Our water softeners feature a high-efficiency design that makes them great for busy facilities like commercial kitchens, hotels and gyms because they can treat large amounts of water quickly and easily.

Hard water can be expensive for your business

Water Softeners are important because they help to reduce the costs associated with hard water conditions. Hydroworks provides its customers with expert advice, service, custom installations, and quality products that last.

Our technical ability to problem solve gives us the edge

It's important to know how hard water affects your business. Only then can you make an informed decision on how best to treat the effects of hard water. Every business is different and requires careful thought.

From as far back as 1926, ER Longley has had a very strong relationship with the commercial sector. We continue this tradition, but now have a much range of products to offer.

As Managing Director and Head of Future, I continue the company's commitment to the commercial sector by bringing significant commercial water softener knowledge and expertise to the business.

Since taking over the business in 2016, I (Laurence Willis) have driven the business further down the commercial route. Today we work closely with many launderettes, nursing homes, care homes, NHS sites, and commercial kitchens. We also have a strong presence in guest houses, bed & breakfasts and hotels across Kent, South East London and Sussex.

Here are some of the effects of hard water you may recognise in your business:

  • Shower screens, tiles, taps, sinks and toilets are probably damaged with hard water staining caused by limescale
  • Flow rates reduce, and temperatures fluctuate as hard water clogs tap and shower cartridges
  • Cleaning and detergent costs are much higher than they need, as hard water takes a lot more time, effort and cost to control and manage.
  • Equipment downtime as maintenance repairs take time, spares cost more, and the more a machine breaks, its life is reduced.
  • Your laundry takes a real hit as your towels, staff uniforms, tablecloths, and bed linens have a faded, rough appearance with a shorter life.
  • You may even have clients with dry skin conditions, eczema, psoriasis, or dandruff , or even have staff who have found that the cleaning and washing they are doing results in dry, chapped hands.
  • Water stains on cutlery, crockery and glassware.

You manage your business. Let us manage your water

Why are we different?

First and foremost, we know what we are doing . We just get commercial softening, how to go about it, how to get the best quality water, how to maintain water softening equipment properly, and how to get the best lifespan from your softeners.

We care about keeping installation and maintenance costs low, so we'll advise you on the best maintenance plan or package for looking after your business and equipment.

We have some excellent payment plans that enable you to spread the cost of maintenance over the course of the year or agreement period, which can include regular check-ups to ensure that everything is operating as it should, thus reducing the cost of actual servicing.

Our care packages can also include salt , and we'll keep your softener topped up, checking the soft water quality on each refill.

Water Softener Benefits

Installing a water softener provides a wide array of advantages for both businesses and households. From enhancing the taste and quality of food and beverages to protecting expensive equipment from damaging scale buildup, softened water can lead to better outcomes and long-term savings across industries. Discover the key benefits as they apply to different sectors below.

Bakeries

Every Baker's Aspiration – Delicious baked goodies, baked to perfection with softened, filtered water.

Bars

Softened water helps glasses sparkle and protects glass washers, ice machines, and bar equipment from limescale.

Bed & Breakfasts

The luxury of staying personal – When delighting your customers is your priority, giving them softened water is very important.

Breweries

The best drinks have the best water – Softened water contributes body and mouthfeel to beer and whisky. Blending calcium into the water, too.

Care & Nursing Homes

Protect your laundry investment – Hard water is responsible for 70% of failures in care home boilers, dishwashers and washing machines.

Car Washes

Softened water helps reduce spotting, scale build-up, and wear on car wash equipment while improving rinse quality.

Churches

Increase the use of your churches – One of the biggest factors encouraging their use is fresh drinking water.

Coffee Shops & Cafes

Filtered water makes delicious coffee – A cup of coffee is 98% water. Filtering the water is the secret to an authentic flavour.

Dairies & Farms

Protect your bottom line – Keep your milking bottles and dairy scale-free with perfectly softened water.

Dentists

The perfect solution – A dental surgery should ideally have a water softener followed by an RO system to protect its equipment.

Dog Grooming

Softened water can improve rinsing, coat softness, and help protect grooming equipment from limescale.

Factories

Reducing machinery downtime – Many factories have machinery that operates on water. Hard water scale builds up very quickly.

Food Manufacturing

Commercial water softening helps reduce scale build-up, improve efficiency, and protect production equipment.

Golf Clubs

Keeping golfers coming back – A recent study found that a key must-have at golf clubs is softened water, which keeps showers scum-free.

Hairdressers & Salons

Reduce costs and make hair shine – Hard water makes hair dull, increases the speed of hair losing colour, and uses lots more shampoo.

Hospitals

An essential life-saving asset – From the laundry to the kitchens to the wards to essential parts of the patient's treatment, soft water is key.

Hotels

First impressions are lasting – Customers value sparkling bathrooms, super soft towels and bedding & refreshing drinking water.

Launderette

Protect your investment – Hard water affects every area of a launderette. Clients using excess detergent as a result damage more.

Restaurants

Reducing machinery downtime – 50% of water used in a restaurant is in the kitchen, so hard water directly impacts the bottom line.

Schools

Protecting tight school budgets – Softened water makes all the difference in the kitchen, the boilers, the washrooms, and the staff teas!

Squash Clubs

Make showering a WOW experience – After an energy-packed match, your players will look forward to recharging their muscles in completely soft water.

Window Cleaning

Making windows sparkle & spot-free – Proper water quality control in window cleaning is critical to guarantee a spot-free finish & delight customers.
