Supply the sizing information
Tell the provider about household use and share available water-test results. Ask which measurements and assumptions support the proposed capacity. A model number or household size alone does not define the entire installation.
Measure the installation space
From a safe accessible location, describe the space and current plumbing, drain and power arrangement. Ask who handles any alterations, removal of the old system and permit coordination.
Make the handover usable
The accepted proposal should name the equipment, startup and programming responsibilities, user instructions and maintenance terms. Keep optional recurring service separate from the installation price.
| Scope item | Confirm before agreeing |
|---|---|
| Equipment | Exact model and sizing assumptions. |
| Installation | Plumbing, drain, power, disposal and exclusions. |
| Commissioning | Setup, instructions and separate ongoing-service terms. |
Details to gather
- Household use
- Available water-test results
- Space and access
- Existing unit and connection details
Compare the complete installed system and handover rather than the equipment price alone.
Questions about this request
Does replacing a unit reuse all existing connections?
The installer must assess those connections. Ask which are retained and which alterations are included.
Is routine salt service included?
Only if the written proposal includes it. Record the frequency, supplies, price and cancellation terms separately.
