What are Inline Water Softeners?
Inline water softeners are compact and low profile devices designed to remove the minerals that cause water hardness. They are installed in the water supply line, normally to the cold water pipe supplying the central heating combi boiler or the kitchen sink.
Benefits of Inline Water Softeners
Inline water softeners are compact and portable, making them convenient for travel and mobile homes, while their easy installation and ability to remove minerals improve water quality and protect appliances and fixtures.
Compact, Space Saving Design
Inline water softeners are lightweight and compact, making them easy to install wherever softened water is needed. This makes them ideal for installing under kitchen sinks.
Easy to Install
Inline water softeners are designed for simple installation. Most models come with quick-connect fittings or adapters that allow for easy attachment to the water supply line. No complex plumbing or technical expertise is required.
Improved Water Quality
These devices effectively remove minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which cause water hardness. Softened water improves lathering and rinsing, leaving your skin feeling smoother, clothes softer, and glassware spot-free.
Protect Your Appliances and Fixtures
Inline water softeners help extend the lifespan of appliances and fixtures by reducing mineral build-up. They prevent scale deposits in pipes, showerheads, faucets, and other water-using appliances, resulting in improved efficiency and reduced maintenance costs.
How Do Inline Water Softeners Work?
Inline water softeners use a process called ion exchange to remove minerals from water in the same way that other water softeners do.

Are inline water softeners the best choice?
Whilst inline water softeners are the ideal solution for single sink softening and offer a space efficient solution to combat water hardness, their capacity is limited and is insufficient to serve a whole household.
Consider an under-sink model for the same compact design and easy installation with more softening power.
