      Installing a Water Softener

........................................................................................................

The best place to install a water softener is in the kitchen or laundry room - or wherever the rising main first emerges but leaving enough pipework for our Plumber London to install branch pipes to supply a tap or two for drinking and garden use. The supply will have to be disconnected for at least two or three hours and you must avoid using any taps in the house except sparingly if there is a water storage tank in the loft.

Water Softeners vary from make to make, but generally the work entails interrupting the rising main at a convenient point above the stopcock and then installing inlet and outlet pipes to the water softener - the later rejoining the old rising main to restore a supply link.

Between the inlet and outlet pipes, a bypass valve will be installed by our plumber to completely disconnect the water softener for future maintenance. This is separated from the automatically controlled one contained within the water softener itself.

Plumber London will also install for both -  the inlet and outlet pipes shut off valves. Sometimes the inclusion of a non-return - air brake valve is required to be installed by the plumber and it will located between the inlet valve and water softener.

In areas ( London ) with particularly high water pressure , the plumber might have to install a pressure reducer between the mains stocpcock and the inlet pipe junction to protect the against exceeding capabilities of the water softener.
