Mobile water filter fitting and replacement

Homeowners, landlords, property managers and small offices that want better-tasting water without handling the upkeep.

Profit on filters and cartridges plus a fitting or call-out fee. Reminders for each swap bring repeat visits.

• Basic hands-on fitting skills
• Explaining options clearly without overclaiming
• Keeping good customer records

• Plumbing licence rules differ by state and territory. Connecting to mains water may need a licensed plumber, so check before taking jobs
• Check that products meet WaterMark certification where they connect to plumbing
• Public liability insurance, since a bad fitting can cause water damage
• Avoid health claims about what a filter removes unless the manufacturer's testing backs them up

Startup costs are typically estimated at around $1,500 to $6,000, depending on the filters and tools you stock and how you set up your vehicle. Check your own supplier pricing before you commit.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $1,500 to $7,000, depending on how many homes and offices you service and how many repeat cartridge swaps you book. Plan on roughly 10 hours a week or more.

Check plumbing licence rules in your state or territory, as connecting to mains water may need a licensed plumber. Also check products meet WaterMark certification, carry public liability insurance, and avoid health claims the manufacturer's testing does not back up.
