Water filter installation, Melbourne's eastern suburbs
Whole-house water filters installed across Melbourne's eastern suburbs by a licensed plumber. Fresh Tap is $2,990 fixed, the same price as anywhere else in metro Melbourne.
The price is the same here as everywhere in metro Melbourne
There is no travel charge and no zone loading for the eastern suburbs. The only things that can change your quoted number are published: $150 per metre if the install position is more than 1.5 metres from the meter, and $350 for a pressure reducing valve if your mains pressure tests over 500 kPa on the day. Both are confirmed in your price before you pay anything.
What we see in the east
Large blocks and a long run of 1960s to 1980s brick veneer through Box Hill, Doncaster, Blackburn and Glen Waverley, with a heavy wave of knockdown rebuilds and dual occupancies over the last fifteen years.
Two things worth stating follow from that. On an older block the meter can sit a long way from the house, which is where the $150 per metre line applies, and it is why the photo of the meter and the pipe running from it matters more here than almost anywhere else in metro Melbourne. On a rebuild or a dual occupancy, the meter has often been relocated or split between the two dwellings, so send a photo of what is actually there now rather than what you remember from before the work was done.
