FAQs

What specific water quality issues do Newcomb residents typically face?

Newcomb’s municipal supply is generally safe, but many homeowners notice chlorine odour, sediment from ageing pipes, occasional hardness, and trace metals such as iron and manganese. A professionally sized point-of-entry or point-of-use purification system removes these taste- and colour-affecting impurities, delivering clean, fresh-tasting water from every tap.

How does the great-tasting water plumbing system you install actually work?

We begin with a sediment pre-filter that traps rust, sand and scale. Water then passes through an activated carbon block that adsorbs chlorine, chloramines, pesticides and organic compounds responsible for bad taste or smell. Depending on the package you choose, an additional reverse-osmosis (RO) or ultrafiltration membrane can strip out dissolved salts, heavy metals and micro-plastics. Finally, a remineralisation cartridge adds back healthy calcium and magnesium so the water tastes crisp rather than flat. The entire unit is plumbed into your main line or under the sink and delivers up to 200 L per hour of purified water.

Which contaminants will the system remove or reduce?

• Chlorine & chloramine (up to 99 %) • Volatile Organic Compounds such as herbicides & pesticides (97–99 %) • Lead, mercury, arsenic & other heavy metals (95–98 % with RO module) • Micro-plastics, cysts and bacteria larger than 0.01 µm (99 %) • Sediment down to 5 µm (100 %) • Excess hardness scale when an optional softening cartridge is included

Do I really need reverse osmosis for Newcomb water, or are simpler filters enough?

If your main concern is chlorine taste, odour and fine sediment, a high-quality carbon block system is usually sufficient and more economical to run. However, households with compromised immune systems, private bore water, or concerns about fluoride and heavy metals often choose RO for its broad contaminant removal. We offer a free in-home water test so you can make an informed choice instead of over- or under-specifying equipment.

What maintenance is involved and how often should filters be changed?

Sediment and carbon cartridges require replacement every 6–12 months, depending on usage and water quality. The RO membrane or ultrafiltration module typically lasts 3–5 years. Our service team in Newcomb can enrol you in an automated reminder program and perform annual tune-ups that include sanitising housings, pressure-testing fittings and checking TDS (total dissolved solids) to confirm the system is still performing at peak efficiency.

Will a purification system affect my water pressure or utility costs?

A correctly sized system should have negligible impact on whole-of-house pressure—about a 3–5 psi drop that most users never notice. RO units waste some water during flushing, but modern high-efficiency membranes operate at a 1:1 or 2:1 purified-to-waste ratio, adding only a few dollars per quarter to the average Newcomb water bill. Carbon or sediment-only set-ups add no measurable cost and can actually prolong appliance life by reducing scale build-up.
