Installation Rail Kit with Carbon Filter -FAQ's
The Cooler/Boiler Installation Rail for Soft Water Area with Carbon Filter is a pre-assembled installation kit designed to connect mains-fed water coolers and hot water boilers to the water supply. It includes a carbon filter, isolation valves, and fittings, all mounted on a rail for a neat, professional, and efficient installation.
This specific installation kit is designed for use in soft water areas, where limescale is not a major issue. It focuses on filtration and water quality improvement rather than scale reduction.
If you are in a hard water area, a different system with scale protection may be recommended.
The integrated carbon filter improves water quality by:
-
Reducing chlorine taste and odour
-
Removing sediment and impurities
-
Enhancing the overall taste of drinking water
This ensures your water cooler or boiler delivers clean, fresh-tasting water at all times.
Yes. By filtering incoming water and regulating flow, the system helps to:
-
Reduce wear on internal components
-
Prevent blockages from sediment
-
Maintain consistent performance
This can extend the lifespan of your water cooler or boiler and reduce maintenance costs.
If you are renting your water cooler or boiler, installation (including the rail system if required) is included and carried out by an Active Water Coolers engineer.
If purchasing equipment, installation is not included as standard, but professional installation is available as an optional extra. While it is possible to install the system independently, a qualified plumber is strongly recommended to ensure everything is connected safely and correctly.
The carbon filter should typically be replaced every 6–12 months, depending on usage and water quality.
Regular filter changes ensure:
-
Consistent water quality
-
Optimal system performance
-
Continued protection of your equipment
Yes. Even in soft water areas, filtration is important because it:
-
Improves taste and odour
-
Removes impurities
-
Protects internal components
-
Enhances overall water quality
For most businesses, a filtration system is considered an essential part of a mains-fed water installation.
