Water Filter Installation

Water Filters Fitted

In this day and age, we’re all looking for ways to better care for and protect our family’s health and well-being. One easy-fix solution is the water we drink.

Instead of consuming Sydney tap water (which has been disinfected with chlorine and ammonia and boosted with fluoride) or bottled water (which is bad for the environment), locals are installing water filters to purify their H20.

The Rose Bay Plumbing team is skilled at installing water filters. It's one of the many comprehensive plumbing services we provide to people in the Eastern Suburbs. We can take care of the installation and repair (not that the latter is very likely if we’ve done the job in the first place!) and provide you with more information to help inform your decision-making. So if you’re currently trying to figure out which water filters in Sydney are best for you, give us a call.

Meanwhile, we hope the following helps you better understand the various water filter system options available.

Types of water filters

OK, if you want to install a water filter you have several options. Here are the more common solutions.

Reverse osmosis water filter (RO) system

We think this is one of the most effective whole-house water filter systems you can consider buying.

Water is prefiltered with a carbon and sediment filter before passing through a reverse osmosis membrane. This stage eliminates microscopic particles before sending water to a storage tank, where it is held until required. When you turn your tap on, water leaves the storage tank and passes through a final post-filter stage to give it one last clean.

This home water filter process removes salt, fluoride, sediment, arsenic, chlorine, herbicides, pesticides and volatile organic compounds.

What’s to love?

Space-saving design
Filters large volumes of water
Can filter the entire home
Customisable - include additional filtration stages and tailor the system to your specific concerns
Easy maintenance - replace filters annually

Undersink water filters

As the name suggests, this device sits under the sink and attaches to the cold water supply. This is particularly handy for small kitchen spaces that don’t have much free surface area. Filtering takes place at the point of entry typically using an RO system, as explained above.

What’s to love?

Continuous filtration
Convenient and space-saving storage
High filtration capacity
Multiple filtration stages

Water filter taps

A filtered water tap is designed to look like any other mixer, but with one outstanding feature - it purifies water, which is filtered as it flows through a cartridge under the sink (thanks to a water feed outlet and a filter).

What’s to love?

Typically more affordable than whole-house or under-sink alternatives
Customisable filtration options are available
Moving home? Take your tap filter with you!

Countertop water filter system

This device does what it says on the cookie tin, in that it sits on the benchtop and attaches to the mixer, filtering water automatically when the tap turns on.

What’s to love?

Easy installation
Typically more affordable than under-sink or whole-home alternatives
Great for renters - no permanent alterations are required
Portability - just take your device with you if you move home
Minimal maintenance

We hope this information helps you get your head around the right water filter system for your home. Just remember - we’re always here to offer advice so please call our team for a chat.

What is a water filter?

It is a device that removes impurities and contaminants from water. This is achieved by filtration, which either traps or removes bacteria and unwanted particles, leaving water cleaner and safer to consume.

What types of water filters are available?

There are several options of brands, models and systems on the market, including:

Carbon-activated (the carbon absorbs impurities such as chlorine, some chemicals and volatile organic compounds).
Reverse osmosis involves a semi-permeable membrane that can remove salts, heavy metals, fluoride and some bacteria.
Ultraviolet or UV, which can kill bacteria and some viruses.
Ceramic filters that remove sediment and bacteria.

You can select countertop, whole-house or under-sink filters.

what impurities can water filters remove?

The answer depends on the type and quality of the water filter. However, systems can remove, trap or kill bacteria, parasites, heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, sediment, volatile organic compounds and other chemicals, and some viruses.

Why do I need a water filter?

We’ve seen a growing number of Sydney clients request water filter installations in their homes. There are many reasons for doing so, including:

Peace of mind that the water they are consuming is as clean and free from impurities as possible.
Many clients comment that the water's taste and even the ‘softness’ improves once it is filtered.
Environmental reasons such as reducing their purchase of single-use plastic water bottles.

Can I install a water filter myself?

Complex water filtration systems typically require specialised tools and connections to the main water supply. Some warranty requirements stipulate that the installation must be undertaken by a professional. An accredited, insured plumber will take care of these considerations and ensure your filter runs perfectly without any teething problems.
