Installation - Virgin Pure

How is a Virgin Pure Water System Installed?

Interested in a Water System, or already made your choice and want to know what happens next, here's everything you need to know about how our Systems are installed.

To enjoy pure water on-tap your water System needs to be connected to your water mains. This is done via a thin flexi tube and clever isolation valve which means it won’t impact your water supply or other appliances.

It does take a bit of specialist knowledge, which is why our installations are carried out by our own highly trained engineers.

Covid-19 Update

We’re making changes to keep everyone safe

As you’d expect, we’re taking precautions with our engineers carrying out installs in customers’ homes and workplaces. Our teams have undergone additional training to keep you and themselves safe whilst they work.

Because of this, appointments may occasionally need to be rearranged at short notice. If this happens, we’d appreciate your patience and rest assured we’re doing everything we can to rebook as soon as possible.

We’ll call you to schedule a date and ask some basic safety questions

Once your order is placed we’ll contact you to schedule your installation. As well as finding a convenient date we’ll be checking if you or anyone in your home has been diagnosed with Covid-19 or is self-isolating as a precaution. If the answer is yes we will need to schedule your installation for a date in the future.

We’ll text you the evening before your installation

The evening before your installation we’ll text you an expected time of arrival and ask the same questions. If anything has changed you will need to re-book an installation for a date in the future.

Your engineer will call again on the way to your property

Your engineer will also call on the day of your appointment and ask the same questions. If anything has changed you will need to re-book an installation once your isolation period has ended.

Keeping our people and customers safe is our top priority, so there could be an occasion where an engineer doesn’t feel comfortable coming into your home. If this happens, we’ll work with you to re-book an alternative date.

When it comes to our engineers carrying out work we’re taking extra steps:

First and foremost our engineers are following the latest government advice and self-isolating if they need to. This means your appointment may be rescheduled at the last minute. Please bear with us if this happens, we’ll do everything we can to keep delays to a minimum.
When the engineer arrives at your property they will call you to let you know and ask you to allow them access. Whilst keeping a 2m distance at all times.
All engineers will use antibacterial gel to wash their hands before they enter your home and they will disinfect all equipment before and after use.
As a precaution, our engineer will wear gloves, a mask and shoe covers.
We ask that you stay 2m away from our engineers at all times. Before starting work they will agree with you where the installation will take place, inspect the area. If you have not done so already they will ask you to empty any cupboards which are needed for access. Once this is done we ask that if possible you wait in another room whilst the engineer is working.
Engineers will use antibacterial cleaning spray to disinfect any areas where they will work.
Our engineer may also request to open doors and windows close to the area where they are installing.

We’ll make sure your happy before we leave whilst keeping you safe

Once the installation is complete the engineer will set-up your Water System and invite you to check everything is OK whilst remaining at a minimum 2m distance.

The Water System and area which has been worked in will be wiped clean using disinfectant spray and the engineer will remove all rubbish from the area as they leave.

Increased online support

As we are limiting the time spent in homes your engineer will not demonstrate all of the features of the Water System.

Choose a location

Pick where you want your new Water System to go. It needs to be 1.5m from a power socket and 12m from a water mains. Usually found behind a dishwasher or under the sink.

We connect to the water mains

In most cases, we will make a small 6mm hole through your kitchen counter to run a thin flexi-tube to your water supply. It’s connected using a clever isolation valve which won’t impact any of your other plumbing or appliances. Once connected we’ll test everything is working and all connections are secure.

Setup to your exact preferences

Once the plumbing is done we will help setup your new Water System. This includes adjusting to your preferred temperatures, setting autofill levels, adjusting sleep and wake-up times and generally making sure it’s working exactly how you want it.
