We’ve been fitting water softeners across Bournemouth for years, and there’s a good reason local homeowners keep calling. Water in the BH1 to BH9 postcodes ranges from 270 to 290 PPM, averaging around 280 parts per million. That’s classified as very hard, and roughly 90% of Bournemouth properties are affected.

A quality water softener changes everything. No more scrubbing limescale off shower screens. No more replacing kettles every twelve months. Your boiler runs more efficiently, your skin feels softer, and your clothes last longer. It’s one of the best investments you can make for a Bournemouth home.

Systems We Install

We work with the leading brands in the industry: Kinetico, Harvey, Infinity, and TwinTec. Each manufacturer offers something different. Kinetico systems are non-electric and twin-tank, meaning you never run out of soft water. Harvey is compact and fits neatly under a kitchen counter. Infinity and TwinTec models suit larger households and heavier water usage.

Our engineers assess your home before recommending anything. A flat near the seafront has very different needs to a detached house in Charminster or a student let near the university. We consider your water pressure, pipe layout, household size, and budget before suggesting the best fit.

Covering Every Corner of Bournemouth

Boscombe to Westbourne, Southbourne to Winton — we cover the whole town. Homes along Charminster Road and in the Talbot Village area often have particularly stubborn limescale due to older pipework. Properties in Moordown and Kinson are no different. Hard water doesn’t discriminate by postcode.

We handle the full service. Installation, annual servicing, salt delivery, and repairs when needed. Our delivery van runs through Bournemouth regularly, dropping off block salt and tablet salt to keep your system running smoothly.

What Our Customers Say

“From the first contact through to survey visit and arranging for installation, this family-run company was excellent, with plenty of communication. The water softener had to be installed in a very restricted space with very difficult to access mains water inlet and drain. However the company plumber found a workaround, even preserving some of the middle shelf in the cupboard concerned. The installation was completed in one morning, working was clean, and the finished job is very neat.”

“We recently had Southern Softwater visit our home to walk us through the available options, and the experience from start to finish was excellent.The initial consultation was clear, informative, and pressure-free. They took the time to understand our needs, explained the different systems in a straightforward way, and answered all of our questions patiently. It felt like they genuinely wanted to help us make the right decision rather than just make a sale.The installation process was just as impressive. The installer arrived on time, was extremely professional, and worked efficiently while keeping everything tidy. He explained how the system works, made sure everything was set up perfectly, and left the area clean once the job was complete.Overall, we’re delighted with both the service and the product. It’s rare to find a company that delivers such a smooth and professional experience from consultation through to installation. Highly recommended.”

“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!”

“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 !”

“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.”

“We've had fantastic service from Southern Softflow from initial enquiry through to installation and beyond. This is our first water softener (TwinTec S5) and we can't fault it (we wish we'd installed one years ago). Southern Softflow's friendly and accommodating service is what set them apart from other companies that quoted. There was no pressure to place an order, and they were very accommodating, as this softener was purchased during a renovation of the whole downstairs, including new kitchen, bathroom & plumbing throughout, so they had to coordinate with our plumber and fit in around other trades. Competitively priced. Fantastic product. Excellent service. I highly recommend Southern Softflow.”
