A Ferndown Customer’s Experience with Hard Water — and How They Fixed It

A couple living in Ferndown had been putting up with hard water for years. They’d replaced their kettle twice, their shower head was permanently clogged, and their plumber warned them that limescale was starting to affect their boiler. Sound familiar? If you live in the BH22 postcode, it probably does.

Hard Water Is the Norm in Ferndown

This popular residential suburb — close to Bournemouth airport and surrounded by golf courses and heathland — has water hardness levels between 288 and 295 PPM, averaging around 291 PPM. That’s well into “very hard” territory, and approximately 91% of Ferndown homes are dealing with the consequences. The mineral-heavy water supply affects everything from your morning shower to the lifespan of your central heating system.

What Changed for Our Ferndown Customers

After calling Southern Softflow on a neighbour’s recommendation, the couple booked a free home survey. Our engineer tested their water, checked the available space, and recommended a TwinTec softener that fitted perfectly in their utility cupboard. The whole installation took less than two hours.

Within the first week, they noticed the difference. Their taps stayed clean, the shower ran better, and their skin felt softer. A month in, they reported using noticeably less shampoo, washing-up liquid, and laundry detergent. That’s money back in their pocket every week.

What Our Customers Say

“Brilliant service. Survey done clear explanation of product from Ben. Fitting done three days later. Very helpful and tidy technician. Added a hard water tap at the last minute no problem. Would highly recommend the service and product. Thanks guys!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”
