I would highly recommend this company

I would highly recommend this company. I had an old water softener installed by Harvey's that wasn't working properly and was leaking and their customer service was non-existent. I asked Mark to quote me for a new softener. He was very professional and knowledgeable and was not at all pushy and he provided me with a very competitive quote for a Kinetico Premier compact softener. On installation he identified several problems with the original installation and corrected these and tidied up the plumbing. I am very pleased with my new softener and would definitely recommend using AWS.

Unbiased advice, no hard sell

We chose AWS because the advice we were given was unbiased, and came with no hard sell. When Mark came to fit our water softener, the work was carried out tidily and efficiently. When we had a couple of questions after the fitting, Mark came back the same day.

Mark from Advanced Water Softeners

Mark from Advanced Water Softeners installed our soft water system in 2023, and it’s been working perfectly ever since. I’m very happy with both the machine and the service.

Whenever I’ve had questions, like how to use the system. Mark has always been patient and explained everything step by step, making sure I fully understand.

I highly recommend Mark if you're looking to install a soft water system at home.

Water Softner

We are delighted with our new Kinetico water softener. Mark did a great job with the installation and everything he promised he did with no hassle. Great value too. I would have no hesitation in recommending Advanced Water Softeners and the Kinetico product to anyone wanting a limescale free life.

5 Star Service from Kinetico

We recently had a water softener installed by Kinetico.
The service we received was first class from purchasing to installation was faultless. We had a number of companies come out to quote to install a water softener, no hard sell, straight to the point and truly honest. 100% satisfied with installation and equipment.
Very Happy with purchase price as well. Cannot recommend Kinetico enough.,

Water softener installation

Mark arrived on time. He was polite and helpful. The installation of my softener was a slightly unusual one in a cellar, a replacement for one that had been flooded. He made the necessary adaptations to ensure the new one would not flood and would drain properly. His work was thorough and professional. Thanks.

Fantastic Experience with AWS Advanced Water Softeners!

I recently had AWS Advanced Water Softeners install a system in my new house, and wow, they were amazing! Super quick to respond and get everything set up, and the installation was smooth and hassle-free. What impressed me was how friendly and helpful they were, taking the time to explain how everything worked in a way that was easy to understand.

Thanks to the AWS team for their top-notch service and for making this part of moving into my new home such a breeze. Highly recommend them if you're looking for a water softener solution. Great job, AWS!

Outstanding Service

This has to be one of the best companies around. I rang up with a problem and was talked through the remedy at no cost to myself. This was old school customer relations at its best building trust. This will definitely be my go to firm when I need a new appliance. Outstanding service.

Request for Assistance

Mark Smith replied to my text message for assistance, on a Saturday evening. My then water softener was overflowing and contained a considerable amount of 'gunge'. We discussed the problem and it became clear that the water softener need replacing. Mark provided me with a very competitive quote, which I accepted. The new water softener was installed the following Wednesday.

Fantastic !

I have nothing negative to say of this company or system. I was worried we would not be able to have the system as our original kitchen is now my office and that is where the water pipe into the house is housed. Mark arrived at the time he said in order to give his quote. He explained that the unit would have to sit in my office and that he would need to drill a small hole in the wall in order to put a small overflow pipe in. The quote was the standard price for this unit (Premier compact), no extra costs for any extra work needed. On the day of installation, Mark arrived at 9:30 and was finished by just after 11:30. The water was turned off for a very short period of time. He even replaced our 1960's stop cock with a shiny new one at no extra cost (I think it's the stop cock.... the tap). He was reliable and professional. He even took time to make friends with our dog before starting work. The system itself is doing exactly what I have been dreaming of. After a week of showers, the shower door has no signs of any soap scum. It is gleaming and all I have done is rinsed it down with water from the shower after each use. My taps are gleaming. One last thing.....if you are a lady on her own, have no worries about having Mark in your home. He is a gentleman. Thank you !!

Superb service from a local company

From the free quotation to installation everything was easy and hassle free. Mark was friendly and helpful, his recommendation of a local supplier of salt was fantastic as they were cheaper than some other well known sources.

Move to Hampshire.

I recently moved to Hampshire, a very hard water area, and inherited a Kinetico system which needed servicing. Mark was thorough and helpful in explaining the system. I followed his advice re. salt blocks and the difference in the water quality is enormous. A decent cup of tea amongst the many benefits. I would highly recommend both Mark and AWS.
