Choosing the Right Water Softener

Softeners are sized by resin capacity and controlled either by a meter (regenerates based on actual water usage, more efficient) or a timer (regenerates on a fixed schedule, simpler). Household size, number of bathrooms, and local water hardness all affect the right size — as a general guide, a 2-3 bedroom home typically needs a 10-15 litre metered softener, while larger households or hard water areas may need more.

Frequently asked questions

Sizing depends on your household size, number of bathrooms, and local water hardness. As a general guide, a 2-3 bedroom home typically suits a 10-15 litre metered softener, while larger households or very hard water areas need more capacity. Contact us with your postcode and household size and we'll help you find the right size.

A metered softener regenerates based on actual water usage, which is more efficient and uses less salt and water over time. A timed softener regenerates on a fixed schedule regardless of usage, which is simpler but less efficient for variable households.

This varies by softener size, household usage, and water hardness, but most domestic softeners need topping up every few weeks to a couple of months. Metered softeners generally use less salt than timed models since they only regenerate when needed.

Confident DIYers can often fit a softener themselves, but professional installation ensures correct plumbing, bypass, and drain connections. We offer local installation across North Shropshire, and can advise on DIY fitting for customers further afield.

We stock softeners built on Fleck, Autotrol, Clack, and Kinetico valves, alongside our own Wrekin Water range — covering everything from compact cabinet models to commercial twin-tank systems.
