Sussex has some of the hardest water in the UK — over 300ppm of calcium that silently damages your appliances, irritates your skin, and costs you money every day. Simply Softeners provides professional water softener installation across East & West Sussex, from Brighton and Worthing to Crawley, Horsham and Chichester.
"Hard water is costing Sussex homeowners hundreds of pounds a year in wasted detergent, damaged appliances and premature boiler repairs."
— Simply Softeners, Sussex💧 Sussex water hardness averages 300+ ppm — one of the highest in England. Your boiler, taps and appliances are at risk right now.
Most homeowners in Sussex don't realise the true cost of hard water until it's too late. Here's what a professionally installed water softener gives back.
Washing machines, dishwashers, boilers and water heaters all suffer from limescale build-up. Soft water can dramatically extend their working lifespan.
Shampoo, conditioner, soap, detergent, cleaning products — you'll use significantly less of all of them when your water is soft.
Less plastic packaging, fewer chemicals down the drain, and lower energy bills from a scale-free boiler. Soft water is the eco-smart choice.
Hard water strips moisture from skin and hair. Soft water is gentler, leaving skin feeling nourished and hair noticeably silkier.
Sparkling taps, streak-free showers, and spotless kitchen surfaces — from day one. No more scrubbing away chalky deposits.
Water is classified as "Hard" above 150 ppm and "Very Hard" above 300 ppm. Most of Sussex sits firmly in the very hard range — well above the threshold where a water softener pays for itself within two years.

"The difference was immediate. Our shower screen is spotless, the kettle doesn't fur up, and my skin feels genuinely softer. I wish we'd done this years ago."
"Really professional from start to finish. The survey was genuinely no-obligation, the quote was fair, and the installation was done in about three hours. Very tidy job."
"Our washing machine was nearly ruined by limescale. Since installing the softener six months ago our detergent lasts twice as long and everything just feels cleaner."
Everything you need to know about water softening in Sussex.
If you live in Sussex, the answer is almost certainly yes. Look for white chalky deposits around taps and showerheads, a film on your kettle element, or needing large amounts of shampoo to lather. We can also test your water for free during a survey visit.
Most residential installations across Sussex are completed in 2 to 4 hours. The softener is typically installed near the stopcock in a kitchen cupboard, utility room or garage. Whether you're in Brighton, Worthing, Horsham or Chichester, you'll have soft water running throughout your home the same day.
The main ongoing task is keeping the salt topped up — typically a bag every 6 to 8 weeks depending on your household size and water usage. Beyond that, an annual service check is recommended. The unit itself is highly reliable and requires minimal intervention.
Softened water is safe for most people. However, as it contains slightly elevated sodium levels, some people prefer to keep one tap on the unsoftened supply for drinking water. We can advise on the best setup during your survey.
Savings vary by household but typically include reduced detergent and cleaning product usage, longer appliance lifespan, and lower energy bills from a scale-free boiler. Most households across Sussex and the surrounding areas recoup the water softener installation cost within 2 to 3 years.
