Kinetico Premier Plus Water Softener Installation

Your water softener would normally be installed at the point the external water supply enters the building. In most instances, it will be where your stop cock is located. This would normally be positioned under a sink but could be found under stairs for example.

The Kinetico Premier softener will be fitted by Perfect Water Systems technicians who are professional and fully-trained with all the necessary plumbing experience to fit your new water softener. In order to assess the plumbing in your home, we will visit your property beforehand ensuring the installation on the day is seamless.

Fitting would normally take approximately 4 hours depending on the complexity of the installation and exactly where your stop cock is located.

Water Softener Maintenance

Adding salt to your machine is the only maintenance you’ll have to do.

Depending on usage, we advise that every week you simply open the front cover of the machine to check the salt. We recommend approximately one block per person, per month.
