Cleaner water from every tap, without the bottled water habit
Bottled water costs a fortune, chews through plastic and still gets carried home from the shops in your arms. A properly plumbed system does the same job once, quietly, inside your own cabinet.
Filtration in a suburb of tight cabinets and tall towers
Fitting a filter here is mostly a space and supply problem, and we plan for both before we quote.
- Cabinet space is scarce Units built around the station precinct, from the 1999 Forum complex onward, often share their undersink cavity with a dishwasher or a waste disposal, so we measure the housing, tank and clearances first and only recommend a system that genuinely fits.
- Benchtops need a clean hole Composite and stone benchtops through the newer towers need careful drilling, and we confirm the sink configuration before install day so the dedicated tap lands where it looks deliberate, not bolted on.
- Older cottages, older pipe The pre-1940 homes on the southern streets can shed scale from ageing supply lines, which is exactly the case for a sediment pre-filter sitting ahead of the drinking cartridge.
Our water filter services
Core services, each handled end to end by our plumbing team: we assess your water and your pipework, recommend honestly, install neatly, and leave you with a cartridge schedule that keeps the system performing for years:
Undersink filtration
An undersink system tucked inside the cabinet delivers filtered water through a dedicated tap, and we size the cartridge housing to the compact under-bench clearances common in apartments near the station before fitting, flushing and pressure testing the complete assembly.
Whole-house filtration
A whole-house unit installed at the meter treats every outlet, protecting shower glass, appliances and skin from sediment, and it suits the freestanding Federation homes where older supply pipework can still carry scale through to each tap.
Reverse osmosis systems
Reverse osmosis filtration pushes water through a fine membrane that strips dissolved solids, heavy metals and off-tastes, and we fit the storage tank and dedicated faucet into tight cabinets, then carefully test flow rates and check the waste connection thoroughly.
Cartridge replacement and servicing
Cartridges clog on schedule rather than warning you, so we set a replacement rhythm matched to the way your household actually uses water, stock the common sizes on the van, and leave the housing easy to service without dismantling the cabinet.
The tenancy turnover problem
The university and TAFE campuses pull students and short-term professionals into the local rental stock, and filtration systems get sold with the apartment and quietly forgotten.
- A saturated cartridge is worse than none Once it stops filtering, it can start shedding what it captured straight back into the water you drink.
- The pattern repeats block by block We see it most between the station and the commercial strip, where a system installed years ago still runs its original cartridge.
- Scheduled changes fix it without fuss Our maintenance plumbing service covers filter swaps, and one visit a year keeps the under-bench setup honest.
Just moved into a place with an unknown filter already plumbed in? We identify the housing, replace the cartridge and tell you plainly whether the system is worth keeping.
Common water filter problems, diagnosed properly
Chlorine taste that never quite goes away
A carbon cartridge exhausted past its rated capacity lets chlorine back through, and in a busy household near the hospital precinct that can happen months early, so we test the outlet, swap the cartridge and reset the schedule rather than upselling.
Sediment and scale from older pipework
Homes with original supply runs can shed rust and scale that clog a new filter within weeks, so we check what is feeding the system first, because the right pre-filter upstream matters more than the cartridge downstream.
Pressure dropping after a new install
Flow that fades after filtration usually means an undersized housing, a kinked feed tube or a cartridge rated too fine for the demand, and we size the whole path properly instead of leaving you with a trickle at the kitchen sink.
Why it matters: the case for doing it once, properly
A filtration system is one of the few plumbing upgrades you taste every single day, and the difference between a proper install and a shortcut shows up quickly:
- Your health setup stays honest An expired cartridge is not neutral; it can harbour bacteria and release captured sediment back into your glass, the exact opposite of what you paid for.
- Appliances last longer Scale and sediment shorten the lives of kettles, coffee machines and dishwasher inlet valves, so filtered water quietly protects everything downstream, including the fittings covered on our kitchen plumbing page.
- The habit gets lighter A plumbed system takes the weekly bottled-water haul off your shopping list, and it never runs out on a Sunday night.
How it works
The process, from first call to first filtered glass
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0528 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Match the system to the sink
We measure the cabinet, check what feeds it and how the waste runs, then recommend a system sized to your household's actual water use, confirming benchtop cutouts, tap position and any strata requirements before anything is ordered or drilled.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber St Leonards
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber St Leonards works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
If the filter you want sits alongside a tap upgrade or a mixer replacement, our tap repairs team handles the two jobs in a single visit.
Where we work
Areas we service
Along with our home suburb, our filtration work reaches Crows Nest, Wollstonecraft, Naremburn, Artarmon and Greenwich, and the same van that fits your system carries the cartridges and housings those neighbouring apartments and cottages actually use.
Good questions, straight answers
Water filter questions St Leonards locals keep asking
How often should a water filter cartridge be changed?
Most cartridges last six to twelve months depending on household usage and water quality, and we set a replacement schedule with you at installation so the system keeps performing without you needing to remember.
Do I need a filter with Sydney Water?
Sydney Water meets health standards, but many locals still notice chlorine taste, sediment from ageing internal pipework, or want an extra layer of protection, and a correctly sized system addresses all three.
Can a filter be installed in an apartment?
Yes, compact undersink systems suit unit cabinets well, and we confirm any strata requirements with your building manager before starting, then fit the system and dedicated tap without disrupting neighbours or shared walls.
Undersink or whole-house, which is better?
It depends on your goal, undersink systems polish drinking and cooking water at one point while whole-house units treat every outlet, so we talk through your pipework, budget and priorities before recommending either option.
Does a filtration system affect water pressure?
A properly matched system barely changes flow, but an oversized unit or a cartridge left too long can choke pressure, which is why we size every install to the household and schedule timely cartridge changes.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every filtration install is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and the hardware we supply carries its manufacturer's warranty, so you are covered on both the fitting and the equipment itself.
