Drinking Water System Installation & Filter Fitting
UK drinking water is considered to be some of the safest in the world, but that doesn’t mean it always tastes great or is free of contaminants that may concern you. We regularly hear from customers concerned about things such as microplastics, pharmaceuticals or PFAS, wanting to know what they can do about it. To help guide you, we have pulled together a table which allows you to understand what can be removed and what type of system would best suit your needs.

Filter Replacement & Fitting
Having chosen and installed a water filter which meets your needs the one thing you will need to remember to do is fit replacement cartridges. Cartridges need to be changed after a certain volume of water or within a certain timeframe, regular filter changes ensure your system is able to continue to remove any contaminants you are concerned about as well as keeping your water tasting great.
Once you know how, fitting a cartridge is quite straightforward although this is a service that we offer, and many of our customers like us to do for them. Should you choose this service we will simply book an appointment with you, to suit your diary. One of our engineers will bring the filter with them, fit it for you and talk you through how to do it yourself for the next time if you wish.
Signs you might need to replace your filter
- If you have a system fitted with us we will typically email you when a replacement is due
- You notice a change in the taste of your water
- You can smell chlorine again
- Your filter cartridge looks visibly discoloured (if you can see it)
- You’re noticing sediment or cloudiness in the water coming from your drinking tap

What Our Customers Say
“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 !”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
