A Fresh Start for Duncan’s Home: Whole House Filtration in Malvern East
Duncan, a homeowner in Malvern East, noticed his tap water looking cloudy and leaving residue on appliances; he knew it was time to call in the experts. He reached out to O’Shea Plumbing, looking for a lasting solution that would deliver clean, fresh water throughout his entire home, not just in the kitchen.
After a detailed inspection, our team recommended installing a whole-house water filtration system to improve water quality and protect the home’s plumbing and fixtures. The job began with careful preparation. We identified and isolated the existing water main, then removed the old connection to make room for the new setup. In the garden bed between the gas and water meters, we prepared a solid paver base to provide a stable and level surface for the filtration unit. Once in place, the system was mounted and securely connected, ensuring both functionality and a neat appearance.
Our licensed plumber in Melbourne then made several important plumbing adjustments to enhance performance. The existing tempering valves were removed and bypassed, allowing direct connection from the hot water lines into the tempered lines for a more consistent and balanced supply. Under the kitchen sink, we removed the old mini stops, cleaned the area, and installed new ones to improve water control and reduce the risk of leaks.

Throughout the process, O’Shea Plumbing provided professional water leak detection, ensuring there were no hidden leaks that could cause damage over time. By identifying and addressing potential issues early, the system was installed safely and efficiently.
Once installation was complete, we conducted a full round of testing and commissioning. Every connection was checked for leaks, the flow and pressure were tested, and the filtration system’s performance was confirmed to be running efficiently.
By the end of the visit, Duncan immediately noticed the difference. Clear, fresh water was flowing from every tap in his home. The new system not only improved water quality but also provided long-term protection for its plumbing and appliances.
