INSIGHTS: WATER FILTERS
What are some common water filter problems?
Your Pro Plumbers install water filters right across Sydney and have plenty of experience with a range of models. Common problems we see are:
Low-quality water
Bad tasting water
Dirty water
Low pressure from your filtered water
If you’re experiencing any of these problems with your water filter, contact Pro Plumber for a free quote to get it fixed or replaced in no time. Scroll down and read through a bunch of helpful tips and insights into water filters and some of the issues you might experience.
Water filter basics
The most common household water filters use what is known as activated carbon granules, sometimes called active carbon or AC for short. This is based on charcoal (a very porous form of carbon, made by burning something like wood in a reduced supply of oxygen).
Charcoal can be best described as something between the graphite “lead” in a pencil and a sponge. It has a huge internal surface area, packed with nooks and crannies, that attract and trap chemical impurities through a process called adsorption (where liquids or gases become trapped by solids or liquids).
When should I change my water filter?
We are often asked, ‘how often should I change a water filter?’. The quick answer is water filters need to be changed periodically, as the filters are capturing particles and there is a limit to the amount a filter can hold. How often is entirely dependent on how much water you consume.
Specifically, we need to take into account the number of litres flowing through your system and the period of time that the filter has been in the unit. At a maximum, nearly all systems require filter cartridges to be changed at least every 12 months. This ensures optimal performance and quality of drinking water. Keeping in mind the volume rule, the more you drink, the sooner you’ll need to change the filter.
Installing a new water filter
Installing a water filter system is a great way to improve your families health & well-being and at the same time save money on buying bottled water. Of course, there’s a global benefit – we help reduce the levels of plastic bottles that end up in landfill.
There are a lot of different water filters on the market and choosing the one that’s right for your family really just comes down to spend versus performance. While there are minor differences between brands and models, the good news is they all do the same thing more or less and, at a certain level, the results are the same.
Plumbing-in your filter is an easy job for your Pro Plumber. We’ll knock it over in no time at all. Of course, you can try and do it yourself too. Each filter comes with varying degrees of install difficulty. If you find yourself stuck after starting, don’t hesitate to contact us. You’d be surprised at the number of call-outs we get where people have tried to do their own plumbing and gotten in a little deeper than they’d anticipated (sometimes literally!)

Fixed, Same Day
We had water leaking throughout our bathroom. Chris, the Pro Plumber, came out for free and was able to work out where it was coming from within minutes. They fixed the problem and were done the same day.

Highly Recommended
I found Pro Plumber on Facebook and messaged them for a quote to renovate my bathroom. Chris was friendly, professional and did a great job. We’re really happy with the result and highly recommend Pro Plumber to all our friends and family now.

Clean, quick and no hassle
These guys are great! Can’t recommend them highly enough. Such nice people and get the job done properly. They’re clean, quick and no hassle to deal with. The best thing was, I knew exactly what the job would cost me before they did the work. Nice not to have any financial surprises. My last experience with a plumber was horrible. I’ll definitely use Pro Plumber again.
L. Ward
Fixed my blocked toilet
I called Chris from Pro Plumber for a quote to fix my blocked toilet. He was at our place the same afternoon and fixed the toilet in no time at all. He then offered a free inspection of the rest of my bathroom plumbing and found an issue with the drainage system. We booked in a return visit within days and he fixed that too. Such a great service and not as expensive as I thought it would be.
