Water softener- any recommendations please?

Yes we had one installed last year. Ours was recommended by our heating and plumbing engineers. It’s a Dualflo by Harvey Water Softeners. Not cheap and takes up room in a cupboard in the utility. Salt blocks are delivered from on line company. Saving money on detergents and chemical cleaners. Hope this helps.

Thanks yes - so much more peace of mind having real feedback, we’ll look into that one

I got a whole house filter from Aquasana last year, definitely recommend it cause my water tastes better than ever. Even took a few samples for testing after a month or so since I installed it, was a big difference in purity. There are online sources that you can use, but I'm not sure what to say about whether they are biased or not. I'll leave you with some sources, even the site I found my filter on, hope it helps. If you don't trust reviewers, I'd go directly to manufacturers and just read up online a bit more to see what others have to say about the products I do like.

Thank you for that. I’ll look at those links too. I’ve got an independent company due to to do a survey today (distancing being upheld)

Hi! I live in Phoenix and we have extremely hard water here, what I got installed as my home water softener system to solve my water hardness issues was the AHWA WS1 The President that I was able to buy from this site americanhomewater.com/products/water-softeners/. It's got lots of useful features but I mainly got it for its 10-year full coverage parts and labor warranty which speaks a lot about the brand's confidence in the quality of their product. I got it for about 3 years now and so far I haven't had any issues or concerns with my unit and I actually highly recommend it.

We have a system installed by Pure Choice, based in Glastonbury. Had to be updated over the years, but we have been very happy with it and the firm. It certainly cuts down the cleaning and eliminates lime scale and with a water filter system, it is amazing how much gunk is filtered out. Guests always comment favourably on how silky their hair and skin feels after a bath or shower.

Just remember they use salt in the softening process, no use for anyone with high blood pressure.

We buy bottled water.
