A Brockenhurst Customer’s Experience

One of our favourite installations was in a cottage just off Brookley Road in Brockenhurst. The owner had been battling limescale for years. Her shower valve had seized twice, the immersion heater had been replaced, and her morning tea always had a thin film floating on top. She’d tried filter jugs and magnetic devices. Nothing made a lasting difference.

We fitted a compact Kinetico water softener in her kitchen cupboard. It took about four hours. Within days, she told us the shower stayed clean, her skin felt softer, and the tea tasted noticeably better. That was two years ago. She hasn’t had a single limescale issue since.

Hard Water in the Heart of the New Forest

Brockenhurst is one of the New Forest’s most popular villages. Ponies wander the streets, the Rhinefield ornamental drive is minutes away, and Balmer Lawn draws walkers year-round. It’s a beautiful place to live. But the water hardness across the SO42 postcode tells a less picturesque story.

Readings typically fall between 265 and 275 PPM, averaging about 270 PPM. At 87% on the hardness scale, that’s enough to cause persistent scale buildup in every home in the village. Pipes narrow. Boilers lose efficiency. Taps and showerheads clog with white deposits.

Finding the Right Fit

Many Brockenhurst homes are character properties with limited utility space. That’s why we always survey before we recommend. Our engineers know which systems work best in tight spots. TwinTec and Kinetico models are often ideal here because they’re compact, non-electric, and virtually silent.

For larger properties, an Infinity or Harvey system with metered regeneration gives you the capacity to handle higher water demand without wasting salt. We fit all four brands and will always recommend the one that genuinely suits your home.

What Our Customers Say

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”
