What is a water softener system?

If you’re in a hard water area, a water softener system can remove excess minerals from your supply and make it soft. 

Hard water can cause problems such as limescale buildup in your plumbing, appliances, and on surfaces such as taps and shower screens. Over time, this buildup can potentially lead to costly repairs, reduced efficiency, and higher energy bills. 

As well as that, hard water can also be harsh to your skin and hair, and needs more soap or detergent. 

A water softener system, however, stops hard water at its source. It’s installed right where your water supply enters your home, removing the minerals that can cause issues before the water so much as touches your pipes, taps, and appliances. 

How long does a water softener installation take?

A typical water softener installation takes around three to four hours, depending on how complex the job is. 

You’ll also have an initial consultation beforehand, which may take up to an hour. 

How much does a water softener installation cost?

According to our figures, the average installation fee for a water softener system is £350 

The average cost of the equipment varies from £500 for a budget single cylinder (electric), to £2,500 for a commercial water softener. 

The exact price you pay will depend on the type of system you choose, the complexity of the installation, and what the installation company charges.
