Why Northern Beaches Homeowners Choose SXP for Water Filtration
Puretec-Certified Specialist Installer
SXP is a Puretec installer in the Northern Beaches, certified directly by the manufacturer rather than just authorised to stock the product. The right system for your water and your property, properly sized and configured.
20+ Years of Northern Beaches Plumbing
Sven started as a sole trader in 2005 and founded SXP in 2017. Two decades across Northern Beaches properties means faster diagnosis and fewer surprises.
Licensed Installation, Done to Code
Connecting a filter to a water supply is licensed plumbing work in NSW, and SXP holds Contractor Licence 318240C. Every installation is by a qualified tradesperson with a labour guarantee.
Automatic Filter Replacement Reminders
An expired cartridge stops protecting your water. SXP sends an automatic reminder when the next change is due.
Supply, Install, and Service from One Trade
Supply, installation, and ongoing servicing through one contact. Filtration alongside other plumbing work can often be done in the same visit.
Water Filtration Systems for Northern Beaches Homes
SXP Plumbing Services supplies, installs, and services water filtration systems for residential, strata, and commercial properties across the region, matching the system to the property rather than selling off a list. It sits within our wider residential plumbing work, is frequently specified during a new build, and is supported afterwards through scheduled servicing.
Whole House Water Filtration
A whole house water filter in the Northern Beaches treats water before it reaches any tap, shower, or appliance. SXP installs the Puretec FilterWall series, with the F6 the most popular choice, wall-mounted and available in a range of colours to suit a utility space or external wall. We assess where your supply enters, the space available, and how straightforward the pipe run is before confirming the quote. Most whole-house systems go in within a day.
Under-Sink Water Filtration
An under-sink water filter delivers filtered drinking water straight from the kitchen tap. The Puretec Z7 connects to your existing mixer, so there is no second tap and no drilling into the benchtop, which makes it one of the few options open to renters and apartments. The Z6 and other configurations suit households that prefer a dedicated filter tap. For a standard kitchen, we can usually quote from photos and have it fitted in one to two hours.
ZIP, Billi and Other Boiling and Chilled Water Systems
For instance, boiling, chilled, or sparkling water, SXP installs ZIP, Billi, and other point-of-use units, usually combined with filtration through a single dedicated tap. These often go in as part of a kitchen renovation or tap upgrade. We source and supply the unit and coordinate around any other trades on site, so the install lands at the right stage of the job.
Rainwater Tank Filtration
Properties in Terrey Hills, Duffys Forest, and the acreage blocks around Bayview often run tank water to supplement or replace the mains supply. A rainwater tank filter handles the sediment, debris, and bacterial contamination that rooftop catchment brings with it, with UV sterilisation added where the end use calls for it. A site visit is needed to check the tank position, pipe run, and the configuration suited to how the water will be used.
Filter Replacement and Ongoing Servicing
A filter only works while the cartridge is current. Once it expires, it can drop your water pressure, change the taste, and in some setups, become a problem in itself. SXP services Puretec systems we have installed, along with other brands on request, as part of ongoing plumbing maintenance, and sends an automatic reminder when the next filter cartridge replacement is due. We give you the replacement cost at installation, so the servicing is never a surprise.
Why a Licensed Plumber Should Install Your Water Filter
Plenty of suppliers will sell you a system and fold “installation” into the deal. The catch is that connecting to a live water line is licensed plumbing work in NSW, and a connection that fails can leak quietly inside a cabinet for months or void the product warranty. Choosing someone licensed for your water filter installation on the Northern Beaches is the lower-risk option and usually the cheaper one over time. Every SXP install is done by a licensed tradesperson, tested before we leave, and backed by a labour guarantee.

Northern Beaches Water Quality and What It Means for Your Home
Northern Beaches homes draw mains water from the Warragamba and Woronora catchments, chlorine-treated before it travels through kilometres of ageing pipework to reach Manly, Dee Why, Mona Vale, and Newport.
