FAQs
What types of water purification systems do you install for Mascot homes and businesses?
We supply and install a full range of point-of-use and whole-of-house solutions, including activated-carbon under-sink filters, multi-stage reverse-osmosis (RO) units, UV disinfection lamps, sediment pre-filters, water-softening systems, and commercial-grade filtration banks. All products are WaterMark-approved for use in Australia, suited to Sydney Water specifications, and covered by manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
How do I know which filtration or purification system is right for my water quality?
Our licensed plumbers begin every project with a complimentary on-site water assessment. We test for chlorine, hardness, heavy metals, total dissolved solids (TDS), pH and bacteria. Based on the results, household size and flow-rate requirements, we recommend a tailored solution—ranging from a single cartridge chlorine filter for taste and odour, through to a multi-stage RO + remineralisation unit if you want near-bottled-water purity. We also factor in kitchen space, plumbing configuration and budget before finalising a proposal.
What is involved in installing a whole-house filtration system in Mascot?
Installation usually takes 3–4 hours. We shut off the mains, mount the filter housings—normally at the front boundary or in the garage—connect them to copper or PEX lines, purge air, pressure-test to 500 kPa and commission the unit. If UV disinfection is included, we provide a dedicated GPO to meet electrical standards. All work is performed by fully insured, NSW-licensed plumbers and tested in accordance with AS/NZS 3500. You’ll receive a certificate of compliance and a brief demo on filter changes.
How often do filters and membranes need to be replaced, and do you provide maintenance?
Filter life depends on water usage and quality, but as a rule of thumb: sediment cartridges every 6–12 months, carbon cartridges every 12 months, RO membranes every 2–3 years, and UV lamps annually. We offer scheduled maintenance plans that include reminder alerts, filter supply, on-site replacement, sanitising of housings and a post-service water test. Customers on a plan also receive priority call-outs and discounted parts.
Will a purification system remove chlorine, fluoride and other contaminants from Sydney’s water?
Yes. Activated-carbon filtration removes up to 99 % of chlorine and its by-products, eliminating taste and odour. Reverse-osmosis membranes reject 95–97 % of fluoride, heavy metals (lead, copper), pharmaceuticals and micro-plastics, while UV units neutralise 99.9 % of bacteria and viruses. We design multi-stage systems that target the specific mix of contaminants present in Sydney’s reticulated supply and provide laboratory test results on request.
How much does a water purification system cost in Mascot, and are there ongoing expenses?
Prices start at around $330 fully installed for a single under-sink carbon filter, $850–$1,200 for a premium reverse-osmosis unit, and $1,700–$3,500 for a whole-house two-stage filter with optional UV. Operating costs are mainly periodic filter, lamp or membrane replacements—typically $70–$150 per year for point-of-use systems and $180–$280 per year for whole-house units. Our quotes are fixed-price, include all plumbing materials, and we offer interest-free payment options for larger installs.
