A real person answers, day or night
Cleaner water starts further back than the tap
The glass on the benchtop gets judged on taste, but the real story begins well upstream in the supply run. We look at what your pipes are feeding the filter before recommending one, because plumbing history shapes the answer here more than any brochure. Call (02) 9072 0520 and we will talk it through honestly.
The plumbing history that decides your water quality
- Unrenovated cottages still run galvanised supply Federation-era homes that have never had their pipework renewed can shed rust into the water, showing up as staining at the tap and a taste no jug filter fully hides.
- Mixed housing stock means mixed water stories Detached houses, semis and the post-war brick flats all carry different supply runs, so the right filtration setup differs street by street.
- A filter is a diagnosis, not a default We test pressure and inspect what we can see before quoting, because sometimes the honest answer involves renewing a pipe section alongside the filtration.
Water filter services
From a single under sink cartridge to full-house treatment, the work below covers what most households need. Each setup is matched to your supply pressure, your cabinetry and the age of the pipework behind it.
Under sink filters
An under sink filter treats the water at one tap, and we fit the housing neatly under the cabinet, connect it to the cold supply with proper isolation, and set the dedicated outlet flush beside your existing sink mixer cleanly.
Whole house filtration
A whole house system treats every drop entering the property, protecting bathrooms, laundries and appliances alike, which suits older homes where corroding galvanised supply lines shed rust coloured sediment throughout the pipework rather than at a single tap.
Reverse osmosis systems
Reverse osmosis pushes water through a fine membrane that strips dissolved minerals, metals and tastes ordinary cartridges leave behind, and we install the unit, the storage tank and a separate benchtop outlet with everything sized and serviceable properly.
Servicing and cartridges
Filters do their job by clogging, so cartridges need changing on schedule, and we set up replacement intervals genuinely suited to your water and usage, then handle the changes, housing seals and pressure checks so nothing gets quietly forgotten.
What the water is like along the old streets
- Owner-occupied cottages on the Federation-era grid Tend to justify whole house treatment, because decades of internal pipe corrosion affect every outlet, not just the one used for drinking water.
- Units and walk-ups near the railway station Usually suit a compact under sink unit instead, since body corporate pipework sits outside your control and the kitchen tap is where quality is actually judged.
- Renovated homes with new tapware Pair beautifully with filtration, because a quality mixer deserves supply water that will not scale its cartridge early, a point we make often on kitchen and tap repair jobs.
Common water filter problems
Brown water after a cartridge change
Brown water returning after a filter change usually means a bypassed housing or a carbon cartridge shedding fines, and a proper flush procedure plus a correctly matched cartridge sorts it, though persistent rust traces back to the supply pipes.
Low flow after fitting
A filter that slows the kitchen tap dramatically points to an undersized housing on an old supply run, so we match flow rates to the pipework rather than bolting on a system the house cannot feed.
Leaks around the housing
Housings weep where plastic bowls sit on old galvanised fittings or where overtightened seals crack, and we refit with brackets, correct pressure ratings and isolation valves so the cabinet stays dry for years, not months.
Why acting on water quality matters
- Appliances live longer on treated water Scale and sediment shorten the working life of kettles, dishwasher connections and hot water systems, so filtration quietly protects thousands of dollars of household equipment.
- Taste you can trust daily When the water from the benchtop tastes clean, the bottled water habit and the jug refills stop, which saves money and packaging over a year.
- Small faults get found early A filter service doubles as a look at the supply run, and our maintenance plumbing visits catch corrosion and pressure issues before they become bills.
How it works
The installation process
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0520 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Fit and commission the system
Your plumber mounts the housing with proper brackets, connects it to the supply with isolation valves suited to older pipework, flushes the cartridges clean, pressure tests every joint and walks you through how the system runs.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Carlton
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Carlton works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
Water filter work covers Carlton plus the neighbouring suburbs of Allawah, Beverley Park, Kogarah Bay, Kogarah and South Hurstville, with the same fixed written pricing and licensed plumbers across the whole patch, wherever the supply run takes us.
Good questions, straight answers
Water filter questions the locals keep asking us
How much does a water filter installation cost?
Every install is priced as a fixed written quote before work starts, with the call out and assessment costing nothing, so you know the full figure before approving anything.
How long does fitting a filter take?
Most under sink installations are finished in a single visit, and whole house systems usually take a morning, with testing and a walkthrough of the new setup included.
Should I choose an under sink or whole house filter?
Under sink units treat one tap at drinking quality, while whole house systems protect every outlet, so the right choice depends on whether taste, appliance protection or both matter most.
How often do filter cartridges need changing?
Cartridge life depends on your water and usage, but most household filters need changing every six to twelve months, and we record your intervals so replacements happen before flow drops.
Do older pipes affect how well a filter works?
In homes still running original galvanised pipes, a filter improves what reaches the glass, but heavy rust indicates the supply lines themselves need renewal, which we assess before recommending anything.
Is the work licensed and guaranteed?
All filtration work is completed by licensed plumbers under licence #275278C and backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so the installation, the pipework connections and the workmanship are all covered.
