FAQs

Why is water purification important in Harrogate?

Harrogate’s municipal water is perfectly safe to drink, but it is classed as moderately hard and can contain dissolved minerals, traces of chlorine used for disinfection, and occasional sediments picked up on the way to your tap. A dedicated purification system removes these unwanted substances, improving taste and smell, protecting appliances from limescale, and giving you clearer, softer water for drinking, bathing and cooking.

What types of water purification systems do you install?

We offer a complete range of solutions, including reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking-water units, whole-house activated-carbon filtration, ion-exchange water softeners, ultraviolet (UV) sterilisation for bacteria control, and combination systems that tackle multiple issues at once. Each product is WRAS-approved and sized to suit everything from small apartments to large commercial premises.

How do I know which system is right for my property?

Our engineers will carry out a free, on-site water test to measure hardness, total dissolved solids, chlorine content and flow rate. We then discuss your water-usage patterns, space constraints and budget before recommending a tailored solution. You’ll receive a written report with clear performance data and a quotation, so you can make an informed choice.

Will a purification system eliminate limescale problems?

Yes—if limescale is your main concern, an ion-exchange water softener is the most effective option. It replaces hardness-causing calcium and magnesium ions with harmless sodium ions, preventing scale build-up in kettles, boilers and pipework. If you also want to improve taste or remove chlorine, we can combine the softener with carbon filtration or RO for comprehensive treatment.

How much maintenance do these systems require?

Most units need only minimal upkeep. Carbon and RO filters are usually changed every 6–12 months, depending on usage and water quality. Water softeners require salt top-ups every few weeks and an annual service check to ensure the resin bed is regenerating properly. UV lamps are replaced once a year. We offer affordable maintenance plans and send automated reminders so you never miss a service.

Are water purification systems environmentally friendly and cost-effective?

Absolutely. By removing the need for single-use bottled water, a typical household can cut plastic waste by over 1,000 bottles a year. Softer water also improves appliance efficiency, reducing energy bills and extending the life of boilers and washing machines. Most customers find their system pays for itself within 3–5 years through lower utility costs, reduced cleaning-product use and elimination of bottled-water purchases.
