Scale Reduction System Installation

What scale reduction system installation covers

A properly specified and fitted scale reduction system is designed to reduce the impact of hard water on your home or small premises. Installation typically includes:

• A brief assessment of your water hardness, flow rate and usage.
• Advice on the most suitable non-salt scale reduction or conditioning option for your property.
• Installation on the incoming mains supply, positioned for safe access and future servicing.
• Pipework alterations as required, with isolation valves to allow straightforward maintenance.
• Checks for leaks and correct operation, plus a clear handover on how the system works.

When this service is most useful

This service is a good fit if you:

• Live in a hard water area and regularly descale shower heads, taps or appliances.
• Want to help protect a boiler, unvented cylinder, heat exchanger or new bathroom fittings.
• Manage rental properties and want fewer call-outs linked to scale build-up.
• Run a small commercial site where scale affects washrooms, staff kitchens or equipment.

How the installation works

First, the incoming supply and available space are checked to confirm the best location and correct sizing. The unit is then fitted inline on the main, with any required valves and fittings to keep the system serviceable.

Once installed, the system is tested and you are talked through what to expect. Non-salt systems condition water to help reduce new scale forming, but they do not usually remove existing limescale already in the pipework.

After installation and ongoing value

You will be advised on any routine checks or filter changes (where relevant) and the expected service interval for your chosen system. If you are fitting new fixtures or upgrading heating equipment, installing scale reduction beforehand can help keep performance more stable and reduce premature wear.

If you are unsure what type of system you need, an initial assessment can be arranged so you can make a decision with clear options and a transparent scope of work.
