Gullivers Farm - West Moors

Great Coffee finally near me and a beautiful location. Seating in and out side all  on a Biodynamic Farm, what is not to love.

The truth is i have drunk more coffee here in the last months than any where and it is always spot on thanks to Lee the manager.

They have recently fitted out a larger covered seating area on the side plus they have some nice animals for the kids to see.

Poundbury- hard water

As people move into this beautiful new town they discover just how hard the water is. Damage to their new bathrooms, kitchens and heating systems.

Another new house- Salisbury.

Nice day out to Salisbury to fit a new water softener.

Our new Roux Taps

While we were there we fitted a new 3 way tap from Roux Lifestyle and an extra outside tap for the front garden​

New outside tap

We love Salisbury so we look forward to hearing from you.

Water softener for large water main.

This customer has just moved into his new home. It has a large water main and he has a growing family. 

With this in mind we specified one of our Hague Maximizer designed from day one to work with a 28mm water main. 

A lovely compact unit that is able to take block and tablet salt.

Salt free water treatment- A Tale of Woe

This customer showed us his taps after 6 months of having an expensive "salt free water softener" 

This customer had been sold a salt free 'water softener' locally and after 6 months and four visits this was the state of his taps. A proper water softener fitted by us solved the problem.

Great coffee

If you love coffee and you are traveling through West Moors check out this great farm shop and their coffee.

Dorset- home of mad animals

I saw this in a field today, scruffy? I often look like this in the morning.

Sheep needs a comb

Then came to load the van and in the middle of the road two ducks getting into the spring thing. Lots of noise, had a job to take a picture as I was laughing so much. 

Ducks getting it on.

Wasting Money Heating Scale?

If your pipes and hot water cylinder have scale in (they have) then you are wasting money. In Dorset scale grows very quickly and it acts like a layer of insulation making your boiler run harder and longer​ and costing money.

A water softener removes the calcium solving the​ problem plus any scale that has built up over the years will slowly dissolve and run down the drain, getting your system clean and effecient

Awards

The recent annual water softener awards. Everybody looking really rather smart while we listened to Hugarian folk music. It was a bit surreal.

A great night was had by all with more awards for our shelves.  

Keeping that softener clean

A new local customer called as her water softener was not working very well. On closer inspection we found that the salt tank was jammed with salt keeping the remaining block from doing its job- making brine. No brine no soft water. 

So one clean and service later the customer had soft water back and was happy to find a local company that could help her out.  

We mentioned while we were there that we could send her a service reminder if she wanted and that made her day. 

Here is a short video showing how a softener can get clogged and the correct way to put the salt in. 

Let's get in Right

Recently while delivering salt to a new customer they asked us to look at their new water softener as they did not feel the house had much water flow. 

Looking in the boiler room we found some beautiful plumbing that had all gone wrong when they had got to the water softener. A really large water main had been reduced down to fit in a small domestic unit. The customer had 5 bathrooms and gym and a small water softener that just was not suitable.

Two days latter we had fitted a suitably sized unit with all the correct plumbing. When i tested the system, water flow had increased significantly. Infact the tap in the utility area had been giving 7 lt/min and now was producing 16lt/min. Hooray.

The softener that we put in was a Hague Maximizer which can give 90 Lt/min with incredible efficiency.

Scum and scale in a West Moors

This customer had moved in the house and found an old kinetico unit. It was old and not working plus it was connected only to the tank feed.  

A bit of new plumbing, new hoses and bypass plus a brand new twin cylinder machine from Harveys. You can probably see the tester bottle of washing powder in front of the machine. 

One less house with scum and scale in Dorset. 

Great evening

I attended a great event "know thy user-fable" held by Greenwood Campbell in Bournemouth. A great digital media company and their focus on customers, something that we feel strongly about. 

They had a great photographer there but as usual the picture captured was of me stuffing my face.

Local, Independent and Proud

At Dorset Water Softeners we have been working hard over the last few years to offer our customers the best service possible. We think that being truly independent and being able give each customer the very best advice is the only way forward. This is reflected in our great range of water softeners.

Our customers obviously agree and that has meant our continuous growth. Elizabeth in the Office and Me and Dan the water softener man on the road doing calls, installs, servicing and repairs.

So great news we are now able to offer block salt water softener in a new and trendy case. Same top of the range internals but newer smoother case all made by Harveys water softeners in Woking for us. High flow rates, low water consumption, no electric and a great 10 year warranty.

Check it Out.----

So if you are looking for a water softener and are confused by the various models available come and get some free, independent, friendly advice.

Poole- the sky is grey

Just popped along the quay in Poole on the way to a job. Quick photo hopefully of some very expensive Sunseaker boats. 

Guess what they have water Softeners fitted on most of them to protect them from Scum and Scale. 

So many houses in the Quay area and all of them effected by the hard water. Let us not forget the shops and pubs.  

Call Dorset Water Softeners and let us show you how much money you could start saving today.
