Water softener and filter installation

Water softener and filter installation

Hard water leaves scale on heating elements, taps and shower heads. Softeners and certain filters reduce mineral effects when correctly sized and plumbed with the right bypass and drinking-water arrangements.

Installation considerations

We need a suitable mains take-off, drain for regeneration brine (for ion-exchange softeners), power where the valve requires it, and space for salt storage. Not every filter is a softener — we match the product to your water report and goals.

On the visit

Positioning, isolation valves, bypass loop, drain connection, commissioning per manufacturer instructions, and a walkthrough of salt topping and bypass for garden taps if needed. Price agreed before installation. Related kitchen work: kitchen sink and tap installation.

Drinking water choices

Some households keep a hard-water drinking tap; others drink softened water depending on product and medical advice they have taken independently. We plumb what you specify; we do not give medical advice.

Salt and maintenance

Ion-exchange softeners need regular salt. We show you the cabinet and bypass so holidays and gardener taps are manageable.

Existing scale

A softener slows new scale; it does not instantly remove thick deposits inside old cylinders and kettles. Pairing with a system flush may be a separate conversation for heating circuits.
