces manual research time for homeowners while driving price transparency and promoting competitive bidding among regional providers. McAllister views AI agents as a foundational shift in how consumers interact with commercial suppliers for high-value home services.

Disruption in Whole-Home Water Filtration

While analyzing supply chain economics during the development of Instaa, McAllister examined specific home-improvement product categories, identifying notable inefficiencies in the whole-home water filtration market. His market assessment revealed a disconnect between retail pricing and product manufacturing costs, with consumers frequently paying inflated prices for filtration systems marketed as premium despite using standard components and housings.

Rather than acting as a reseller for established equipment, McAllister developed Home Water (www.homewater.com.au) to offer branded whole-home water filtration systems constructed around a low-overhead distribution model. Home Water delivers filtration systems designed to maintain rigorous quality standards without traditional retail markups, ensuring Australian households can access clean, filtered water at realistic prices.
