Water Softener Installation

What water softener installation covers

A properly installed softener is designed around your home, water hardness and usage. The service typically includes:

• A quick assessment of your incoming water supply, pipework layout and available space
• Advice on system type and sizing, based on household demand
• Installation on the incoming mains with isolation valves and a bypass for flexibility
• Connection to a suitable drain point for regeneration discharge (where required)
• Set-up and commissioning, plus checks for leaks and correct operation
• A clear handover on how to use and look after the system

When a water softener is worth considering

This service is a strong fit if you:

• Regularly descale kettles, shower heads and taps
• See white limescale marks on sinks, screens and tiles
• Want to help extend the working life of a boiler and hot water system
• Manage a rental property and want to reduce maintenance caused by scale
• Run a small premises where scale affects equipment or washrooms

How installation is delivered

Most installations start with confirming water hardness and identifying the best location, usually close to the incoming mains. The system is then fitted with correct valves and a bypass, connected as required, and commissioned to ensure it regenerates and supplies softened water as intended. You will be shown the controls and how to top up salt if your system uses it.

After installation: keeping performance consistent

A softener needs basic ongoing care to keep it working efficiently. You will be advised on salt top-ups, settings, and simple checks, plus what to do if you notice changes in water feel or increased limescale. If you prefer, ongoing maintenance can be arranged to keep the unit running as expected.
