What a water filter installation costs in Newcastle
Newcastle draws on the same Hunter and Central Coast trade pool as Sydney but prices below the city, so a water-filter install is better value here for comparable work. The Hunter town supply is generally good, so filtration is mostly bought to improve taste, remove chlorine and catch sediment, with an under-sink unit the common job.
On the coastal and semi-rural blocks around the city that run on rainwater tanks, a whole-house sediment and taste filter becomes worthwhile to protect appliances and clean the tank supply, a larger install than a single under-sink unit. In the older cottage stock, the under-sink cabinetry and dated plumbing can make fitting the connection a little more involved, but overall the job sits below the Sydney figure.
