Our Process

Professional Water Filter Installation Process

8 meticulous steps ensuring optimal filtration performance, proper integration, and long-term reliability

1

Water Quality Assessment

Test your water for contaminants, TDS levels, pH, hardness, and specific concerns. Review household consumption patterns and identify filtration priorities.

2

System Recommendation

Recommend filtration system based on water test results, household size, budget, and specific contaminant removal requirements. Discuss maintenance implications.

3

Site Preparation

Assess under-sink or installation space, verify cold water supply access, check clearances for filter housings, and identify optimal mounting locations.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.

7

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.

8

Maintenance Training

Demonstrate filter cartridge replacement procedure, provide maintenance schedule, label filter housings with installation dates, and offer ongoing service plans.

Advanced Technology

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.

Common Questions

Water Filter Installation FAQs

Everything you need to know about professional water filtration systems in Sydney

What contaminants does Sydney water contain that filtration removes?
Sydney water is treated and safe to drink, but contains chlorine for disinfection (affecting taste/odour), potential heavy metals from old pipes (lead, copper), sediment, fluoride, and trace chemicals. Quality multi-stage filters remove 95%+ of chlorine, heavy metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and sediment while preserving beneficial minerals, dramatically improving taste and safety.
How often do water filters need to be replaced?
Sediment pre-filters typically need replacement every 6 months, carbon blocks annually, RO membranes every 2-3 years, and UV lamps yearly regardless of use. Replacement frequency depends on water quality and household consumption. We provide clear maintenance schedules with installation and offer annual service plans including filter delivery, replacement, and system sanitisation.
Is a reverse osmosis system necessary or is carbon filtration enough?
For most Sydney homes, quality 2-3 stage carbon filtration effectively removes chlorine, taste, odour, and many chemicals. RO systems are recommended if you have concerns about dissolved solids, heavy metals, fluoride, or want maximum contaminant reduction. We test your water and recommend the appropriate system based on specific contaminants present and your filtration goals.
Do under-sink filters reduce water pressure at my tap?
Quality under-sink systems maintain excellent flow rates. Standard carbon filters typically reduce pressure minimally (0.5-1 bar drop). RO systems have dedicated storage tanks that provide good pressure at the filtered tap. We size systems appropriately and can add booster pumps if needed to ensure strong flow at all times.
Can water filters be installed if I rent my property?
Yes. Many under-sink systems are semi-permanent and can be removed when you move. We install inline filters that connect to existing taps without drilling, or dedicated filtered taps through unused sink holes. The work is professional and reversible. We provide documentation for landlords showing responsible improvements that increase property value without permanent alterations.
