FAQs
What qualifications do your certified plumbing engineers hold for water purification services in Manchester?
All of our engineers are Gas Safe registered and hold Level 3 NVQ Diplomas in Plumbing & Heating. In addition, they are WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved and have completed specialist training with leading water-treatment manufacturers such as BWT and Pentair. These credentials ensure they can legally and safely design, install, and maintain drinking-water purification systems in domestic and commercial properties throughout Greater Manchester.
Which types of water purification systems do you install and service?
We supply, install, and maintain a full spectrum of solutions: point-of-use under-sink reverse-osmosis units, whole-house carbon and sediment filtration, UV disinfection systems, water softeners for limescale control, and commercial-grade purification plants. Our engineers will test your mains supply and recommend the right combination of technologies to meet local water-quality conditions and your specific usage patterns.
How long does a typical installation take and will my water be disrupted?
Most residential under-sink or countertop units take 2–3 hours to fit, while whole-house systems require 4–6 hours. For larger commercial projects, we schedule work in phases to minimise downtime. Your water supply is usually turned off for no more than 30 minutes at a time, and we always inform you before any interruption so you can plan accordingly.
What maintenance is required after installation?
To keep your purifier running efficiently, pre-filters need changing every 6–12 months and RO membranes every 2–3 years, depending on usage and Manchester water hardness. UV lamps should be replaced annually. We offer flexible service plans that include reminder notifications, scheduled visits, performance testing, and safe disposal of used cartridges. Regular maintenance not only preserves water quality but also extends equipment lifespan and upholds manufacturer warranties.
How much does a water purification system cost in Manchester?
Prices vary with capacity and technology: under-sink RO units start at about £350 including installation, while whole-house multi-stage systems range from £1,200 to £2,500. Commercial setups are quoted individually after a site survey. We provide transparent, itemised estimates that cover equipment, labour, and VAT, and we can spread payments over 6–12 months interest-free for approved customers.
Do you guarantee the purity of the treated water and the workmanship?
Yes. All systems are commissioned with on-site TDS, hardness, and microbiological tests to verify they meet or exceed UK Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) standards. You receive a commissioning certificate plus a 12-month workmanship guarantee. Many components, such as RO membranes and UV chambers, carry additional manufacturer warranties of up to five years. Should any issues arise within the guarantee period, a certified engineer will attend promptly at no extra charge.
