Do I have to book a free water consultation or can I order a filtration system immediately ? 

Booking a free water consultation is completely optional. It is just a hassle free service we provide to give you more information on what is flowing in your tap.

Water Quality and Taste
Will filtration improve the taste and smell of my tap water?

Yes. Our filtration products remove chlorine, chemicals, and other impurities that affect taste and eliminate odor.
How should I expect my water to taste after filtration? 

You should expect light, smooth, and neutral tasting water.
Do your filters remove microplastics?

Yes. our drip series are equipped with RO membranes that remove microplastics effectively making your water safe to drink.
Why does my TDS reading change over time?

 It is normal. TDS shifts with membrane age, usage, and changes in your water supply.
Does the system reduce Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)?

Yes. The RO membrane reduces TDS to around 20 to 30 ppm, giving you clean purified drinking water. For context, bottled water usually ranges from 100 to 150 ppm.
Installation and Maintenance
How long does installation take?

Around 1 to 2 hours depending on your piping arrangement and chosen filtration system.
How often do the filters need to be changed?

Pre-filters are usually replaced every 3 months. RO membranes last around 6 months. This may vary based on water quality and usage.
How will I know when it is time to replace my cartridges?

Reduced flow, taste changes, or your technician’s guidance are good indicators. We will also remind you to schedule a maintenance visit when the time is right.
Do I need to be home during maintenance?

Yes. The technician needs access to the system.
Does water quality affect how often I need replacements?

Yes. Areas with higher sediment or hardness may require more frequent changes.
