Water Softener Installation

County Kildare has hard water, among the hardest in Ireland. Hard water deposits limescale in your pipes, cylinders, boiler and appliances. Over time it causes serious damage and dramatically reduces efficiency.

A properly installed water softener protects your entire plumbing system, extends the life of appliances, and you'll notice the difference immediately, softer skin, cleaner showers, spotless taps.

60%
Reduction in limescale build-up with a softener installed
2×
Longer appliance life in softened water areas vs hard water
Hard
County Kildare water classification, softener strongly recommended
Typical timeframe: 2–4 hours. Price guide: €1,000–€1,800 supply and install, depending on unit and location.
