FAQs
What kinds of contaminants can your water-purification systems remove from Newcomb’s town-water supply?
Our multi-stage filtration and purification units are designed to target chlorine, sediment, rust, micro-plastics, heavy metals such as lead and copper, agricultural chemicals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and microorganisms including Giardia and Cryptosporidium. By combining sediment pre-filters, activated carbon, KDF media, and optional UV sterilisation, we tailor the system to address the specific quality issues found in Greater Geelong’s reticulated water.
Do I need a whole-house filtration system or will an under-sink purifier be enough?
It depends on how you use water in your home. A point-of-use under-sink purifier is ideal if you primarily want clean, great-tasting water for drinking and cooking. A whole-house (point-of-entry) solution treats every tap, shower, and appliance, protecting plumbing fixtures and your skin from chlorine and sediment while preventing scale build-up. During our free on-site water assessment we measure flow rate, test for contaminants, and discuss usage patterns to recommend the right size and type of system.
How often will I need to replace filters or service the unit?
Most sediment and carbon cartridges require replacement every 6–12 months, or after treating their rated capacity (usually 30,000–50,000 litres for an under-sink system). KDF and scale-inhibition media last 2–3 years, while UV lamps are changed annually to maintain germicidal intensity. We log your installation date and send service reminders, and our local Newcomb technicians carry all genuine filters on their vans so the swap-over is quick and mess-free.
What is involved in the installation and how long does it take?
For an under-sink unit, we mount the filter housing, run a dedicated purified-water line, and fit an elegant, lead-free faucet. This takes about 1.5 hours with minimal disruption. Whole-house systems are installed at the main water entry point; we fit a bypass, pressure-relief valve, and isolation taps, pressure-test, and sanitise the line. Allow 3–4 hours. All work is performed by our licensed plumbers to AS/NZS 3500 and WaterMark certification standards.
Will a filtration system reduce my water pressure?
Properly sized systems matched to your home’s flow rate cause only a negligible pressure drop—typically 2–4 psi for under-sink units and 4–6 psi for whole-house filters. We select housings with larger ports and low-restriction media, and we always test post-installation to ensure showers, dishwashers, and outdoor taps operate normally. If your incoming pressure is already low, we can incorporate a booster pump or choose high-flow commercial-grade cartridges.
How much will a professional water-purification setup cost in Newcomb and is there a warranty?
Under-sink twin-stage systems start from $485 installed, while premium reverse-osmosis units range between $850 and $1,200. Whole-house multi-stage systems typically cost $1,650–$2,900 depending on capacity, valve automation, and optional UV sterilisation. All units come with a 10-year structural housing warranty and 12-month workmanship guarantee. Filters and lamps are consumables but are backed by manufacturer defect warranties. Flexible ZipPay and interest-free payment plans are available for approved customers.