Older copper-piped homes around Frenchs Forest and Belrose often carry a metallic taste first thing in the morning, coastal properties in Dee Why, Manly, and Collaroy see elevated chlorine through summer, where a chlorine removal water filter makes the most difference, and tank-water properties in Terrey Hills and around Duffys Forest carry rooftop catchment contamination risk. Near several Sydney and Northern Beaches-adjacent sites, PFAS water filtration is also worth considering, reduced by the right cartridge configuration.
SXP has worked across these suburbs since 2005, long enough to know which concerns show up where and which system suits which property. Water filtration in the Northern Beaches is worth handing to a local team that matches the system to your home and your water, not a supplier working off a postcode.
How Water Filtration Installation Works With SXP
Step 1: Get in Touch
Phone, text, or the enquiry form. Send through the property address, the system you are after (whole house, under-sink, or not sure yet), and a few photos of the kitchen or utility space.
Step 2: Assessment and Quote
Where the scope is clear from photos, we quote remotely at no charge. If a site visit is needed to measure or assess a more complex run, we book a billable diagnostic visit and confirm the cost upfront.
Step 3: System Selection and Supply
SXP recommends the right Puretec system for your property and orders it through Reece. Units typically arrive within three to four days, and installation is scheduled from there.
Step 4: Installation Day
A licensed tradesperson installs and tests the system, leaves the space clean, and walks you through how it works and when the first filter change is due.
Step 5: Filter Replacement Reminders
When the next cartridge is due, an automatic reminder comes to you. There is nothing to track at your end.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What types of water filtration systems does SXP install?
SXP installs a full range: a whole house water filtration system using the Puretec FilterWall, under-sink inline filters including the Z7 that connects to your existing mixer tap, a reverse osmosis system where the highest level of filtration is wanted, rainwater tank filtration, and instant boiling and chilled units from ZIP and Billi. Puretec is our primary brand, though we can advise you on something else where the application calls for it.
Can I get a water filter installed if I am renting?
Yes. The Puretec Z7 connects to your existing mixer tap without drilling a new hole in the benchtop, which makes it well-suited to rentals where benchtop changes are not allowed. We would just suggest confirming with your property manager or landlord before booking.
What contaminants can a water filter reduce?
It depends on the system and cartridge configuration. Most setups are rated to reduce chlorine, chloramines, and sediment. Some Puretec cartridge configurations are also designed to address certain organic compounds and, depending on the cartridge selected, PFAS compounds. We recommend the right setup based on your specific water quality concerns.
Do I need a licensed plumber to install a water filter?
In NSW, connecting a filter to a live water supply is licensed plumbing work, so water filter installation in the Northern Beaches should always go through a licensed plumber. SXP holds NSW Company Contractor Licence 318240C. An unlicensed connection risks slow leaks and water damage, and it can void the manufacturer’s warranty on the unit.
How much does water filter installation cost?
The cost comes down to the system you choose and how involved the pipe run is. A standard under-sink filter is a quick job, while a whole house water filter in the Northern Beaches varies by site, depending on the run. We always provide a quote before any work starts, so send through your property details and a few photos for an initial estimate.
How long does the installation take?
A straightforward under-sink filter usually takes one to two hours. A whole-house system is generally done within a day. More complex pipe runs can take longer, and we will let you know what to expect at the quote stage.
How often do filter cartridges need replacing?
It varies with the system and how much water the household uses. We give you the recommended interval at installation and send an automatic reminder when the next replacement is due. Servicing is quick and costs far less than the original installation.
What is a Puretec-Certified Specialist Installer?
Puretec runs a certification program for plumbers who have completed its product and installation training. SXP holds that certification, which means we are authorised to supply and install the full Puretec range and trained to recommend the right system for each situation.
Can SXP filter the water from my rainwater tank?
Yes. We install filtration for rainwater tank supplies, dealing with the sediment, bacterial contamination, and other particulates that come off a roof and through guttering. A site visit is usually needed to check the pipe run and recommend the right configuration.
Can water filtration be combined with other plumbing work?
Yes, and it often is. We regularly fit filtration alongside bathroom or kitchen renovations, hot water replacements, and other plumbing work. Where the timing lines up, doing both in the one visit saves on disruption and call-out costs.
