FAQs

What makes your water purification solutions eco-friendly compared with traditional systems?

Our systems use high-efficiency filtration media, low-waste reverse-osmosis membranes, and recyclable carbon cartridges that reduce plastic disposal by up to 70 %. We design each installation to minimize energy consumption by integrating pressure-assisted pumps and smart sensors that only operate when demand is detected. In addition, every component is lead-free and certified to NSF/ANSI sustainability standards.

Will an eco-friendly purification system lower my household’s water and energy bills?

Yes. By reclaiming back-flush water for non-potable uses and optimizing flow rates, our installations typically cut water wastage by 30-40 %. Energy-efficient pumps and on-demand UV disinfection modules consume roughly 60 % less electricity than conventional continuous-run units. Over a five-year period, most Guild homeowners recover the upfront cost through reduced utility bills alone.

How often do green filtration cartridges need to be replaced?

Eco-cartridges last 12-18 months—about twice as long as standard filters—thanks to higher media capacity and washable pre-filters that capture sediment before it reaches the main stage. We provide a service calendar and send digital reminders, and our technicians collect spent cartridges for responsible recycling during routine maintenance visits.

Are your purification systems compatible with rainwater harvesting setups?

Absolutely. We custom-size sediment pre-filters, carbon blocks, and UV or ultrafiltration stages to treat harvested rainwater to potable standards. The modular design lets us bypass mains water when your cistern is full, helping you maximize the use of free, naturally soft rainwater while staying compliant with Guild building regulations.

Do eco-friendly purification units require special permits or inspections in Guild?

Most residential installations fall under standard plumbing permits issued by the Guild Council. Because our systems meet WRAS and Building Regulations Part G guidelines, approval is straightforward. We handle all paperwork, schedule any necessary inspections, and provide homeowners with a completion certificate and water-quality test results.

What support do you offer after installation?

We include a three-year parts and labour warranty, biannual water-quality testing, and priority access to our 24/7 eco-plumbing helpline. Our technicians use digital monitoring to track system performance, schedule cartridge changes, and adjust settings remotely to maintain peak efficiency. Annual sustainability reports summarize water saved, energy consumption, and carbon offset so you can see the environmental impact of your system.
