Wareham the start of the Purbecks
We had call from a new customer in Wareham, Dorset. They had moved to the area and had enough of our very hard water.
The first problem, who has hiden the stopcock? After much searching we found it. So a Hague watersoftener in a custom made outside box, a water filter tap and a push button stopcock later all of the customers hardwater problems were solved. Did I mention we also changed the ball valve in the water tank. Happy customer
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
