East Devon Water Softeners (part of The Little Plumbing Company)

Water softeners, Quooker hot water boiling taps, drinking water filters, supplied and fitted. Free no-obligation estimates. Block salt and tablets for delivery or collection.

Your local Kinetico dealer with up to 10yr warranties available on products.

The majority of water supplied to homes in East Devon is sourced from a network of bore-holes and aquifers and hardness levels can vary greatly from town to town, or street to street. So, although South West water state East Devon is a moderately hard water area overall, the actual level of water hardness could be much higher in your home dependent upon which line serves your property.

As sister company to The Little Plumbing Company, an established plumbing firm serving the whole of East Devon, East Devon Water Softeners are all too familiar with the adverse effects of hard water, in fact it’s a key driver for many call-outs, from overflowing toilets to poor shower performance or no hot water at all.  

Hard water is bad news for your home. In very simple terms this is because, when heated, calcium and magnesium separate, forming lime-scale crusts on surfaces. This build-up is unsightly on shower screens, worktops and sinks, often means regular replacement of kettles and irons, but it also forms invisibly, damaging washing machines and dishwashers, boilers, plumbing systems and pipework.

If you want your appliances to live longer and your bathroom and kitchen to retain their good looks, or if you’ve had enough of scrubbing away lime-scale, there’s never been a better time to install a water softener, which will set your home free from lime-scale forever. Easy to operate, twin cylinder, block salt water softeners will save you time and money on cleaning, and the resulting soft water will use up to 75% less of your personal toiletries and household detergents and cleaners.

Soft water is great for those with sensitive skin or conditions such as eczema, with many clients reporting an improvement in symptoms after having a water softener fitted. With soft water you can experience smootherfeeling skin, more vibrant hair colourand longer lasting clothes fabrics.

Complete with a 10-year warranty, their softeners are easily plumbed in, require no complicated programming or regular annual servicing, do not need an electric supply and can fit under your kitchen sink.They are plumbed in a way that means they can be easily by-passed or disconnected, so they can be taken with you should you later decide to move home.

UK tap water can also contain chlorine, heavy metals, and other impurities. Although mostly harmless, they affect its taste, clarity and odour. East Devon Water Softeners offer a range of filter systems, with economical, long lasting, easy to change cartridges that can dispense delicious tasting drinking water on demand.

    Recently moved to the area and it was recommended by neighbours to have a Water Softener installed due to the hard water supply in Ottery St Mary. We contacted East Devon Water Softeners and received a visit from Hayden Bolton who brought over a Kinetico Softener unit and explained fully how the system operated and the benefits it would bring both in the short and long term especially for appliances that will have been affected by lime scale build-up such as the washing machine, Iron, dishwasher and kettle. We were also impressed by the compact size of the unit and… [read more]

    We have used the LPC for many years for all our plumbing work.They are reliable and work to the highest standards. The latest work was the fitting of a water softener which was not only expertly fitted but included several other items needing attention and that Hayden insisted on completing before leaving.I thoroughly recommend them.

    We were recommended East Devon Water Softeners who are part of the Little Plumbing Co. By a friend. We visited there showroom in Sidmouth and sampled the drinking water and was shown all of the different water softeners by Radka who was very knowledgeable and so helpful. I have to say the service and installation was excellent and Haydens workmanship is first class. You know immediately that he cares passionately about his work. He fixed some problems with our existing plumbing and then installed the Kinetico Premier Compact water softener with a Hidrosalud Slim filter water system with the icebox… [read more]

    Hayden did such a great job – he gave us a detailed explanation about the benefits of a water softening system during his first site visit and then returned to do the installation himself. All done to a high standard. Hayden is very professional, knowledgeable and personable too – he even took the time to help us out with another plumbing question before leaving. I would highly recommend his services.

    Decided to have a water softener fitted due to the problems limescale was causing in the house – have had two hot water cylinders fail in he last 10 years and numerous taps replaced, as well as the constant excessive cleaning of limescale deposit from showers etc. Have had the water softener for about a month and we are very pleased with it. After a final clean, no more battling with limescale. It has been worth the investment in a softener.Excellent service from East Devon Water Softeners, good workmanship and reliable.

    It’s been a month since Hayden installed the Kinetico water softener. As an eczema sufferer, my skin has improved immeasurably thanks to the softened water. Soft water has a massive benefit for people with dry skin because hard water can make your skin more prone to dryness and getting sore. I no longer need to use any skin creams, and even my wife has remarked how her skin and hair feels and looks better too.Hayden provided an excellent service from start to finish.

    Absolutely no hesitation in recommending The Little Plumbing Company and the workmanship of Hayden, as well as his wife, who was very knowledgeable about water softeners over the phone. It’s rare to find a company who value what they do and take time to discuss, as well as enable visits to the showroom out of normal working hours. Fantastic job and had full faith in Hayden, who certainly knows his stuff! Thank you.

    I could not have asked for a better service for the installation of our water softener. Hayden is extremely professional and, despite an awkward location for the softener and it’s required connections, he persevered for over 6 hours in order to complete an immaculate installation. I could not fault him in any way.I would absolutely recommend him for any plumbing job without reservation.

