Taps & Filtration Systems

A dripping tap can be more than just an annoyance; it's a constant waste of water and money. Whether you're dealing with a persistent drip, low water pressure, or simply want to refresh the look of your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry, tap replacements are a common and effective plumbing solution. But beyond just taps, ensuring the quality of your drinking water is increasingly important. At Aqua Direct Plumbing, we provide expert services for both tap replacements and water filtration systems across the Sunshine Coast. 

Beyond the irritating sound, a single dripping tap can waste thousands of litres of water per year, leading to unnecessarily high water bills. Old or faulty tapware can also develop more significant leaks, potentially causing water damage to your benchtops, cabinets, or floors over time. Furthermore, worn-out tapware can harbour bacteria and become difficult to operate. Replacing old taps with new, water-efficient models can not only save you money on water bills but also improve the aesthetics and functionality of your space, adding a fresh, modern touch to your home.

When it comes to water quality, investing in a filtration system is a smart choice for your family's health and well-being. Even municipal water can contain impurities, chlorine, sediments, or other contaminants that affect taste, smell, and potentially health. A professionally installed filtration system provides clean, great-tasting water directly from your tap, reducing reliance on bottled water and offering peace of mind.

Do decide on the style and type of tapware you prefer (e.g., mixer, separate hot/cold, wall-mounted) before scheduling the replacement.

Do consider water-efficient taps (often with a WELS rating) to help reduce your water consumption.

Do ensure the new tapware is compatible with your existing plumbing connections and water pressure. Your plumber can advise on this.

Do research the different types of water filtration systems (e.g., under-sink, whole-house, reverse osmosis) to find one that suits your needs and budget.

Do consider your specific water concerns (e.g., taste, chlorine, sediment) when choosing a filtration system.

Don't ignore a leaking tap. Even a slow drip can waste a significant amount of water over time and contribute to mould growth.

Don't try to force a tap that is stiff or hard to turn. This can damage the internal components further.

Don't overtighten a new tap during installation if doing it yourself; it can damage the washers or seals and lead to leaks. Always call a professional for secure installation.

Don't attempt complex water filtration system installations yourself, especially whole-house systems, as this requires plumbing expertise.

Don't neglect to replace filters in your filtration system as per the manufacturer's recommendations; otherwise, it won't be effective.

Our team can quickly diagnose issues with existing taps and expertly install new ones, ensuring a perfect fit, leak-free operation, and optimal water flow for all your household needs. We also specialise in the professional installation of various water filtration systems, providing you with access to clean, healthy, and great-tasting water right in your Pelican Waters home.
