Drinking Water Filter Installation

Drinking water filter installation gives you better-tasting water at the tap while helping cut down on limescale and impurities that can affect kettles, coffee machines and pipework. The service covers selecting a suitable under-sink or inline filter for your water supply, fitting it safely, and leaving you with clear guidance on use and future filter changes.

More information

What drinking water filter installation covers

A practical, end-to-end installation that improves water quality without guesswork. Depending on your setup, the service can include:

  • A quick assessment of your water supply, space and usage
  • Advice on the right type of filter (under-sink, inline, dedicated drinking tap)
  • Safe isolation of the water supply and pipework preparation
  • Neat installation with secure fittings and correct flow direction
  • Leak checks, flushing and commissioning of the system
  • Guidance on filter replacement intervals and ongoing care

When this service is a good fit

This is ideal if you want cleaner-tasting water without relying on bottled water, or if limescale is causing frequent issues.

Common reasons to install a filter include improving taste and odour, reducing sediment, protecting appliances, or providing filtered water in a kitchen, rental property or small workplace.

How the installation works

You will agree the filter type and position before any work starts. The system is then fitted to suit your cupboard space, pipework and water pressure, with checks to make sure everything is sealed, supported and working correctly.

Most installations are completed in a single visit, provided access to the pipework is straightforward.

Aftercare and ongoing value

You will be shown how to use the system and what to expect in the first few minutes of running (such as flushing). You will also get clear advice on when the cartridge needs changing and what signs suggest it is due.

If you want ongoing support, you can arrange periodic checks or filter replacements to keep performance consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of water filters can you install?
Most homes suit an under-sink cartridge system feeding a dedicated drinking tap or an inline filter to a specific outlet. The best option depends on space, water pressure and what you want to improve, such as taste, sediment or limescale.
Do I need a separate tap for filtered water?
Not always. Many systems use a small dedicated drinking water tap, while others can be installed inline to supply a particular appliance or outlet. You will be advised on the neatest and most practical setup for your kitchen.
Will a water filter reduce my water pressure?
A correctly sized filter should not cause a noticeable drop at the filtered outlet, but some restriction is normal. Water pressure and flow are considered when choosing the filter and position to avoid poor performance.
How often do filters need changing?
It depends on the cartridge type and your water usage, but many need replacing every 6 to 12 months. You will get clear guidance on the expected interval and what changes in taste or flow can indicate it is due.
Can you install a filter I have already bought?
Often yes, as long as it is suitable for UK plumbing connections and the intended use. The setup will be checked for compatibility, safe installation, and access for future cartridge changes.
