Professional Water Softener Installation in Sherborne

Southern Softflow provides expert water softener supply, installation, and servicing to homes and businesses across Sherborne and the DT9 postcode area. If hard water has been causing problems in your property, we’ve got the solution — and we’ll have it up and running in just a couple of hours.

Why Sherborne Homes Need a Water Softener

This beautiful stone-built town, home to Sherborne Abbey and Sherborne Castle, sits on some of the hardest water in north Dorset. Readings across DT9 typically fall between 255 and 265 PPM, with an average of around 260 PPM. About 85% of local properties are affected, which means most households are dealing with limescale build-up whether they realise it or not.

The Brands We Trust

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. That’s why we supply and install water softeners from four of the UK’s most respected manufacturers:

  • Kinetico — non-electric, twin-tank systems that never run out of soft water
  • Harvey — compact block salt units ideal for smaller spaces
  • Infinity — high-performance systems with smart monitoring
  • TwinTec — reliable, British-made softeners built to last

How It Works

It all starts with a free home survey. We’ll visit your Sherborne property, test your water hardness, check your available space, and talk through your household’s water usage. Based on that, we’ll recommend the system that’s the best fit — and give you a clear, fixed-price quote on the day.

Installation is straightforward and typically takes around two hours. Our installers are tidy, respectful of your home, and always happy to walk you through how your new system works before they leave.

Ongoing Support

We don’t disappear after installation. Southern Softflow offers regular servicing, salt delivery direct to your door, and a responsive support team if you ever have questions. We’re a local company and we take pride in looking after our customers long-term.

What Our Customers Say

“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.”

“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 !”

“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.”

“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.”
