A Junior Quitirna free-kick in the ninth minute and a goal late in the first half from striker Wassim Aouachria put the Blues 2-0 up at the interval.
United piled on the pressure in the second period but Danny Searle's side withstood the Tribesmen's attacks and snatched a third with ten minutes to go.
Shortly after a fine Paul Martin penalty save, Waterford hit United on the counter-attack and the ever-impressive Phoenix Patterson set up Quitirna for his second of the game.
The Blues now take on UCD in the promotion/relegation decider next Friday, November 11.