    Hayden has just fitted a water softener for us and I have to say I was blown away by the care and efficiency he put into it. It was not an easy job, given the site we wanted it in, but it seems no obstacle is too great! I’m so grateful to him. He seemed to have a real respect for the house (400 years old) and was just keen to get it right. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hayden for any plumbing job.

    A first class installation of our water softener by Hayden Bolton of East Devon Water Softener Company and The Little Plumbing Company. From ordering the softener in the showroom to installation we received a very professional service.After only two to three days of having the water softener fitted we noticed a great difference in the quality of the water and disappearance of lime scale from sink, taps, bath and shower surfaces. We thoroughly recommend having a water softener.

    Having had a water softener at our last house in a different area, it was a very easy decision to get one installed at our new house in East Devon, where the water is very hard. I knew already what the benefits were – washing machine lasts much longer, central heating pipes do not get furred up, tea tastes better, showers much nicer etc. At our old house (Hampshire) I must have said a dozen times over the last few years that the softener we had there was probably the best investment we ever made.So I found East Devon Water… [read more]

    Hayden and Radka could not be more helpful or knowledgable when it comes to water signers and filters.From the moment I first contacted them to the day of installation (and beyond), they have been kind, patient and extremely helpful. We were able to visit their amazing showroom and Hayden also visited us to have a look at out water system and test it. We fully recommend this company and will do to all our friends.

    Our water softener installation was made very tricky by an odd position of water inlet; Hayden solved the various issues in a quiet confident way and gave advice to help keep the necessary modifications nice looking and functional. The colleague who helped install the softener, 3 way tap and filter helped make the installation leave a useful storage space. I’m very happy with the almost complete reduction in water marks on the shower/taps etc, and the water tastes great. A very good service and strongly recommended.

    We did a review just after our water softener installation which was too early.Now three months down the line, the differences are incredible. No constant deferring of kettle, bath cleans itself, saving on cleaning products, shampoos. The water has a total different feel. You have to have it implemented to appreciate it and if you live in a hard water area which we do, we are now living in a totalling different world. Hayden and his wife go the extra mile to help you with your needs. They are a great team. Lynn and Rod Sayer, Ottery. St. Mary.

    Hayden is a very professional plumber. He fitted a water softener and drinking water filter a day after we had had a new kitchen installed. Prior to him starting the job there was copper and plastic pipe work filling the cupboard under the sink. I couldn’t imagine there being any space after the water softener and water filter had been installed. However I couldn’t have been more wrong.

    Hayden went above and beyond when fitting our water softener, it turned into a tricky job with existing plumbing, a very long day for him only to return on the Saturday to fit a Quooker system, again another full day. He is a perfectionist and very knowledgeable, so we had every confidence he would do an excellent job. We are already experiencing the effects of wonderful soft water, and instant hot drinks. We will certainly rely on Hayden for our future plumbing jobs.

    It has been some weeks since Hayden installed a water softener and filter at my house.Once installed, it take a couple of days for old hard water to disappear, leaving a different, smoother ‘textured” water in its place.Prior to having this installed, scaling was the norm…the kettle, the shower (including tiles) and taps all showed pretty solid evidence of heavy limescale deposits.No doubt my dishwasher, boiler and washing machine all have heavy limescale deposits after 15 years of hard water being used here.Now after 2 months, my kettle is still shiny, and no deposit surrounds the element as it did… [read more]

Hayden completely revamped plumbing under the sink to suit our hard/soft water needs for main system and boiling tap/filtered cold water with a space saving plumbing masterpiece. Water softness is transformed. A very knowledgeable professional including the Honeywell heating Evo system. So fortunate to have found a Master plumber for all our domestic plumbing and heating requirements.

    Our Kinetico water softener was installed in September 2019 by East Devon Water Softeners and now 9 months on we would like to tell everyone what a difference it has made to so many things in our day to day living – no need to spend hours cleaning the limescale off all parts of the shower head,screen and the bathroom and kitchen taps etc. The reduction in the amount of shower gel, shampoo and all other cleaning products is incredible, the dishwasher can now operate with the cheapest tablets and no need for salt or rinse aid either. The water… [read more]

    East Devon Water Softeners were very positive about the results we could expect from having a water softener fitted. They arranged for prompt delivery and, despite location space being limited, fitted the softener neatly and professionally. We are already experiencing the advantages gained from having soft water and highly recommend East Devon Water Softeners.

    Based on our previous experience of Water Softeners and as our new house was being renovated we moved into rented accommodation with no water softener, it has been a nightmare having to suffer hard water!Hayden came to our rescue and has installed a Kenetico water softener and we cannot wait to move into our new house and enjoy the luxury of soft water again.Hayden completed the installation in a fast and professional manner and left the site spotless. We have no hesitation in recommending Hayden and his company to anyone.

    Hayden recently fitted a Kinetico softener in an awkward spot under the Belfast sink in the utility room and a Quooker hot water tap in the kitchen. Very professional job and very neat and tidy at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services as a plumber and installing water softeners.

