Water Softeners in Blandford Forum — Protecting Your Home from Hard Water

Blandford Forum is one of Dorset’s architectural treasures. This elegant Georgian town on the banks of the River Stour — just down the road from the Royal Signals base — is known for its distinctive 18th-century buildings and strong community feel. But behind those handsome front doors, many homeowners are fighting the same battle: hard water and the limescale it leaves behind.

How Hard Is the Water in Blandford?

Across the DT11 postcode, water hardness typically measures between 280 and 290 PPM, with an average of about 285 PPM. That places Blandford firmly in “very hard” territory, and around 90% of homes in the area are affected. The chalk geology of the Stour valley is the reason — it’s the same geology that gives the area its rolling downland, but it also loads the water supply with calcium and magnesium.

What That Means Day to Day

Hard water at these levels leaves visible limescale on taps, shower screens, and kettles. It also creates hidden scale inside your boiler and pipes, which reduces heating efficiency and drives up energy costs. You’ll use more soap, more shampoo, and more cleaning products — and your appliances won’t last as long as they should.

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!”

“I have dealt with Southern Softflow for 22 years. Recently after 22 years a fault developed on the machine. The machine was taken away and repaired at a very reasonable cost. As I had moved house I had the machine installed by the kitchen company installing the kitchen and they made a poor job of the pipework needed. When Will from Southern Softflow brought the repaired machine back he rerouted the pipework and put new valves in and did a very neat and professional job. I am delighted. A very genuine and professional company ,a delight to deal with.”

“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.”

“We've had fantastic service from Southern Softflow from initial enquiry through to installation and beyond. This is our first water softener (TwinTec S5) and we can't fault it (we wish we'd installed one years ago). Southern Softflow's friendly and accommodating service is what set them apart from other companies that quoted. There was no pressure to place an order, and they were very accommodating, as this softener was purchased during a renovation of the whole downstairs, including new kitchen, bathroom & plumbing throughout, so they had to coordinate with our plumber and fit in around other trades. Competitively priced. Fantastic product. Excellent service. I highly recommend Southern Softflow.”

“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!”
