Can water softeners be difficult to install?
Anyone with DIY plumbing experience should be able to install a water softener. However, a softener installation is not as straightforward as fitting a washing machine or dishwasher. The positioning of the rising water main, outside tap, water pressure implications and the installation of a drinking tap can extend fitting times. It is worth taking professional advice before tackling an installation. DIY kits are available and a straightforward installation should take less than a day. We always advise a site survey. This is a free visit enabling us to discuss with you all the implications of having softened water in your home. As already stated the installation can be complex and if considered preferable we can organise fitting through our own engineers.
