FAQs

What types of water purification systems do you install in Manchester homes and businesses?

We supply and fit a full range of systems including whole-house carbon filtration, under-sink reverse-osmosis (RO) units, UV disinfection lamps, water softeners for Manchester’s moderately hard mains supply, and bespoke multimedia filters for commercial or industrial applications. Our engineers will test your incoming water and recommend the most appropriate combination to meet drinking-water, process-water or limescale-control requirements.

How long does a typical water treatment project take from survey to commissioning?

For a domestic installation, the timeline is usually 7–10 working days: 1–2 days for the initial water analysis and quotation, 3–5 days for ordering specialised components, and 1 day on site for the actual plumbing and commissioning. Larger commercial or industrial projects can span 2–6 weeks, depending on flow-rate, plant size, and any building-services integration work that may be needed.

Do your systems comply with UK and local Manchester water regulations?

Yes. All equipment is WRAS-approved or BS EN certified, and our installation practices follow the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 as enforced by United Utilities in the North West. We handle the notification forms required for Category 5 backflow protection, RPZ valves, and any cross-connection controls, giving you full regulatory compliance and audit documentation.

How often will my water purification system need servicing?

Service intervals depend on usage and water quality, but as a guide: carbon block filters should be changed every 6–12 months, RO membranes every 2–3 years, UV lamps annually, and softener resin cleaned or replaced after 8–10 years. We offer tailored maintenance contracts with scheduled visits, performance checks, and 24-hour call-out cover within Greater Manchester.

What running costs should I expect?

Running costs generally include replacement cartridges, energy for pumps or UV lamps, and occasional resin or membrane changes. A typical three-stage under-sink RO system costs around £60–£90 per year to maintain, while a standard metered softener uses about £1–£2 of salt per person per month. We provide a full cost-of-ownership breakdown upfront so there are no surprises.

Can you integrate purification equipment with existing plumbing without major disruption?

Absolutely. Most domestic units connect to your main cold feed or a dedicated 15 mm spur; commercial systems can be manifolded into existing plant rooms. We use flexi-hoses, isolation valves, and by-pass loops so water is only off for a short period (typically under an hour). All pipework is pressure-tested and insulated, and we leave the site clean and fully operational the same day.
