FAQs
Do I really need a water softener in London?
Yes—Hertfordshire is a hard water area. A softener helps reduce limescale, extend the life of your boiler, and improve skin and hair condition.
Can I install a filter and softener together?
Absolutely. Many of our customers opt for a softener for general water use and a filter for drinking water.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed within 2–3 hours, depending on system complexity and access.
Can you recommend a system?
Yes, we’re happy to assess your needs and recommend the best product for your household and budget.
What maintenance is required?
Water softeners require occasional salt top-ups, while filters may need cartridge replacements every 6–12 months. We provide full guidance on both.
