Hard water · Softener
Reduce hardness to protect taps, pipes and equipment. Size for hardness, consumption and peak flow.

The right water treatment for each part of your home.
Three distinct needs: protect installations from scale, prepare drinking water and treat pool water. We start with water quality and actual usage.
Who is this for?
Homes with limescale, drinking-water treatment needs or pool-treatment requirements.
Drinking water · Osmosis / Filtration
Select filtration or reverse osmosis based on incoming water quality. Maintenance and filter replacement are required.
Pool · Water treatment
Chlorination and treatment coordinated with existing filtration. Salinity and water parameters must suit the equipment.
What we consider
Water analysis · consumption · flow · pressure · space · drainage · maintenance
Calculate projectChoose treatment based on the incoming water
Before choosing equipment, define the issue: hardness and limescale, drinking-water taste or a need identified by water analysis. These are different objectives and do not always call for the same treatment.
An ion-exchange softener reduces hardness. For drinking water, filtration or reverse osmosis is assessed against the incoming water and the objective. Avoid choosing by the number of filters or a general promise of “pure water”: check the model’s documentation for the substances it can reduce, its operating conditions and required maintenance.
Sizing and cost of a water-treatment installation
Sizing should take account of hardness or available analysis, consumption, household size, simultaneous outlets and pressure. Space, connections, drainage where required and maintenance access also need checking.
The quotation should separate equipment, initial consumables, installation and adaptations. Running costs depend on the chosen model's consumables and maintenance. A useful comparison includes those requirements alongside the purchase price. A fixed quotation requires confirmation of water quality and scope.
What to prepare for a water-treatment proposal
Identify the water source, the problem you want to resolve and the water data available. Include a photo of the proposed space and connections, together with consumption or household size.
The next steps are to define the treatment, check the existing installation and agree the scope and consumables. At commissioning, the model's settings and maintenance should be explained. If there is insufficient information about the water, establish what analysis is needed before declaring a solution suitable.
Questions about softening and reverse osmosis
Does a water softener replace reverse osmosis?
They serve different purposes. Reducing hardness is not the same as treating every substance in water. The need for each device depends on the incoming water and intended use.
Can I choose treatment by taste alone?
Taste does not describe every water parameter. Share supply information and any available analysis to establish what needs checking.
Is maintenance needed after installation?
Yes. Tasks and consumables depend on the model: ask for the manufacturer's plan and convenient access to components that need checking or replacing.
Does a softener make water safe to drink?
Not on its own. It mainly reduces calcium and magnesium, but does not remove bacteria, viruses or parasites. Suitability for drinking needs a separate assessment.
Does all water in the home need treatment?
Not always. A point-of-use unit treats water at a specific tap; a point-of-entry system treats most or all of the water entering the home. The choice depends on analysis and intended use.
Smart control
Smart control, subject to compatibility
We assess leak detection and water-supply control. We assess integration with the selected equipment. Functions and scope are confirmed in the proposal.
