We’ve been fitting water softeners across Bournemouth for years, and there’s a good reason local homeowners keep calling. Water in the BH1 to BH9 postcodes ranges from 270 to 290 PPM, averaging around 280 parts per million. That’s classified as very hard, and roughly 90% of Bournemouth properties are affected.

A quality water softener changes everything. No more scrubbing limescale off shower screens. No more replacing kettles every twelve months. Your boiler runs more efficiently, your skin feels softer, and your clothes last longer. It’s one of the best investments you can make for a Bournemouth home.

Systems We Install

We work with the leading brands in the industry: Kinetico, Harvey, Infinity, and TwinTec. Each manufacturer offers something different. Kinetico systems are non-electric and twin-tank, meaning you never run out of soft water. Harvey is compact and fits neatly under a kitchen counter. Infinity and TwinTec models suit larger households and heavier water usage.

Our engineers assess your home before recommending anything. A flat near the seafront has very different needs to a detached house in Charminster or a student let near the university. We consider your water pressure, pipe layout, household size, and budget before suggesting the best fit.

Covering Every Corner of Bournemouth

Boscombe to Westbourne, Southbourne to Winton — we cover the whole town. Homes along Charminster Road and in the Talbot Village area often have particularly stubborn limescale due to older pipework. Properties in Moordown and Kinson are no different. Hard water doesn’t discriminate by postcode.

We handle the full service. Installation, annual servicing, salt delivery, and repairs when needed. Our delivery van runs through Bournemouth regularly, dropping off block salt and tablet salt to keep your system running smoothly.

What Our Customers Say

“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 !”

“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!”

“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.”

“Moving home to an area with very hard water, I decided it was time to install a water softener. After research, I chose Southern Softflow, who offered exactly the reassurance and expertise I was seeking. Decision to installation took two days. Installation itself took a little over two hours, was carried out neatly, efficiently, and professionally. The new tri-flow drinking tap looks great in the kitchen, and even though I’ve used Brita filters for years, tea already tastes noticeably better after only 12 hours. Many thanks to Ben, Will, and the team, greatly appreciated. A full 10 out of 10.”

“We recently had Southern Softwater visit our home to walk us through the available options, and the experience from start to finish was excellent.The initial consultation was clear, informative, and pressure-free. They took the time to understand our needs, explained the different systems in a straightforward way, and answered all of our questions patiently. It felt like they genuinely wanted to help us make the right decision rather than just make a sale.The installation process was just as impressive. The installer arrived on time, was extremely professional, and worked efficiently while keeping everything tidy. He explained how the system works, made sure everything was set up perfectly, and left the area clean once the job was complete.Overall, we’re delighted with both the service and the product. It’s rare to find a company that delivers such a smooth and professional experience from consultation through to installation. Highly recommended.”

“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.”
