Under Sink Water Filters for Parramatta's Growing Population
Parramatta is Sydney's second CBD and home to one of the fastest-growing residential populations in New South Wales. The suburb's apartment density is increasing rapidly — major developments along the riverfront, in Westmead and in North Parramatta are adding thousands of new units every year. For apartment residents, an under sink water filter is the most accessible and practical solution for improving drinking water quality.
Under sink systems connect directly to the cold water line under the kitchen sink. There is no need to access the building's water mains, no need for strata or body corporate approval in the vast majority of cases, and no significant modifications to the apartment. Jean-Paul arrives with all parts and fittings needed for your specific kitchen configuration and completes the installation in under two hours.
Parramatta Water Quality and Older Infrastructure
Parramatta is one of the oldest settled areas in Australia, and its water distribution infrastructure reflects this history. While Sydney Water continuously upgrades the network, sections of Parramatta's reticulation system are among the older parts of the Sydney network. In older properties — particularly brick homes in North Parramatta and Woodville — the internal plumbing from the meter to the kitchen tap can introduce additional sediment, copper and in some older properties, trace lead.
The Pure Plus+ reverse osmosis system is highly recommended for older Parramatta properties. The RO membrane captures particles down to 0.0001 microns, addressing anything introduced by old pipes at the point of use. For Parramatta's newer apartments with modern plumbing, the Pure Essential at $550.88 provides excellent chlorine and taste improvement at a lower price point.
Parramatta Renters and New Apartment Residents
A large proportion of Parramatta residents are renters, particularly in the newer apartment developments. Under sink systems are well-suited to rental properties — Jean-Paul can advise on the right approach for your tenancy. In most cases, the installation can be done with a simple notification to your property manager rather than requiring formal approval. The system can be removed when you leave if required.
For residents in newer Parramatta high-rises, the kitchen plumbing under the sink is typically very accessible and installation is straightforward. Jean-Paul has installed systems in buildings of all types across the Parramatta area and knows exactly what to bring for each scenario.
Under Sink vs Whole House for Parramatta Properties
Parramatta houses with accessible water meters have the option of upgrading to the HPF-3 whole house system, which filters every tap, shower and appliance at the mains. For families who want to filter shower water as well as drinking water, the whole house option is worth considering.
For apartments — and for houses where the water meter is not easily accessible — under sink filtration is the right choice. The Pure Plus+ delivers the same level of contaminant removal at the drinking tap as a whole house system, at a much lower price point. If drinking water quality is your primary concern, the Pure Plus+ at $840 is all you need.
