London Water Softeners

If you're living in London or the South East of England, you're likely experiencing the effects of hard water, which is characterized by high levels of calcium and magnesium. These effects include limescale on taps, blocked shower heads, white deposits on glassware and surfaces, as well as issues with boilers and heating systems. Additionally, hard water can contribute to skin and hair problems such as dryness and greasiness.

To address the issue of hard water in London, a water softener is the only permanent solution. Investing in a water softener is beneficial for homeowners, landlords, and property developers. It not only protects new homes and renovations but also prevents limescale damage. Water softeners work by filtering out hard minerals, allowing only soft water to enter your home. They can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, provided you choose reputable brands and models. In the UK, Harvey and Kinetico are considered the best water softener brands.

To determine the hardness of your water, measurements are typically given in parts per million (ppm). In London and the South East, water is notoriously hard, with readings ranging from 300 to 400 ppm. Some of the hardest locations in London include Epping (CM16) with 370 ppm, High Barnet (EN5) with 347 ppm, Holloway Road (N7) with 338 ppm, and others.

When looking for water softeners in London, consider Mid Wales Water as your chosen supplier, highly rated by London customers. It's worth noting that purchasing online can often provide better prices compared to offline stores and companies, which may include higher installation and labour costs. Any qualified plumber can install a water softener, a process similar in difficulty to installing a washing machine and typically taking a few hours.
