Direct answer
Who can install a water filter in Queensland?
Regulated plumbing work must be performed by an appropriately licensed person. River City Water Filters
supplies residential filter options and coordinates qualified plumbing support where the quoted job requires it.
What the quote process covers
System selection
Whole-house or under-sink options are matched to the stated goal, available space and water source.
Site review
Pipe access, mounting space, bypass needs, pressure, drainage and service access are considered.
Written scope
The quote identifies the selected product, installation assumptions, exclusions and warranty documents.
Installation process
- Send your suburb, water goal and clear photos of the proposed installation area.
- Confirm whether the property uses mains water, tank water or another source.
- Review the recommended system and written quote before accepting the work.
- A suitably licensed plumber completes regulated plumbing and checks the installation.
- Keep the invoice, product details, maintenance schedule and any required plumbing documentation.
Photos that help us prepare a useful quote
- The main water entry point and visible pipework
- The wall, slab or ground area beside the proposed system location
- A wider view showing access, gates and nearby obstructions
- For under-sink systems, the full cabinet interior and existing connections
- Any product labels if a filter is already installed
Product and plumbing compliance
Product requirements vary. Where the National Construction Code requires a product type to be WaterMark
certified, the selected model must be confirmed in the WaterMark Product Database and installed within its
approved scope of use. Certification is product-specific; a general brand statement is not enough.
River City avoids blanket health or contaminant-removal promises. The selected cartridge documentation
should identify what it is designed and certified to reduce.
What changes the installation price?
The system, cartridge set, pipe material, access, bypass arrangement, mounting surface, pressure-control
requirements and travel can all change the total. That is why River City provides a property-specific quote
instead of advertising a price that may omit necessary work.
