Publish a fixed charge for a standard installation and quote the extras on site. Customers expect RO installation to be quick and cheap, and it can be, if you fix a standard charge and itemise the extras. A clear list of RO installation charges stops arguments at the door and makes the first visit the start of an AMC. ## What a standard installation includes - Visit and wall mounting - Inlet connection with a standard length of pipe and one valve - Drain connection - TDS check at inlet and outlet - Test run, tank fill check, demo to the customer ## RO installation charges: extras - Extra pipe per metre, extra valves and fittings - Booster pump where pressure is low - Pre-filter or sediment housing for dirty water - Uninstall and reinstall when the customer shifts - Out-of-area travel ## Worked example (illustrative, not a market rate) - Standard installation: Rs 400 - 3 metres of extra pipe: 3 x Rs 30 = Rs 90 - One extra valve: Rs 80 - Total: Rs 570 ## Make installation the first AMC visit At installation you know the model, the TDS and the date: everything needed to plan filter changes.

Work them out from your own costs; the example on this page is illustrative, not a market rate. **Q: Is installation free with a new purifier?** A: Some brands and dealers include it. If you install for a brand, follow its rates; for your own customers, set a fixed charge. **Q: What extras should be charged?** A: Extra pipe, valves and fittings, a booster pump for low pressure, a pre-filter for dirty water, and reinstallation after shifting. **Q: Should I check the water?** A: Yes. Test TDS at the inlet and the outlet and write both on the job card; it sets the filter plan and the AMC. ## Related articles [RO & Water Purifier RO Membrane Change: When It Is Due and How to Handle It RO membrane change for water purifier service firms: signs it is due, TDS checks, the replacement process, pricing the visit and reminding customers on time.
