BWT WS355 Standard Electronic Water Softener, Blue, 14 Litre

Had this installed by a professional but it seemed fairly straight forward. It takes up under half a double under counter cupboard but can’t have a shelf as well. We had to cut the bottom out of the cupboard so it sits on the floor as there wasn’t enough room with the sink. It seems to work really well, we don’t get through much salt (3 persons) half a large bag in 2/3 months. Totally silent. Hadn’t needed one before but moved in to a hard water area and in only a few months the limescale was already corroding taps and appliances. The water feels much smoother, no white water marks and I am reassured I am protecting my appliances. This was the cheapest price around for this style. Very impressed would get one again if we moved in to a hard water area

Good size, fits easily under counter top. Used as a replacement so easy and straight forward to install.

Works well, seems sturdy enough. Hard to install because the overflow is a rigid pipe connection and the outlow hose does not fit on a standard washing machine spigot or anything else I could find - had to install a standpipe for it.

I purchased this to replace an existing water softener. However the discharge from the regenerative cycle and the overflow need two separate pipe outlets so pipe works needed and another hole in the wall to an outside drain. A real pain, but the softener works brilliantly

The electronic control enables the recharge cycle to be restricted to a time of day when minimal or no water is being used, thus avoiding hard water as the recharge takes place.

Does what a water softener should do. East to use and install. all parts necessary included.

Easy to install, as it replaced a preexisting one. Unfortunately, we've had to have the service engineers out three times in the time we've had it. The first was to repair a manufacturing fault which caused it to leak, the second was to fix another fault which caused it to leak, and the third time was to repair a cracked part, which was leaking from the day after the second repair. All three times the leak has been internal, so was drained away by the overflow, but this soaks the outside of the house with salty water. The fault reporting procedure is straight forward, and you always get through to a person, fairly quickly, and they're always helpful. The three service reps have been friendly and helpful, as well. Which is just as well, as I see them more often than some family members. Luckily, all these faults have been covered by the warranty, which is just as well, because the amount it would have cost to repair would have encouraged me to dump this one and buy a different brand.

We had the make installed in our previous home moved home found we had very hard water install a new one lovely soft water Now
