Water softeners in Co. Tipperary. Supplied and fitted.

How hard is the water across Tipperary?

Most of Tipperary sits on limestone, from the Suir valley in the south to the plains around Thurles and Nenagh in the north. Public supplies come from the Suir, from springs and from boreholes in that rock, so the water is hard across most of the county. Thurles is around 235 mg/L of calcium carbonate on Uisce Éireann's figures, and our regional figure for Clonmel and Nenagh is about the same. Around Clonmel, softer upland water from the Comeraghs is mixed in, so readings move about. Put your own Eircode into the checker for your street.

At that hardness, immersion elements, electric showers and combi boilers scale up and wear out early. A whole-house softener on the incoming mains stops it.

Which size suits a Tipperary house

On hard water like this the AquaSilk Midi is the usual fit for a three or four bed family home with two bathrooms. The Mini suits apartments, couples and smaller houses and fits under a kitchen sink. The Maxi is for big houses with three or more bathrooms. The size picker below marks the right one for your household.

Private wells in Tipperary

A lot of rural Tipperary houses are on their own well. Well water here is usually hard, but it can also carry iron, manganese or bacteria that a softener on its own will not touch. For a well we send a sample to an accredited lab and specify the system off the results. See our well water treatment page.

Getting it fitted in Tipperary

Every install is done by our own plumbers, not a subcontractor. Order the softener fitted online or ring us, send a photo of your stop valve and the space beside it, and we book a morning or afternoon slot. Two to three hours and you have soft water, with the first salt in the tank. For a price first, use the quote form. The full range and the Ireland-wide hardness chart are on our main water softener page.
