Mere sits right on the chalk and limestone belt that runs along the southern edge of Wiltshire. That geology means one thing for homeowners: hard water. We regularly test supplies in the BA12 postcode area and find readings between 255 and 265 parts per million — around 260 PPM on average. That puts Mere firmly in the 85% hardness bracket, well above what most appliances are designed to handle.
You’ll notice it first on the kettle. A thick white crust that builds up within weeks. Then it’s the shower screen, the taps, and eventually the inside of your boiler. Left unchecked, limescale shortens the life of heating elements and pipes. It’s a slow, expensive problem that most people don’t spot until something breaks.
Our Approach to Softened Water in Mere
We’ve been installing water softeners across Wiltshire for over 20 years, and Mere is a town we know well. Whether you live up near Castle Hill, along the B3092 towards Stourhead, or in one of the newer developments off Woodlands Road, our engineers can assess your property and recommend the right system.
We fit models from Kinetico, Harvey, Infinity, and TwinTec — choosing whichever unit suits your household size, water usage, and available space. A compact TwinTec S4 works brilliantly in a smaller cottage, while a Kinetico Premier handles the demands of a busy family home without missing a beat.
Installation typically takes half a day. Our team handles everything from pipework modifications to setting the correct salt levels, and we always leave you with a clear walkthrough of how your new softener works.
Ongoing Support for Mere Customers
A water softener isn’t a fit-and-forget purchase. Salt needs topping up, resin beds need occasional attention, and moving parts wear over time. We offer annual servicing plans that keep your system running at peak efficiency year after year.
Living close to the Somerset border doesn’t mean you’re out of our range. Mere falls comfortably within our regular service routes, so call-outs and deliveries are never a problem. We also supply block salt and tablet salt with free local delivery.
If you’re tired of scrubbing limescale off your taps and worrying about your boiler, give us a call on 01202 828 241. We’ll arrange a free home survey and show you exactly what a water softener can do for your home in Mere.

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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
