Hard water has become a commonplace issue in homes across the country. Based in Andover, in the South, we know this issue too well. Limescale buildup can take its toll on your appliances, and your skin. Neither is good for your bank balance or quality of life.
That’s why we offer water-softening solutions to help you create a more comfortable and more efficient home.
How Does a Home Water Softener Work?
A water softener removes calcium and magnesium, which cause hard water. They lead to the pesky buildup that you see on your bathroom and kitchen fixtures, and even more troubling, limescale buildup in your plumbing system.
Installing your water softener with Humphrey & Crockett.
We recommend Duaflo water softeners as they pump the water through a process where crystal resin beads help remove the limescale and minerals.
It’s low-maintenance and only needs to be periodically topped up with salt blocks. It’s easy and straightforward, plus, we can supply you with the salt blocks so your unit runs smoothly. This is also the only process in the Duaflow system that needs a consumable source.
Installation is fast and can be done in a few hours, so there’s minimal disruption to your home. Plus, the unit can be placed inside or outside your home as long as there’s access to an incoming water pipe. It doesn’t take up much space, so it’s perfect for a variety of properties, small and large!

Hard water can cause dry skin and issues with the your scalp and hair. Like the buildup on your appliances, the same scale ends up on your skin, which can cause irritation and other health conditions.
