The difference at home

What softened water actually changes

Kent has some of the hardest water in the country. A water softener removes the calcium and magnesium that cause limescale, so the everyday problems of hard water simply stop.

  • ✓
    No more limescale on taps, kettles, showerheads and tiles, plus the pipework and appliances you can't see.
  • ✓
    Appliances last longer and run more efficiently. Boilers, dishwashers and washing machines work less hard, for longer.
  • ✓
    Softer skin and hair, softer laundry, and many customers tell us softened water has eased dry skin and eczema.
  • ✓
    Less cleaning, less product. Soap and detergent lather more, so you use less and scrub far less.

Why Aqua Soft

What customers say

Trusted across Kent, long after installation

★★★★★
I had both a water softener and a reverse osmosis system installed back in February, and after three months testing both, I'm very impressed. What really sets Aqua Soft apart is their ongoing support. Any queries since have been dealt with promptly and with great care. A huge thank you to Tristan, Adam and Conor, who've been absolutely fantastic. It's clear they take real pride in their work and in looking after their customers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Aqua Soft to anyone. Five stars, without a doubt.

Common questions

Water softeners in Kent, your questions answered

How does a water softener improve water quality?
A water softener removes hardness-causing minerals such as calcium and magnesium from your water supply. This gives you softer water that feels gentler on your skin, reduces soap residue, and helps leave your clothes, dishes, taps, showers and surfaces noticeably cleaner.
Can a water softener help reduce limescale?
Yes. One of the main benefits of a water softener is that it helps prevent limescale build-up in your plumbing, taps, showers, kettles, dishwashers and other water-using appliances. This can help keep water flowing smoothly and protect your home from the long-term effects of hard water.
Will a water softener help my appliances last longer?
A water softener can help protect appliances by reducing the limescale that builds up inside them. Less scale means your kettle, dishwasher, washing machine, boiler and shower can work more efficiently and may need fewer repairs over time.
Is softened water better for your skin?
Yes, softened water can feel much gentler on the skin. Hard water can leave behind mineral residue, which may make skin feel dry or tight. By reducing these minerals, a water softener can help your skin feel smoother, softer and more comfortable after washing.
Is softened water better for hair?
Softened water can be kinder to your hair because it reduces the minerals that can leave hair feeling dry, dull or heavy. Many people find that their hair feels softer, smoother and easier to manage after switching to softened water.
Does soft water make cleaning easier?
Yes. Soft water helps soap and cleaning products work more effectively, so you can often use less product and still get better results. It also helps reduce the cloudy residue and streaks that hard water can leave behind on surfaces, taps, shower screens and tiles.
Will a water softener help with spotty glasses and dishes?
Yes. Softened water helps reduce the mineral deposits that cause spots, streaks and cloudy film on glasses, dishes and cutlery. This can help your kitchenware come out of the dishwasher looking cleaner, clearer and brighter.
Can a water softener help protect clothes and fabrics?
Yes. Hard water minerals can build up in fabrics, making clothes feel rougher and causing them to wear more quickly. Softened water helps protect your laundry by reducing mineral deposits, helping fabrics stay softer and last longer.
Can softened water save me money?
Yes, softened water can help reduce household costs in several ways. You may use less soap, shampoo, detergent and cleaning products because soft water lathers more easily. It can also help heating systems and appliances work more efficiently by reducing scale build-up, which may lower energy usage and maintenance costs.
Is using a water softener better for the environment?
A water softener can help reduce your household's reliance on detergents, soaps and cleaning chemicals. Because soft water cleans more effectively, you may use fewer products, which can mean less packaging waste and fewer chemicals being washed away into the environment.
Why should I install a water softener in a hard water area?
If you live in a hard water area, a water softener can make a noticeable difference to everyday life. It can help reduce limescale, protect appliances, improve washing and cleaning results, support healthier-feeling skin and hair, and help your home run more efficiently.
How much does a water softener cost in Kent?
Softeners start from £895 for our entry-level EcoSafe, with installation from £475, so an entry-level system fitted is around £1,370. Compact models start from £1,695. Larger homes and whole-home solutions are quoted after a free survey. Every price is published in our brochure, with no hidden extras.
How do I get a price for a water softener?
The best way to get an accurate price is to speak to the team. They can look at your household needs, water usage and installation requirements before recommending the right water softener for your home. Request a price today or talk to us to find out which water softener is right for you.
Do I need a separate drinking water tap?
Only where your water hardness is high enough that softened water would exceed the regulatory sodium limit (200ppm). Kent's hard water means this applies to many homes, so we fit a separate mains-fed hard-water tap as part of a regulation-standard installation. We'll confirm exactly what's needed at your survey.
Which brand of water softener is best?
There's no single "best". The right softener depends on your water, your household size and how the unit will be installed. Because we're fully independent and fit every major brand (Kinetico, Harvey, EcoWater, Hague and more), we recommend the one that genuinely suits you, rather than the only one we're allowed to sell.
How long does installation take?
Most domestic softener installations are completed in a single day by our own engineers, installed to Water Regulations standards. We'll give you a clear timeframe with your fixed-price quote.
Do you deliver salt?
Yes. We run Kent's largest salt-delivery network and bring it straight to your door, so you never have to lug heavy bags home. It's part of the ongoing support that comes with being an Aqua Soft customer.