    Hayden fitted us a Kinetico water softener into our new property as I wanted to protect against Lime Scale seeing what damage it had done at our previous address. The whole process from the original enquiry through to the completed job was first class. We have had it install for a few months now and it has proved to be a great purchase, the difference in the water quality is immense and no annoying Lime Scale to keep tackling! A+

    Excellent work, the installation of the water softener in the space under the sink unit is compact and very well fitted. Care and attention to detail is very good with clear instructions and information on use after completion of the job. I would recommend Haydn’s services.W Gardner.

    Our Premier Compact water softener was installed almost 3 weeks ago – we can recommend Hayden as a first class plumber who managed to fit the unit into a very small area under our kitchen sink – the result is neater than the original plumbing and despite it taking longer than anticipated, he did not charge a penny more than his estimate. The difference to our water is unbelievable and everything that the brochure said about the limescale on the taps and the shower screen is correct, also we have quickly noticed the improvement to our skin.

    Having never had to deal with hard water before I was very disappointed on moving to Sidmouth recently that our lovely house was a real pain to clean requiring a lot of effort and an array of chemicals. I was delighted to discover that our lovely plumber, Hayden, could install a water softening system, we booked him there and then. He is a meticulous worker and made a very neat job, somehow managing to create more space under the sink with the unit fitted than there was previously. We noticed an immediate improvement in the effect of water on surfaces… [read more]

    After much deliberation I had a Kenetico water-softener fitted today. Haydon has been absolutely incredible. From the first appointment he patiently explained my options and answered my multitude of questions. The unit look very neat and tidy and I feel better knowing my family and house are protected from limescale. Haydon was professional, polite and tidy. I would highly recommend him.

    Hayden (The Little Plumbing Company) recently fitted a water softener in our property. It was a pleasure to witness a tradesman who took so much pride in his work and did not cut corners simply to finish the job quickly.We cannot recommend him too highly and he will certainly be our first point of contact whenever we need plumbing work in the future.

    Some three years ago South West Water changed our water supply from the soft water from the River Exe and Wimbleball Reservoir to the moderately hard water of East Devon boreholes. Since then we have had to replace showers and taps at a cost of £650. We thought that it would not be possible to install a water softener in our property, but Hayden and the Little Plumbing Company overcame all of the obstacles and completed an excellent job. His good advice and prompt and meticulous installation were first class. He is thoroughly recommended.

    Hayden fitted a Kinetico Premier water softener to my property in a most concientious fashion during which he was at pains to ensure extremely neat pipework in the face of the system requiring considerable adaptation! His prior advice in the face of my new Bovis home on Kings Reach not being Building Reg compliant in respect of the hardness of the water supply was fair and comprehensive and I am extremely pleased with the results both in terms of the work and the efficiency of the softener which it must be said has transformed and enhanced our quality of life….

    We have a private water supply and therefore a comprehensive filtration system in a separate building. In the kitchen we have a Reverse Osmosis system and it has been whining and making noises for some time. Because we already have a Kinetico water softener (from 2002 and still working perfectly!) we contacted Kinetico and they gave us the contact to Hayden’s company. He came out and spent a long time discussing the best solution. Based on his advice we decided to go for the K5 Pure Plus which comes with a dedicated mineral plus filter, ensuring all the good minerals… [read more]

His work schedule forecast was accurate and the completed installation is excellent. Instructions for maintenance were clearly given.Hayden has done other work for us to a very high standard.We highly recommend the Little Plumbing Company.Brian and Jeannette Sidmouth.

    Moved into a new house recently and was shocked at how hard the water was. So I looked into water softeners and found EDWS. They responded really quickly, came round to demonstrate how the system works and then came the following to fit it. Installation was very quick and efficient, and everything left very clean and tidy. I’m thrilled.

    Installing the water softener was not straight forward but Hayden worked hard all day putting it in; taking a lot of time to make sure it was functioning correctly. He cleared up afterwards leaving our kitchen and the two cupboards spotless. The water softener is working well and we appreciate the difference it has made. We actually have soap bubbles now in the water and the scum on the basins has gone. The iron no longer puffs out dust and the kettle water is clear. It has been a very satisfactory installation. Thank you.

    Delighted with our new water softener. We moved to Devon last year from Birmingham , where the water is soft and wonderful. Hard water came as a surprise and we found in it unpalatable. I researched water softeners but was wary of being sold something unsuitable. The Little plumbing Co came first of all to service our (new) boiler. I was impressed with Hayden’s thoroughness and we got round to discussing water softeners (I did not realise that Hayden also supplied and fitted them!) He gave a demo of the benefits and I was pleased to learn how small and… [read more]

    Having completed various plumbing jobs around the house, both upstairs and down, sorting out an elderly central heating system (including power flushing) and fitted a water softener (which works wonderfully) Hayden has given every satisfaction in standards of workmanship. Most importantly, I have always been well informed on prospective costs, timescales and any possible problems. He has never missed an agreed appointment, and I have always been informed if he is running late.Hayden Bolton would be my first choice for future work – he is excellent. I’d recommend him to anybody.
