Bournemouth Install

This customer has a lovely home in Bournemouth and had enjoyed the benefits of softened water for many years.

We got called to look at a non working unit, after a service we talked to the customer about the benefits of repair versus replacement.

The customer now has a brand Hague. These are known to be the most efficient water softeners on the market with savings over block salt machines of over 40%.

We also took the opportunity to sort out the customers pipework and fit new stopcocks. Dan our main installer has made a lovely job of connecting to the customers existing iron pipework.

We did I admit need to make 2 visits. The first softener we unpacked had unfortunately been damaged in transport and was not to our satisfaction, this is very rare but as we fit hundred every year I suppose eventually this would happen . The customer was very understanding and a return visit was made with a brand new machine which we keep in stock.

One worn out softenr

This customer had been starting to get a bit of scum and scale from their old Kinetico water softener

We offered a rebuild but they wanted a more efficient machine, so we fitted a...... 

Hague 410 which uses less salt and water than the Kinetico and gives the customer even pressure all day. 

The machine will use block or tablet and has masssuve flow rates. 

A New House

This customer was moving into a brand new home. His neighbour recommended us and The Hague Water Softener

new home in salisbury

A 3 story house with a mains hot water system needs a large capacity water softener that is cheap to run. So we fitted The Hague 410. It will take block or tablet salt.

A lovely job

Our install Dan did a lovely job tucking it in and still keeping a shelve. In the back you can see a 10 inch filter for the drinking water.

Lets get Rid of Scum and Scale

Hard water is horrible and it gives you Scum and Scale. It ruins your home and costs you money

This customer had had enough and after a recommendation from his neighbours decided to have one of our Harvey Water Softeners fitted.

The customer has hardly lost any space but has saved a whole lot of time cleaning his home.

A Very Scaled up House

This customer had been living with scale until it ruined their hot water cylinder. With a kitchen refurbishment due it was a great time to install a water softener.

before

It was a bit of a voyage of discovery in that the stopcock was just showing through a tiled panel. We removed that and started a fresh.

The After

You will note the very long hoses, these are like this as the floor and shelves need to be done and the unit might well be moved around.

Also the electricity is temporary.

Ferndown and a new water softener

This customer had finally had enough of scaled up kettles and shower heads. The answer one of our great twin cylinder water Softeners from Harveys. 

Our Harveys made water softener

Flashy lights

The customer had brought one of these many years ago but did not find it made a difference. 

The customer also took advantage of our special offer on non electric push button stop cocks.

Time to replace that old softener

Leaking and no longer soft but it did so well protecting this customers home. 

Old water softener Ashley Heath

New

Replaced with a Hague 410 and then trimmed around with plastic to tidy it all up. 

Why would I want a Water Softener?

If you like dry skin, itchy hair, crusty shower heads, expensive repairs, scummy baths, high energy bills and long cleaning sessions with smelly chemicals then please carry on.

New Family Home in Ashley Heath

This customer choose a Hague machine . Super reliable and efficient. The builder had 'put in connections for a water softener'. 

So after Dan sorted that lot out they had a whole house water softener system with hard water for the garden and untreated water to their Fridge.

Park Homes in Ferndown

This customer was down sizing to a new and rather nice park home. We managed to fit in one of our Harvey water softeners. The customer was delighted with the tidy install.

They are planning to spend less time cleaning and more time gardening.

I Wanted a Water Softener!

This lovely customer had always had a water softener in previous houses. When she moved to sunny old Swanage she wanted a new one. Unfortunately she was sold one of these. 

not a water softener- even if the label says it is.

Often called salt free water softeners (sic), we get so many calls from customers who have them but still get scale and do not under stand why. We cannot test them as they do not measurably take out and hardness. Customers still complain of all the problems they have had before. Scaled up shower heads, horrible kettles, dry skin, soap not lathering up.

The answer is simple a water softener. As soon as we connected it the customer could feel the difference and could measure it with the test kit we left.

A proper water softener- Hague 410

Check A Trade

We are always trying our hardest to help our customers with great advice and products. 

So this week it was great to find that all the effort was working. 

250 check a trade report cards filled in and the results showing

Now you see me.....

This customer wanted their new water softener fitted in their ensuit.

And with some clever handy work it has disappeared. Magic in Verwood. 

A Swap out of a very soggy old water softener

soggy old leaking Culligan / Waterside

This customer is running a small Bed and Breakfast and had the good sense to put in a water softener many years ago to protect their home and business.

Unfortunately all good things must come to and end and in typical  Waterside / BWT/ Culligan machines that meant the customer getting wet toes.

We advised the customer that a new water softener was the order of the day and that if we moved it to the next cupboard putting salt in would be a lot easier

Water Softeners Outside?

Sometimes the best place for your water softener is outside, giving you more space in your kitchen.  

We do a range of boxes but check out our new cedar box. 

This custom made unit with light weight lift off lid comes fully insulated. We can do nearly any size you like.  The frame is treated softwood and being cedar clad means nearly zero maintenance.

The coffee is pretty good not quite as great as the Westbourne branch, but they have only just opened.

Been back a few times and the coffee is great now. The pastries are sublime especially in the morning dunked in your coffee cup.
