Softer water for Hampshire homes
Most of Hampshire is chalk country, and that means hard water. Over time the calcium in it leaves limescale in your pipes, your boiler and your kettle. You see it as chalky marks on taps and glasses, and you feel it in dry skin and dull washing.
A water softener changes that. It removes the minerals that cause scale, so your heating stays efficient and your appliances last longer. Filtration goes a step further and improves the taste and clarity of your drinking water. We fit and service both.

Questions
Common questions
Still have a question? We are always happy to talk it through, with no pressure.
Does Hampshire really have hard water?
Yes. Most of the county sits on chalk, so Andover, Winchester and the Test Valley all have hard water. That is why limescale builds up so quickly here.
What does a water softener actually do?
It removes the calcium and magnesium that cause scale. Your water feels softer, your appliances last longer and your heating stays efficient.
Is softened water safe to drink?
Many people keep one hard water tap at the kitchen sink for drinking and cooking. If you want better tasting drinking water, a separate filter is a good option.
Will a softener help my boiler?
Yes. Less scale means your boiler and central heating work more efficiently and are less likely to need repairs over time.
Do you service softeners you did not fit?
We do. We can check, refill and service most makes, and advise you if a unit is past its best.
