FAQs
What types of water purification systems do you install in Mascot?
We supply and install a full range of advanced systems, including multi-stage whole-house filters, reverse-osmosis (RO) units, UV-C sterilisation lamps, under-sink activated-carbon cartridges, and hybrid softener/filtration combos. All equipment is certified to AS/NZS drinking-water standards and selected to address common Mascot water issues such as chlorine taste, fine sediment from older mains, and possible heavy-metal traces.
How does a whole-house filtration system differ from an under-sink filter?
A whole-house (point-of-entry) system treats every drop of water before it reaches your taps, showers, and appliances, protecting plumbing fixtures and providing purified water for bathing, cooking, and laundry. Under-sink (point-of-use) filters treat water at a single faucet—typically the kitchen—for drinking and cooking only. Whole-house units are larger, require more flow-rate capacity, and usually integrate several stages (sediment, carbon, and sometimes UV). Under-sink models are compact, less costly up-front, and easier to install, but they do not shield your entire plumbing network.
Can you test my home’s water quality before recommending a system?
Yes. Our licensed technicians perform on-site analysis measuring pH, turbidity, hardness, residual chlorine, lead, copper, and bacterial activity. We use portable digital meters and take lab samples when needed. The test results guide us in tailoring the right purification technology, ensuring you neither over-specify nor underspecify your system. The initial assessment is complimentary within the Mascot area when you book a consultation.
How often do filters or membranes need to be replaced?
Replacement intervals depend on water usage and quality. As a guideline: sediment pre-filters every 6–12 months, carbon cartridges every 12 months, RO membranes every 2–3 years, and UV lamps annually. Our installations include a maintenance schedule with reminder alerts, and we offer a convenient filter-change service so you don’t have to track dates yourself.
Are the purification systems environmentally friendly and cost-effective?
Absolutely. Modern RO membranes achieve up to 3:1 recovery ratios, reducing waste water, while our carbon and sediment cartridges are made from recyclable materials. By eliminating bottled water purchases, most households recoup installation costs within 18–24 months and prevent hundreds of single-use plastic bottles from entering landfill each year. In addition, scale reduction increases appliance efficiency, lowering energy bills.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
After the initial water test and system selection, we schedule an installation slot convenient to you. A typical under-sink unit takes 1–2 hours; a whole-house system with UV or softener modules usually requires 3–5 hours. Our plumbers shut off the water briefly, mount the filtration housings, connect inlet/outlet lines using WaterMark-approved fittings, pressure-test the system, and flush filters before commissioning. We leave your home tidy, provide a hand-over pack, and register your warranty on the spot.
