Start with the intended job

A sediment-filter proposal should specify the particle problem, equipment rating and required flow. Capturing visible material is not the same as establishing drinking-water safety.

Prepare a property-specific brief

Ask the installer to explain the chosen rating and how the housing will be accessed and isolated for service. Record existing pressure or flow complaints before installation so the commissioning check has a useful baseline. Do not open a pressurized housing yourself.

Questions for the proposal

  • Why is this rating appropriate for the observed material?
  • Is the rating nominal or absolute?
  • How will loading and replacement be assessed?
  • What performance is outside this filter's claims?

Compare like with like

Compare documented ratings, flow conditions and service access rather than cartridge color or housing size. Keep the quote date, included work, exclusions and responsibility for follow-up in writing. Ask who handles a change in performance after handover and what evidence they will need.

Questions worth asking

How should I compare proposals?

Compare documented ratings, flow conditions and service access rather than cartridge color or housing size.

Can Bali Water Check book this service?

Our current service provides information and preparation checklists. It does not book a provider, arrange a visit or sell equipment.
