FAQs
What kinds of high-efficiency plumbing fixtures can you replace in Mascot homes and businesses?
We can supply and install a full range of Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) 4- to 6-star fixtures, including dual-flush toilets, low-flow showerheads, basin and sink mixer taps, sensor-activated taps, aerated kitchen faucets and water-saving urinals. If you have another specific product in mind, our licensed plumbers can advise on its compatibility and order it for you.
How much water – and money – can I expect to save by upgrading to high-efficiency models?
Savings vary by fixture, but Mascot residents typically see: • Toilets: Up to 50 % less water per flush compared with 3-star models (about 50 L saved per person per week). • Showerheads: 9 L/min or less versus older 15–20 L/min heads, reducing shower consumption by 30-40 %. • Basin/kitchen taps: Aerators cut flow from ~15 L/min to 6–7 L/min, saving roughly 20 % on total indoor water use. On a combined water and wastewater bill, most households recover the fixture cost within two to four years.
Will new high-efficiency fixtures fit my existing pipework and water pressure?
Yes. Modern WELS-rated fixtures are engineered for standard Australian plumbing sizes (½-inch BSP threads for taps, 40/50 mm waste outlets, etc.). During our free site inspection we check pressure, pipe diameter and trap configuration before recommending products, so you won’t experience reduced flow or need major pipe alterations.
How long does replacement take and will my water be off all day?
A single fixture swap (e.g., one toilet or showerhead) usually takes 1–2 hours. A whole-bathroom retrofit may take half a day, while multiple areas (kitchen, laundry, bathrooms) are often completed in one working day. We isolate only the relevant branch line, meaning most of your property will still have running water during the job.
Are there rebates or incentives in NSW for installing water-efficient fixtures?
Yes. Sydney Water’s WaterFix Small Business program and occasional residential rebate schemes provide partial subsidies for approved 4- or 5-star toilets, 4-star taps and 3-star showerheads. We’ll guide you through current eligibility criteria, supply the compliance paperwork and lodge the claim on your behalf so the rebate is deducted from your final invoice wherever applicable.
Will high-efficiency fixtures compromise performance or comfort?
Not at all. Advances such as pressure-compensating aerators, dual-flush siphons and water-air mixing technology maintain strong, consistent flow while using less water. All products we install are independently tested under AS/NZS 6400 and carry at least a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty, so you get full performance with lower utility bills.
