Water Softeners

At Dwm Plumbing & Heating, we are a specialist team of plumbing and heating engineers based in Andover, assisting property owners throughout Hampshire who are looking for an effective solution to hard water. 

As a professional, experienced team of plumbing engineers, we emphasise the importance of water softeners when it comes to the transformation of water quality in every household. 

What is Hard Water?

Hard water can be described as contaminated water with high levels of dissolved calcium, magnesium and other minerals. These minerals accumulate in water pipes and appliances and are even known to remain on skin and hair. 

Some of the many negative effects of hard water include:

  • Dry skin 
  • Dry hair
  • Scale build-up/deposits on appliances and pipes
  • Deterioration of plumbing system 
  • Soap scum build-up

And so much more. 


What do water softeners do?


Water softeners are devices designed to effectively remove calcium and magnesium ions from the water supply. The softeners work through a process known as 'ion exchange', where calcium and magnesium ions are replaced with sodium ions, resulting in soft water once the process is complete.

At Dwm Plumbing & Heating, we work with a full range of water softeners including salt-based and salt-free systems, which allows us to accommodate all customers with the softness they feel is most suitable for them. As specialists, we consult closely with our customers before installing water softener systems to discuss a range of water softener factors. These include overall water usage, budget, water hardness level in the area, installation space and desired maintenance requirements. This way, we can conjure the system most suited, allowing our customers to get the most out of their new systems once their new systems are up and running. 

Water softeners come with a wealth of benefits, including:

  • Improve water quality 
  • More hygienic
  • Extend appliance lifespan 
  • Energy-efficient 
  • Gentler on hair and skin 
  • Environmentally friendly solution 
  • Cost-efficiency 

And so much more. 

At Dwm Plumbing & Heating, we stress the importance of seeking assistance from a professional team like ourselves when it comes to installing your water softener system to ensure the process is conducted meticulously, resulting in an optimally functioning solution. 

Additionally, we advise maintenance on a routine basis to ensure the system operates efficiently at all times. During our maintenance services, we pay significant attention to what the system needs, adding salt to salt-based systems, cleaning the resin tank and more. 

If you are looking to take control of the water in your home, call our team on 07774319391 today, and one of our engineers will be happy to discuss how we can assist you in eliminating a wide range of issues through our soft water solutions.
