Water softeners eliminate limescale buildup, extend appliance lifespan, improve soap and shampoo effectiveness, reduce skin irritation, and make cleaning easier. You'll notice softer skin and hair, cleaner dishes, and protection for your heating system, taps, and appliances from costly limescale damage.

Signs of hard water include limescale buildup on taps and appliances, soap scum in bathrooms, dry skin and hair, poor lathering of soaps, and reduced appliance efficiency. If you're in a hard water area like Hampshire, Surrey, or Berkshire, a water softener will provide significant benefits.

We install salt-based ion exchange systems (most effective), salt-free conditioners, and magnetic systems. Salt-based systems provide the best results for hard water areas. We'll test your water hardness and recommend the most suitable system for your needs and budget.

Water softeners require minimal maintenance - mainly regular salt top-ups (every 6-8 weeks) and annual servicing. We provide maintenance contracts including salt delivery, system cleaning, and performance checks to keep your system running efficiently with minimal effort from you.

Water softener installation typically takes 2-4 hours including pipework connections and system commissioning. We'll find the best location near your mains water supply and ensure proper drainage. The system is ready to use immediately after installation and commissioning.

Water softener costs range from £800-£2,500 depending on system size and features. Installation costs £200-£400. While the initial investment seems significant, you'll save money through reduced cleaning products, longer appliance life, and lower energy bills from improved efficiency.
