When a family on West Street contacted us last year, they’d been battling hard water for over a decade. Their combi boiler had failed twice, the shower head needed replacing every few months, and their energy bills kept creeping up. Sound familiar? It’s a story we hear regularly from homeowners in Wilton.

The SP2 postcode area draws its supply from chalk aquifers, and the numbers tell the tale. Water hardness in Wilton typically sits between 270 and 280 PPM — roughly 275 PPM on average. That’s 88% hard. Every litre flowing through your pipes carries dissolved calcium and magnesium that gradually coats everything it touches.

Solving Hard Water at the Source

For the West Street family, we installed a Harvey Twin Tec unit in the cupboard under their stairs. It took our engineers about four hours from start to finish, including rerouting a section of pipework and fitting a bypass valve. Within a week, they noticed softer skin after showering, cleaner glassware, and no new limescale forming on their kitchen taps.

That’s the reality of what a water softener does. It’s not dramatic — it’s quietly effective. The ion exchange process removes calcium and magnesium before the water reaches your home’s plumbing, stopping scale at the source.

We work with all the leading brands: Kinetico, Harvey, Infinity, and TwinTec. Each household is different, and we’ll recommend the system that genuinely fits your property. A period cottage near the River Wylye has different space constraints than a modern build off Shaftesbury Road, and we account for that.

Keeping Wilton’s Softeners Running

Wilton’s heritage as a carpet-making town speaks to its relationship with water — the River Wylye and River Nadder meet here, after all. But that same chalky geology that shaped the landscape also means your plumbing needs protecting.

We provide annual servicing, salt deliveries, and emergency repairs across the Wilton area. Our engineers pass through regularly on their way to jobs in Salisbury and the surrounding villages.

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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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 !”

“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.”
