I wanted to buy a premier compact water softener after reading reviews online. I found these guys online but still had some questions. I gave them a call and the lady on the phone was most helpful. She told me everything I needed to know about he softener itself and what was required for an installation and I actually needed a fit kit too. She then arranged for a free next day delivery for me. Great product and great service.

THE DIFFERENCE IS AMAZING

Katherine Rivett

August 2020

I purchased a water softener from NE water softeners because my home water is very hard. I’ve always had limescale around my bathroom and home but I had started to notice it was affecting my appliances and washing machine.

Hazel came down and tested my water - sure enough it was hard! We then looked through different options and price plans to suit me! The Harvey S4 was a good choice and honestly this difference is amazing!

There is less limescale build up but I’ve also noticed differences in my washing and even with my hair!

The service was good and I’m glad I made the investment.

WELL WORTH EVERY PENNEY

Tina Fisher

North east water softeners installed our twin tank non-electric water softener system approximately 5 years ago. We had moved into a hard water area and had no end of problems in the new house due to the build up of limescale, not to mention continually dirty looking taps, shower screen and sink etc. I also suffer with a mild case of eczema which was being made worse by the hard water. I am very pleased to say that it was an excellent investment. Shower screen is always clean, nice shiny taps, kettle never furs up, I only use half the amount of washing powder and shampoo etc, and my skin has reaped in the benefits. 

The service we received from North East Water Softeners was excellent.  Fast and clean installation.  They were also very informative and helpful – non nonsense sales technique.  They also supply us with replacement salt blocks and their prices are the same as you would get on line and they deliver to your door (very quickly). 

We have since moved house and we brought the water softener with us so we are still using it and expect to for many more years to come. Well worth every penny.

Thanks!

After a brief discussion on the phone the company arranged to visit my home to assess potential to install the softening unit.
Identifying the best location and giving a reasonable quote , an installation date was arranged. Professional installation, clean working and fully explaining units operation and any requirements for salt replacement. Installation was only 3 hrs.
We live in a very hard water area and had struggled for years to descale kettles, taps, toilets and showers. After 3 months we don't need to any of the tasks.
The use of detergents , soap , washing liquids and shampoos are reduced so in the end the unit will pay for itself.
My wife is extremely happy with the performance of the unit and only needs block salt replacement every 3 -4 weeks. Easy to do.
A delighted customer who wished we had installed it years earlier.

Had a water softener and a drinking water filter system installed by North East Water Softeners a few years ago and have been very pleased with these products. When I need to order salt or a new filter I email the company and always get a prompt response and fast free delivery. Excellent service.

I enquired about having a water softener installed as I was about to have a new boiler and new bathrooms fitted, I live in Hartlepool and have suffered from hard water marks/lime issues on and in things for years. Hazel came out to see me and explained all options, benefits, did water test, showed me examples of lime damage. She was very professional and helpful.
I went for the newest model the TwinTec S4. Installation arrangement with Naomi was smooth, and the installation itself was excellent. Kevin one of the business owners did this and like Hazel, he was very pleasant as well extremely knowledgable. The fitting only took a few hours and didn’t take up too much room in my kitchen cupboard. The unit is not noisy and can come with me if I move house.
Since install, I have not noticed any water marks on my new bathroom or en-suite shower cubicle. The water is soft and although it tastes different I don’t mind it at all.
Salt deliveries are easy by text message and the delivery is free and extremely efficient.
I have dealt with many companies in the past for a number of things but I feel this company has got it right, they run the full business between only a few of them but these people are extremely good at what they do, I wish all firms were as good as them.

i found north east water softeners very helpful. no hassle quotation, and the fitters did a very neat job of the installation of the softener that involved some cutting out of my kitchen unit due to restricted head space due to large belfast sink.

We had a water softener installed by North East Water Softeners in January 2020. Prior to the installation our water was very hard and really horrible - lots of limescale that left a deposit on every surface, 'scum' on the top of cups of tea and coffee, and was unpleasant to shower or bath in. Since then, the water is MUCH more pleasant, both to drink and to the limescale has completely gone, including the hardened deposits that had built up over the previous four years we had been in our new house. Really please with the product and the service from NEWS.

