You only want better drinking water, not a whole system
There is a filter jug in the fridge that somebody has to keep refilling, or a slab of bottled water coming in from the supermarket each week. Either way, the chlorine taste is back the moment the jug runs out.
For a lot of Melbourne households that is the whole problem. The showers are fine. The washing machine is fine. It is purely about what goes in the glass, the kettle, the coffee machine and the pot of rice.
If that is you, a whole house system at the mains is more than you need. Filtering every outlet makes sense when chlorine irritates someone's skin, or you want scale kept out of the appliances.

The standard setup is a filter housing inside the sink cabinet, teed off the cold supply and running to its own small tap on the benchtop. We mount it on the cabinet wall, off the floor, with an isolating valve.
If you would rather not drill a second hole in stone, a three-way mixer is neater. One spout, with hot and cold on the normal handle and filtered water on a separate lever, with the filtered line kept apart inside the tap.
Boiling and chilled units are the other option: an under-bench tank feeding a tap for near boiling or chilled water. They need cupboard space and a power point, so we check first. Often part of a kitchen plumbing job.

- Adrian Angrilly Home Owner
Highly recommend, had an emergency call regarding a blocked drained, Kurt was there within the hour to fix the problem. His pricing is fair and he is a great bloke. 5 stars+++ for eliteflowplumbing
Google - Nagendra Chickmaglore Home Owner
We initially thought this was just a simple blockage that we could fix ourselves, but the team at Elite Plumbing quickly showed us it was more than that. They took the time to properly investigate the issue, explained everything clearly, and walked us through what needed to be done without overcomplicating things. You could tell straight away they really knew what they were doing. What stood out the most was how easy they were to deal with, communication was smooth, they were responsive, and always followed up. No chasing, no confusion, just clear and honest updates. It's not often you come across a team that is both professional and genuinely easy to work with. Really appreciate their help and would highly recommend Elite Plumbing to anyone

Incredible and reliable service! I had an emergency situation with a blocked drain and overflowing sewage in my garden late afternoon on a 43 degree day. I found Kurt's details online, he arrived with all of his equipment within 30 minutes. Worked tirelessly in intense heat to identify the issue (which was actually impacting my neighbours house too, they didn't know because they were away!). Kurt made contact with relevant water and council services and used his years of training and experience to resolve the issue. Friendly, professional, no-nonsense service. 10/10 would recommend!

A small job still deserves a licensed plumber
A filtered tap is a half day job, but it is a permanent connection to your drinking water inside a cupboard. Done badly it weeps onto the cabinet base. We fit an isolating valve and pressure test before we pack up.
You deal with Kurt directly, from the first call to the install. If you already bought a unit online we will fit it. If you want a recommendation, we will match one to your household, not the biggest on the shelf.

Filtered Water Tap FAQs
If it is the taste and smell of your drinking water, a filtered tap handles it for a fraction of the cost. If you want chlorine, sediment and scale kept out of the showers and appliances too, go whole house at the mains.
A single cartridge housing takes one corner of the sink cabinet, and we mount it on the side wall so you keep the floor. Boiling and chilled units are the bulky ones, because of the tank, and they need a power point under the sink.
Most drinking setups run a carbon block, which takes out the chlorine taste and smell and traps fine particles as well. If your supply carries a lot of sediment, we run a sediment cartridge in front of it so the carbon stage lasts longer.
Usually yes, because a three-way mixer uses the existing tap hole. That is the appeal when you have stone. If you want a separate filtered tap and there is no spare hole, drilling stone is a job for a stone mason, not a plumber.
Yes. Cartridge swaps, a filtered tap that has started dripping, or an old housing weeping in the cupboard are all common call-outs. Slow flow from a filtered tap is almost always a cartridge that has done its time.
We are based in Glenroy and do filtration work right across Melbourne, including tank supplies through our rainwater tank filtration service. Give us your suburb and what you are after and we will book it in.
