    Hi folks,

    Moved to Ballivor, Co Meath a few months back. The water quality is dismal to say the least certainly non-drinkable. It is also quite hard so damage to home appliances without treatment is quite likely . Company in Blanachardstown see link

    http://www.ewtechnologies.ie/

    is coming out to demo a product that will filter mains water going into house. To supply and fit is €1300.

    Has anyone had any dealings with this company or any advice on a water treatment solution.


    Any opinions welcome

    I'm in Ratoath - similar story with the water here - I was looking at this site here.........

    www.water2buy.ie

    Half of your €1300 is labour I'd take a guess at - if you're any way handy the smaller domestic mains filter should be handy enough fitted

    We got a complete house softner and a drinking water filter put in for €1250.
    looking back - next time we would go with a reverse osmosis system for the drinking water - Reasons.....
    1) Filter system does not take out all the rubbish in the water. Seems nitrogen is left in (from a water tester)
    2) We had to put the drinking filter in before the water softner as the kids cannot drink softened water. therefore the drinking tap is in the utility room. i'd have prefered it to be in the kitchen.
    3) the installer used two hose pipes as drains, I would have asked him to use proper pipes or link it into the sinks drain.

    The only problem I've had with the reverse osmosis system is the lack of water i.e. wife used to cook using it and it's got a small enough capacity, so everynow and then there'd be no water from it. (it fills up slowly as you'd expect from reverse osmosis)

    the other quotes we had were for a complete filtration system and reverse osmosis. they came in around €1350 for everything.
    Hope this helps,

    Trig
