Starting point
Ring or send the form. A licensed plumber comes out at no charge, looks at the kitchen and at where the water comes in, and leaves you with a written price on the spot. You owe nothing for the visit.
Why the cupboard is the whole conversation in Willagee
Willagee began as a housing estate — Willagee Park, created by the State Housing Commission — and a good share of the original stock is still standing among the rebuilds and extensions.
The relevance to filtration is not romantic, it is dimensional. Houses from that programme were built compact and their kitchens were built compact with them. Where the original kitchen is still in place, or where a renovation kept the same footprint, the cupboard under the sink is smaller than the one a filter manufacturer had in mind for a photo on a box.
That is the thing to sort out before anything is ordered:
A cartridge housing needs clearance underneath
Not just its own height — clearance below it, because the bowl has to come down past the cartridge to change it. A unit mounted too low works perfectly right up until the first service.
The cupboard is not empty
Waste trap, dishwasher hose, bin, and whatever else has accumulated. A filter has to share.
Reverse osmosis wants noticeably more room again
, because of the storage tank that comes with it. In a compact kitchen that is often the deciding factor, and it is better to know at the quote than after. What reverse osmosis needs
None of this means a filter will not go in. It means the plumber measures properly at the free visit, and if the unit you had in mind genuinely will not work there, you get told and you get an alternative. Under sink water filter installation
The other Willagee job
Where the block has been redeveloped or the house extended, we are usually looking at a newer kitchen, a stone benchtop, and a household asking about a dedicated filtered tap.
That one turns on whether there is a spare hole in the benchtop. Kitchens that once had a soap dispenser or a different tap arrangement often have a redundant hole under a blanking cap, and that is the quick version of the job. Where there is not one, stone gets drilled — a careful, deliberate job that belongs on the quote rather than on the day. Filtered tap installation
What we install here
Under-sink filtration
The main job here, and the cheapest way to fix the taste of what you drink. Under sink installation
A dedicated filtered tap
Its own spout beside the mixer, so the cartridge only works when you want filtered water. Filtered tap installation
Whole-house filtration
At the meter, so the shower and laundry run filtered too. Whole house installation
Cartridge replacement
For the unit that went in years ago and has not been serviced since. Cartridge replacement
What a filter is actually for
Water Corporation adds chlorine to all of its water supply schemes as a disinfectant, and says it is especially effective where long pipelines and high water temperatures increase the potential for harmful organisms to grow. The taste that comes with it is what most households are fitting a filter to remove.
The supply is treated. We are not going to suggest otherwise in order to sell you something bigger.
