Water Treatment Services in St Albans

Water treatment covers a lot of ground, so it helps to start with the problem you are trying to fix. Is it limescale on everything? A chlorine taste in drinking water? Sludge in the heating system? We look at what is actually going on in your home and recommend the simplest solution that deals with it, rather than selling the biggest unit in the catalogue.

Treatment options we install

  • Water softeners for whole-house protection from limescale. See our water softener installation page for details.
  • Scale reducers fitted on the incoming main or before a combi boiler, which cut scale build-up without changing the water itself
  • Drinking water filters under the kitchen sink, with a dedicated filtered tap or a three-way tap for improved taste and odour
  • Magnetic system filters on the heating circuit to catch the black sludge that blocks radiators and damages boiler pumps
  • Central heating inhibitor dosing to protect radiators and pipework from internal corrosion

Protecting your boiler and heating system

Most boiler manufacturers ask for a system filter and inhibitor to keep their warranty valid, and in a hard water area a scale reducer on the cold feed to a combi is often a condition too. If your boiler was fitted without these, we can add them in a short visit. It is one of the cheapest ways to extend the life of your heating system.

Testing before we recommend anything

We test water hardness on site and check the condition of your heating water where relevant. If your radiators are cold at the bottom or the system water comes out black, we will tell you straight whether a filter is enough or whether a powerflush is needed first.

We work across St Albans and the surrounding Hertfordshire towns. Call 01727 620 195 to talk through the right option for your home.

Common Questions About Water Treatment

What is the difference between a water softener and a scale reducer?

A softener removes the hardness minerals from the water using ion exchange. A scale reducer does not remove minerals but changes how they behave so less scale sticks to surfaces. Softeners are more effective, scale reducers are cheaper and need no salt.

We recommend one on almost every system. A magnetic filter catches the iron oxide sludge that builds up in radiators and pipes, and most boiler manufacturers require one to keep the boiler warranty valid.

Yes. An under-sink filter with a dedicated tap removes chlorine taste and odour and a range of other impurities, without changing the water used elsewhere in the house.
