Water Softner installation advise

[ichayan]

If you're short of space, consider a corner of the kitchen (if you don't have corner units)

You will still need to get at the softener, especially for adding salt, sometimes for maintenance.

You can hinge a piece of worktop with counter-flap or bar-hinges

Softeners are very heavy when full, so better standing on the floor than inside a cupboard

Fit full-bore valves, and large-bore hoses for improved water flow, especially if you have a combi. The large-bore ones are more expensive.

Also consider looking up your local water-softener merchant (there will be one) especially if they provide service and repairs. They may sell an own brand and be reluctant to repair other cheap makes. They probably also deliver salt (never carry it in your own car, a single spilled grain can eat a hole through the floor)

Thank you very much for your inputs, much appreciate.

With good reason, by the looks of it. For a start, it's not been WRAS approved for connection to a mains water supply, so it can't legally be fitted in the UK at all unless it's softening water from a storage tank. Only one cylinder, so it'll only soften water when it's not regenerating (Harvey's can soften and regenerate at the same time), and it can't take block salt. I'd contest that it's less than ¼ of the price of a Harvey one as well - I supply and fit Harvey ones for £1200... Other than that, yeah, possibly a good deal :-/

Do you cover east London and what model comes at this price?

No, I don't - I'm in Oxfordshire. It's the standard Dualflo twin block softener that I supply at that price
