FAQs
What impurities can Guild’s state-of-the-art water purification system remove?
Our multi-stage system targets over 99 % of the most common contaminants found in municipal and well water. Stages include a spun-poly sediment pre-filter (dirt, rust, sand), catalytic carbon block (chlorine, chloramine, pesticides, VOCs), ion-exchange softening resin (calcium, magnesium), reverse-osmosis membrane (lead, arsenic, chromium, fluoride, nitrates, PFAS), and an optional UV-C reactor that neutralises bacteria, viruses, and cysts. Independent laboratory testing verifies each stage to NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, 58, and 55, ensuring your water is clean, clear, and great-tasting.
Can the purification unit be integrated with my existing plumbing without a major remodel?
Yes. Our designers use 3-D plumbing scans to map your current pipe runs and identify the best tie-in points. The compact purification manifold mounts on a single wall stud or a cabinet base and connects via quick-fit SharkBite or ProPress couplings, so in most homes we do not open finished walls. All fittings are lead-free brass and comply with UK Water Regulations and WRAS approvals. Typical retrofits take 2–4 hours, after which the unit supplies purified water to a dedicated tap or to the whole-house line, depending on your preference.
How often will I need to service or replace the filters?
Service intervals depend on water quality and consumption, but most households follow this schedule: sediment pre-filter every 6 months, carbon block every 12 months, softening resin recharge every 2–3 years, RO membrane every 3 – 5 years, and UV lamp annually. The system’s smart flow-meter tracks throughput and alerts you via the Guild mobile app and an on-unit LED when a cartridge nears end-of-life. All cartridges are tool-free twist-locks you can change in under five minutes, or you can subscribe to our annual maintenance programme and let a Guild engineer handle everything.
Is the system certified and safe for drinking water?
Absolutely. Every component in contact with water meets or exceeds NSF/ANSI, WRAS, and KIWA food-grade requirements. The complete assembly is pressure-tested to 10 bar and carries CE and UKCA marks. Our manufacturing facility follows ISO 9001:2015 quality management, and each unit is wet-tested before shipment. We also provide a performance data sheet (PDS) that lists contaminant reduction percentages validated by an accredited third-party laboratory.
What is the installation timeline and will my water be off during the process?
A standard under-sink or garage-mounted install usually takes one Guild technician half a day. Whole-house installs or those requiring a new bypass manifold can take a full day. Water is only shut off during the final tie-in, typically 20–30 minutes. We purge and sanitise the lines before restoring service, and all work areas are left clean. You’ll receive a digital commissioning report and a brief tutorial before we leave.
How much does the system cost and what long-term savings can I expect?
A typical point-of-use (kitchen) configuration starts at £795 installed, while a whole-house system ranges from £1,950 to £3,200 depending on capacity and options. Annual consumables average £60–£120. By replacing bottled water (£0.50 – £1/L) with purified tap water (≈£0.005/L), a family of four can save £400–£700 per year, meaning most systems pay for themselves within 2–4 years. Cleaner water also extends appliance life and reduces limescale, lowering maintenance costs on boilers, kettles, and dishwashers.
