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.
If you are interested in improving your drinking water experience or softening your water supply, call
