Prices vary between installers, so the surest way to get value is to compare a few quotes rather than accept the first. When you do, check each quote covers the same things: the exact model and capacity, whether installation, valves, fittings and removal of any old unit are included, the salt type (Tapworks uses Block or tablet salt) and its running cost, and the warranty (2-5 years).
Make sure the installer is WRAS-approved and insured, and ask them to size the unit to your household and local water hardness — an over- or under-sized softener either costs more to run or can’t keep up at peak times. Our vetted installers supply and fit Tapworks across England, Scotland and Wales and quote you directly, so you can compare like-for-like on price, warranty and service.
