Water Softeners in Dorset

If you live in Dorset, chances are your water is hard. Really hard. Most of the county sits on chalk and limestone, which means water picks up calcium and magnesium as it moves through the ground. The result? Limescale on taps, dull laundry, dry skin after showers, and kettles that fur up within weeks.

We’ve been helping Dorset homeowners deal with hard water for over 25 years. Based locally, we know the water conditions in every part of the county — from the 290+ PPM readings around Bournemouth and Poole, to the slightly softer (but still hard) supply around Dorchester and Weymouth.

What We Do

We supply, install and maintain water softeners from brands we trust: Kinetico, Harvey, Infinity and TwinTec. Every home is different, so we start with a free survey to work out which system suits your property, your water usage and your budget. Most installations are done in a single visit, usually in under four hours.

We also fit drinking water filters, Quooker boiling water taps, and offer a regular salt delivery service right across Dorset. Once your softener is in, we handle annual servicing and any repairs if something ever needs attention.

Where We Cover

Our engineers are out across Dorset every day. We regularly work in Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Wimborne, Ferndown, Verwood, Blandford Forum, Dorchester, Weymouth, Swanage, Shaftesbury and Sherborne — plus everywhere in between.

What Our Customers Say

“I have dealt with Southern Softflow for 22 years. Recently after 22 years a fault developed on the machine. The machine was taken away and repaired at a very reasonable cost. As I had moved house I had the machine installed by the kitchen company installing the kitchen and they made a poor job of the pipework needed. When Will from Southern Softflow brought the repaired machine back he rerouted the pipework and put new valves in and did a very neat and professional job. I am delighted. A very genuine and professional company ,a delight to deal with.”

“Moving home to an area with very hard water, I decided it was time to install a water softener. After research, I chose Southern Softflow, who offered exactly the reassurance and expertise I was seeking. Decision to installation took two days. Installation itself took a little over two hours, was carried out neatly, efficiently, and professionally. The new tri-flow drinking tap looks great in the kitchen, and even though I’ve used Brita filters for years, tea already tastes noticeably better after only 12 hours. Many thanks to Ben, Will, and the team, greatly appreciated. A full 10 out of 10.”

“The service from start to finish was exceptional. Very skilled and knowledgeable plumbers, nothing was too much bother, brilliant receptionist, everything fitted well and explained along the way, went above and beyond - even reinstalled and adapted the cupboard around the new water softener and left us a box full of gifts and goodies! A pleasure to deal with such a great team, we highly recommend them.”

“Fast response to our enquiry, full information provided, work booked for following week. Fitter arrived on time, pleasant, efficient, very tidy and cleaned up when work finished. Very neat pipework, showed us how to isolate soft water if required at any time, and showed us position of new stopcock. Explained how filter system worked, helped us to set up App for notifications when salt low. Stacked spare salt in garage, advised how to apply for more supplies. Presented us with a delightful gift hamper of locally sourced products. Would highly recommend Southern Softflow Ltd.”

“Southern Softflow’s response to my call for help was amazing, from Edith in the office, Keith the boss man to Will the plumber who worked so hard and did a first class job. A truly great personal service not found easily these days. My heartfelt thanks to them all !”

“Fantastic service from the Southern Softflow Team! My enquiry was dealt with promptly and expertly. We were first told by the guy from another local company who installed our water softener (before we owned the property) that the softener couldn’t be serviced reliably as it hadn’t been used for a while and was in any case 10 years old so in need of replacing. We were also told it would be unsafe to use and were quoted a heavy price by him to replace it. Keith from Southern Softflow came to have a look, He was knowledgeable, friendly and very understanding. He spent time analysing the water to make sure it was safe to use. He flushed the system through thoroughly and assured us the softener is in good working order so we wouldn’t need to replace it which was a great relief. Several weeks after Keith’s visit we are using our softener with no issues and are very relieved Southern Softflow operate in our area!”
