What does the installation price cover?

We mount the filter unit and connect it to the cold-water supply, then flush, commission and leak test the system. The installation includes:

  • Standard fittings, a tee piece, isolation valve and tubing.
  • Fitting the dedicated drinking-water tap where supplied with your kit.
  • The drain connection needed for a compatible reverse osmosis system.
  • System flushing, commissioning and leak testing.
  • Cleaning up and removing the installation rubbish and packaging.

The service includes drilling stainless steel and laminate for the supplied drinking-water tap. Send a photo of the proposed tap position so we can check your sink or benchtop before you book.

Under-sink filter installation by type

Cartridge housings and quick-change filters

We mount the filter housing securely inside the cabinet, keeping it accessible for later cartridge changes. Standard fitting includes a tee piece and isolation valve on the cold-water line, tubing and the drinking-water tap supplied with your kit.

Check that there is room for the unit and access to change its cartridges. Have the filter, supplied tap and other kit parts ready before installation.

Reverse osmosis systems

Reverse osmosis installation also includes the system’s drain connection. We mount the RO manifold, flush and commission the system and, where your kit includes a tank, charge and check the tank.

Check the cabinet space for both the system and any tank. If the tap position, benchtop or existing water and waste connections need checking, send us the model and photos before booking. Any extra work is explained, priced and agreed before it starts.

Before you book

  1. Check your postcode in our service area. We install across most of Sydney metro.
  2. Have the filter kit and its supplied parts ready, with room for the system and any tank. Use our under-sink installation checklist to prepare for the visit.
  3. Book installation for your own filter, or choose a TapLife system with installation. Review the total before adding it to your cart.

Book online with a $1 payment by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The rest is paid after installation, once the job is done — by cash or PayID, as set out on your invoice.

Installation has a 12-month workmanship warranty. If you bought the system from TapLife, come to us for faulty supplied parts. The manufacturer's warranty and your consumer-law rights remain separate. Read our warranty and returns policy.

Under-sink installation questions

Check the system and installation details before booking.

How much does under-sink water filter installation cost in Sydney?

The installation rate is $200 when you buy the system from TapLife, plus the system price. Installation of a filter you already own is $230. Both installation rates include GST. Review your total before booking.

Can you install a reverse osmosis system I already own?

Yes. The installation-only service covers compatible under-sink reverse osmosis systems as well as cartridge filter systems. A reverse osmosis installation includes its drain connection, flushing, commissioning and leak testing.

Is drilling for the filter tap included?

The service includes fitting the drinking-water tap supplied with your kit and drilling stainless steel or laminate. Send a photo of the proposed tap position before booking so we can check your sink or benchtop.

Can you replace my kitchen mixer while fitting the filter?

Yes. Standard filter installation includes fitting the drinking-water tap supplied with your kit. A separate kitchen mixer is another fitting. Add both items to the same order to see the combined installation total, including any same-visit add-on rate, before booking. Browse kitchen taps with installation.

Does under-sink filter installation include a shut-off valve?

Yes. We install a compression tee and isolation valve on the cold line, so the filter can be shut off independently without turning off your kitchen. Check under-sink installation details before booking.