From the initial contact to the fitting of the water softener the whole process was painless. Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient staff.
2-3 months on and there is a noticeable difference in our shower, my dry skin has improved as predicted. Yorkshire Water said our hardness was 100ppm and borderline so we only tried simple solutions. When I eventually tested it it was 400ppm! We wish we did this 30 years ago. Thank you

IT'S GREAT TO HAVE SOFT WATER AGAIN

Elaine Magee  
York
June 2019 

We were relieved to discover North East Water Softeners when our vintage softener no longer worked. The response to our sales enquiry was impressively quick and our installation was very straightforward and done without any mess or disturbance. The machine is much smaller than the old one and has the bonus of using easy to handle block salt and no need for an electrical supply or maintenance. It's great to have permanent soft water again as we live in an area with very hard water.

We had a Twin Tec water softener fitted last week by Kevin, a very neat and tidy job by a very professional worker,following the visit by Hazel who explained fully the advantages of a water softener, and answered all our questions fully. Now having had the benefit of it for only a few days, all the advantages are being seen, shining glass , china and cutlery from the dishwasher, no longer a bitter taste and no scum on tea, everything lather,s quicker , and skin feels softer, also hair is shining, the other benefits we are sure will come as promised in time. The unit fits very neatly under the sink, and is easily accessible. Thank you for introducing us to the benefits of water softening.

WE REALLY CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE

Michael & Lisa
Sunderland
October 2018

I live in a hard water area and only moved here 6 months ago after renovating the property. Because we have a lot of new appliances/fittings in the house the scale from the hard water was really visible. Things like the kettle and the shower showed me how hard the water was and I had a lot of scale in a short space of time. Now I have the softeners fitted this scale is no more. Things like a clear shower screen and shiny taps visually show us the difference but you can also feel the difference when washing on both your skin and your hair. Clothing feels to be softer and soaps appear to go further than they did before. After seeing the difference in things like the taps, shower, kettle and shower screen etc. I can only imagine what issues the hard water cause in things we cannot see like washing machine, dishwasher and central heating boiler. Very happy with the service we received and would recommend.

Kind Regards

"BRILLIANT WATER SOFTENER AND BRILLIANT SERVICE"

Chris and June Dinnewell 
Ampleforth
October 2018
 

When we moved to Ampleforth, North Yorkshire from Cambridgeshire two years ago we thought that we were leaving hard water problems behind so when we found out the water in our area is just as hard we decided to do something about it. North East Water Softeners helped us choose a water softening system that was right for us and we haven’t looked back since. The pleasure of limescale free showers and sink tops together with the cost savings in soaps, washing powders and conditioners, etc. have been a revelation that has contributed to reassuring us that we have made the right decision. An unexpected benefit has been the improvement in the condition of my skin which before was always dried out and required lots of E45 cream but not anymore. All in all we were so pleased we convinced our next door neighbours to look into water softeners and now they have one too!

"GREAT SAVINGS THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE"

CGH Belsom 
North Yorkshire
October 2018

We have had our water softener for a number of years now and it has been a really worthwhile investment. Living in a hard water area we were very used to limescale on the taps, shower heads and kettle etc. The softener very quickly put an end to all of that, and it has made our hot water system more efficient (no limescale deposits on the heating elements) which I am sure has saved on heating bills. We use much less dishwasher and washing machine powders, and less soap generally; the water is always quick to lather and the system is easy and cheap to run. We have been very happy with the system installed, and with the efficient and courteous service that we always receive from the team at North East Water Softeners.

I DEFINITELY USE LESS SOAP NOW!

Bob Purvis
Richmond, North Yorkshire
October 2018

Yes,I've now had lovely soft water since October the twelfth and you'll be pleased to learn that I'm delighted with the performance of the appliance that Kevin installed on that day. I can feel a distinct difference each time I wash my hands or have a bath. I definitely use less soap now, and my skin is smoother. I'm very pleased to note that the limescale that had been clinging to my electric kettle has now all gone, and all the sinks and wash-basins in the house are clear too. Even the marble work-tops in my kitchen are now back to their original glossy look. I shall really appreciate now no longer having to remove limescale from my taps, bath, sink and washbasins with wire-wool and assorted brands of limescale-remover; a job I always hated doing. I'm so glad I contacted you and am very satisfied with your product. Best wishes.

I WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS YEARS AGO

Amanda 
Haxby, York 
October 2018

I would like to share my great joy at owning a water system, designed to meet my needs by Hazel and Kevin at NE Water Softeners. Within a matter of days, skin conditions disappeared and I know that pure water will be doing lots more good inside, not only soft hair and skin that can be seen. I’ve saved £100’s on bottled water and no longer contribute to the global plastic burden we all hear so much about. Save money on washing detergents, with softer results. No more washer, dishwasher, kettle or tap descaling. The shower, bath and toilet are easier to clean. I wish I’d known about this years ago!

"MUCH SOFTER SKIN"

Sue Simpson
Sunderland
August 2018

 I chose the high spec system and am very pleased with the result. Hazel personally explained all systems to us, and was very informative and on the ball. Kevin fitted the system the very next day. He explained everything in detail as he went along and did a great job. What a professional and pleasant pair they are.
As a result of having the system installed, I immediately noticed the difference in the amount of bubbles!!! Also skin is much softer and no white marks left on the shower screen and no furring of kettles etc. I would not hesitate in recommending North East Water Softeners. They did a great job.

We love our water softener! Not only was the water noticeably softer on our skin, it tasted better and even made cleaning clothes and bathrooms easier! Service from NE Water Softeners has been fantastic - wouldn't use anyone else for install or our refills now. Thanks both for doing a great job!

"ONLY WISH WE BOUGHT IT SOONER!"

John Darmody
Pocklington

 We purchased our water softener due to the very hard water we have in our area and have had it now for four months. The difference in the quality of water is amazing and we noticed the difference almost immediately. Our taps and kettle stopped furring up, our shower cubicles no longer have streaks after showering and are much easier to clean, the water tastes better and, best of all, my wife is much happier with the softness of her skin and hair. The installation of our water softener was completed within a few days of agreeing the sale and was done with care and efficiency. We are genuinely delighted with our water softener and only wish that we had bought it sooner.

"DELIGHTED TO HAVE FLUFFY TOWELS AGAIN"

Jan Groves 
Pocklington
August  2018

We have had water softeners at several previous homes, but when we moved to Yorkshire space was at a premium so we decided to do without.  What a mistake!  After two years struggling with rock hard towels and bed linen, plus lank hair and itchy skin, we contacted North East Water Softeners and they fitted a Twin Tec.  Kevin even managed to put it under the sink without losing too much space and we are delighted to have fluffy towels and comfortable bed linen again.  It is working well and definitely worth the small inconvenience of losing half a shelf!

"DRY AND IRRITATED SKIN GONE"

Liz Full  
Sutton, York
July 2018
 

 Before the water softener was installed we had really bad limescale on all taps, it was so bad that we had previously had to replace some taps as the limescale had eaten through the metal. Also limescale was growing quickly on the new shower which prompted us to do something about it. Within a couple of weeks of the water softener being installed the limescale started to fall off the taps plus the shower is as good as new with no horrible looking water marks and it doesn't need cleaning as much. We are also using less shampoo as it foams up easier plus we dont suffer from dry skin as much. Other benefits is that the kettle hasn't been de-scaled since and the Iron hasn't leaked any scaly water whilst using.

CHROME AND TILES LIMESCALE FREE

Amanda Thompson 
Ampleforth, York
November 2017

We have had our water softener about a year now. Having moved to a new area we were struggling to adapt to a new type of water. It was very hard, leaving marks on the chrome and tiles. We also noticed changes to our skin because of the hardness. North East Water softeners was recommend to us by a neighbour. From our first contact with Hazel to installation, we have found the company to be very professional and knowledgeable. This resulted in having installed the most appropriate softener for us. We now have soft water, chrome and tiles are no longer marked and our skin feels better. We would not hesitate to recommend this company.
