Professional Water Filter Installation Process
8 meticulous steps ensuring optimal filtration performance, proper integration, and long-term reliability
Water Quality Assessment
Test your water for contaminants, TDS levels, pH, hardness, and specific concerns. Review household consumption patterns and identify filtration priorities.
System Recommendation
Recommend filtration system based on water test results, household size, budget, and specific contaminant removal requirements. Discuss maintenance implications.
Site Preparation
Assess under-sink or installation space, verify cold water supply access, check clearances for filter housings, and identify optimal mounting locations.
Supply Line Connection
Install isolation valve on cold water line, connect filter inlet with quality fittings, ensure proper orientation for filter housings, and verify all connections.
Filter System Installation
Mount filter housings securely, install filter cartridges in correct sequence, connect tubing with push-fit or compression fittings, and ensure proper sealing.
Tap or Dispenser Fitting
Install dedicated filtered water tap through sink or benchtop, or integrate with existing mixer tap. Ensure leak-proof connections and proper alignment.
System Flushing & Testing
Flush new filters for 10-15 minutes to remove carbon fines, test for leaks under pressure, verify flow rates, and conduct TDS testing before/after filtration.
Maintenance Training
Demonstrate filter cartridge replacement procedure, provide maintenance schedule, label filter housings with installation dates, and offer ongoing service plans.
Modern Water Filtration Technology & Features
We install the latest filtration innovations for comprehensive contaminant removal and superior water quality
Multi-Stage Carbon Filtration
Activated carbon blocks capture chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and chemicals while sediment pre-filters protect downstream stages from clogging, extending cartridge life significantly.
Reverse Osmosis Membranes
Semi-permeable RO membranes (50-100 GPD capacity) remove dissolved solids, heavy metals, fluoride, and salts through molecular-level filtration, achieving 90-95% contaminant reduction with proper pre-filtration.
UV Sterilisation Technology
Ultraviolet lamps operating at 254nm wavelength eliminate 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and cysts without chemicals or affecting taste, ideal for tank water or areas with microbiological concerns.
TDS Monitoring Systems
Total Dissolved Solids meters and digital monitors track filter performance in real-time, alerting when cartridge replacement is needed or when filtration effectiveness declines below acceptable levels.
Remineralisation Cartridges
Post-filtration stages add beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium back into RO-filtered water, improving taste, raising pH to optimal levels, and providing essential minerals for health.
NSF/ANSI Certification
We install only NSF/ANSI certified filter cartridges meeting rigorous standards for contaminant reduction claims, material safety, structural integrity, and consistent performance over rated capacity.
