Water Filtration
Fixing the water, not just the plumbing that carries it.
Water treatment is the corner of this trade with the worst reputation, and it earned it. The pitch usually involves a dramatic demonstration on your kitchen counter and a finance agreement.
We do it the boring way. We test your water, show you the numbers against the local supply report, and recommend the smallest system that addresses what the test found. Sometimes that is a single under-sink cartridge.
What we fit
- Independent water testing for hardness, iron, chlorine and pH
- Whole-house sediment and carbon filtration
- Ion-exchange softeners, correctly sized to the household
- Salt-free conditioners where softening is not wanted
- Under-sink reverse osmosis for drinking and cooking water
- Filtered and instant-hot faucet installation
- Annual cartridge service and system checks
Worth knowing
Why hard water matters here
It is not only about the shower. Hardness is the quiet reason plumbing gets expensive later.
- 01
It shortens water heater life
Scale settles at the bottom of the tank and insulates the burner from the water. The heater works harder, costs more to run, and dies earlier.
- 02
It kills cartridges
The faucet that drips six months after a good install is usually a hardness problem wearing out a ceramic cartridge, not a bad faucet.
- 03
It shows on every surface
Spotted glassware, film on tile, and the ring in the kettle. All the same cause.
- 04
The fix is sized, not sold
A softener that is too large wastes salt and water on regeneration. We size to the household, not to the biggest unit on the truck.
How this is priced
Testing is free with any other service call. Systems are quoted installed, with the annual service cost stated up front so you can see the real running cost before you commit.
- Flat rate, not hourly
- Quoted before we start
- No change without your say-so
Questions about this job
What people ask,
before they book this one.
Depends entirely on the test. Taste and odour complaints are usually solved under one sink. Scale, appliance damage and dry skin need treatment at the point the water enters the house.
Yes, though it carries added sodium. Most households on a softener also run a small reverse osmosis unit at the kitchen faucet, which is what we would do.
No. You buy it, you own it, and you can have it serviced by anyone you like. Rental contracts on water treatment are almost always a bad deal over five years.
