Water filter installation, Melbourne's western suburbs
Whole-house water filters installed across Melbourne's western 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 western 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 west
The west splits into two very different halves.
Werribee, Point Cook, Tarneit, Truganina, Wyndham Vale and Melton are new estate housing, with standard meter positions and simple, routine installs. Footscray, Yarraville, Williamstown, Sunshine and Altona are older, with a mix of Victorian and postwar housing and the same note on internal pipework that applies in Melbourne's other established suburbs: a main line filter treats what comes into the house, not a fault that already exists inside it.
The west is also the part of metro Melbourne most often assumed to be outside a Melbourne trade's normal service area, and it is not outside ours. The price and the process are identical to anywhere else in metro Melbourne, which is probably the single most useful thing this page can tell a western suburbs reader.
