Do you fit filters for tank water?

Yes. Plenty of homes around Maleny, especially on acreage outside town, run on rainwater tanks, and that changes what a filter has to do. On town water, a filter is mostly about taste. On tank water, it has to deal with everything that washes off the roof and settles in the tank. So a tank setup is usually more than one filter working in a row.

Plumbing for Maleny homes

A filter setup for tank water

A sediment filter catches the grit and leaf matter. A carbon filter after it takes out taste and smell. Many tank setups finish with a UV unit, which treats the water with ultraviolet light as it passes through.

You can filter the whole house where the water leaves the pump, or only the drinking water at the kitchen sink. A whole-house setup covers the showers and the washing machine too, but it costs more to buy and to run. Running costs come down to how many cartridges the setup takes and how often the maker says to change them.

Looking after tank filters

A tank setup has more parts to keep up than a single filter on town water. Sediment cartridges can clog faster after heavy rain stirs up the tank. If your setup has a UV unit, its lamp has to be replaced on the maker's schedule, even when it still looks like it's working. When we install your filters, we show you each cartridge, when it's due and how to change it.

Gas on bottles

If your cooktop or hot water runs on gas bottles, we connect, upgrade and disconnect gas appliances. If you're tired of ordering bottles, we can also change your hot water over to a heat pump or an electric system. When we install or change a gas appliance, you get the compliance certificate for that work.

Coming up to Maleny

Maleny and the properties around it are a longer drive from Buderim than our coast jobs, so it helps to plan ahead. Ring 0413 291 781 or send the quote form, and we'll give you a day and a time.

Send photos before we come: the filter or hot water system, the sticker on it, and the pipes around it. The sticker shows the model and often the date it was made. If the house is on acreage, add the gate code and the best place to park.
