FAQs
What makes Speedwell Plumbing’s filtration systems “cut-edge” compared with ordinary water filters?
Our solutions combine three advanced technologies in a single, compact unit: (1) a high-capacity sediment pre-filter that traps particles down to 5 µm, (2) an NSF-certified catalytic carbon block that removes chlorine, chloramine, pesticides and micro-plastics, and (3) a 0.0001 µm reverse-osmosis or nano-filtration membrane for dissolved metals, PFAS and pharmaceutical residues. A built-in smart flow meter tracks usage and alerts you via a mobile app when service is due, while medical-grade stainless manifolds prevent bacterial growth and ensure decades of corrosion-free performance.
How does the system treat the specific contaminants found in Speedwell’s municipal and well water?
Speedwell’s public reports show moderate hardness, elevated manganese and seasonal chloramine spikes. Private wells in the area occasionally test high for iron, sulfur and agricultural nitrates. Our multi-stage design addresses each issue: the pre-filter removes iron particulates, the catalytic carbon converts chloramine and adsorbs sulfur compounds (eliminating odor), and the membrane rejects dissolved manganese, nitrates and hardness-causing ions. Post-treatment remineralisation adds a balanced blend of calcium and magnesium so the water tastes crisp rather than flat.
Do I need professional installation, and what does the plumbing work include?
Yes. Because the purifier ties into your main cold-water line and includes an automatic shut-off valve and dedicated drinking water faucet, we recommend installation by our licensed Speedwell Plumbing team. A typical visit lasts 2–3 hours: we isolate the main, mount the filtration manifold, run ⅜-inch PEX to the sink or refrigerator, install a compact 2-gallon storage tank (if RO is chosen) and pressure-test all joints. No cabinetry modifications are required, and systems fit under almost any 24-inch kitchen base unit.
What routine maintenance is required and how will I know when to perform it?
For most households the sediment and carbon cartridges are replaced every 6–9 months, while the membrane lasts 3–5 years. The smart meter records gallons processed and pushes alerts to your phone at 80 % of each component’s capacity. You can schedule a low-cost service call or order genuine cartridges online and do a simple twist-and-lock swap in under five minutes—no tools, no leaks.
How efficient is the system—does it waste water or use a lot of electricity?
Our latest reverse-osmosis core operates at a 2:1 recovery ratio, meaning only one litre of brine is produced for every two litres of purified water—among the best in class. If you select the nano-filtration option, recovery improves to 3:1. The circulation pump draws just 28 W while running and shuts off automatically once the tank is full. Annual electricity cost averages less than £6 in a typical Speedwell home.
Are the units certified and what warranties or local compliance assurances do you provide?
Every model carries NSF/ANSI 42, 53 and 58 certifications for contaminant reduction and is WRAS-approved for use in the UK. We register each installation with Wessex Water for back-flow compliance and provide a 10-year warranty on the stainless manifold, 5 years on electronics and 1 year on cartridges. If you move within Speedwell, we’ll relocate the system free of charge during the warranty period.
