FAQs

What contaminants do under-sink filtration systems remove from Newcomb’s municipal water supply?

Our multi-stage cartridges are engineered to treat the specific chemistry of Newcomb’s Barwon Water supply. They typically remove chlorine, chloramines, sediment, rust, sand, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), lead, copper, micro-plastics, pesticides, and unpleasant tastes or odours. If you upgrade to our reverse-osmosis module, the system will also strip out fluoride, nitrates, PFAS, pharmaceutical residues and up to 99.9 % of dissolved salts, giving you bottle-quality water straight from the kitchen tap.

What is involved in the installation process and how long will it take?

A licensed Newcomb plumber will arrive with all fittings, drill a 12–13 mm hole in your stainless-steel, stone or composite benchtop for the dedicated purifier faucet, mount the filter housing to the cabinet wall, connect to the cold-water line with an AS/NZS-approved tee valve, flush the cartridges and test for leaks. Most jobs take 60–90 minutes with no need to disconnect the sink or cut existing pipes. We tidy up afterwards and give you a demonstration of filter changes and shut-off procedures.

How often do I need to replace the filters and what is the typical cost?

Standard carbon block and sediment cartridges last 12 months or approximately 8,000 litres for a family of four. Reverse-osmosis membranes last 24–36 months. Annual filter packs start at $85, while an RO service kit (sediment, carbon, membrane and post-carbon) is around $195. We send reminder emails, or you can join our auto-ship program with a 10 % discount and free local delivery within Newcomb 3219.

Will an under-sink filter reduce the water pressure at my kitchen tap?

No. The system is plumbed to a separate, lead-free purifier faucet that delivers 3–4 litres per minute—ideal for filling kettles and bottles—while your existing mixer tap remains at full mains pressure for washing dishes. If you select our direct-connect (single-faucet) option, pressure loss is typically less than 10 %, which most users do not notice.

Can the under-sink purifier also feed my fridge or ice maker?

Yes. We can run a 6 mm food-grade line from the filter’s outlet to your refrigerator, ice machine or coffee maker during the same visit. This eliminates the need for expensive OEM fridge filters and ensures the same high-quality water for ice and chilled dispensers. Please mention this requirement when booking so the plumber brings the extra fittings.

What warranty and after-sales support do you provide to Newcomb residents?

All housings, faucets and fittings carry a 5-year parts and labour warranty when installed by our licensed team. Cartridges are covered for manufacturer defects for their rated service life. You receive a stamped compliance certificate, maintenance log and 24/7 local phone support. If you experience leaks, unusual tastes or flow issues, we guarantee a free call-out within 48 hours anywhere in the 3219 postcode.
