Whole home water softener & filter systems

A whole home water softener and filter system is designed to treat your water as it enters your home, helping to provide the benefits of softened and filtered water across the property.

1. Water enters your home

Your mains water supply enters your property and passes through the whole home water system.

2. Water is softened

The water softener helps to remove the minerals responsible for hard water, calcium and magnesium. This helps reduce limescale build-up throughout your plumbing, appliances and surfaces.

3. Water is filtered

Filtration provides an additional stage of treatment, helping to reduce unwanted impurities and improve the taste and quality of drinking water.

4. Filtered water goes to your tap and softened water reaches the rest of your home

Once treated, the water travels where it is needed through your home’s plumbing, meaning you can benefit from filtered water from your kitchen tap and softened water throughout the property.

Why combine softening and filtration?

Softening and filtration perform different roles, which is why installing the two will provide a more complete whole home water solution.

A water softener is designed to tackle the effects of hard water, while filtration helps improve the quality and taste of drinking water. Together, they provide a solution designed around the different ways you use water every day – from showering and washing to drinking and cooking.

From the water you drink to the water used in your shower, washing machine and dishwasher, water plays a role in almost every part of your home.

But just how much water do we use – and how widespread is hard water in the UK?

60% of UK households are affected by hard water

Hard water is a common issue across the UK, with around 13 million households affected. Hard water contains higher levels of calcium and magnesium minerals, which contribute to limescale build-up when water is heated.

323 litres, the average UK household uses this much water every day

Research from Water UK found that the average household in England and Wales uses around 323 litres of water every day. From bathing and cleaning to drinking and cooking, a significant amount of water passes through your home every day.

136.5 litres, the average amount of water used per person each day in England

Government figures show that average household water consumption in England was 136.5 litres per person per day in 2024–25.

What do the numbers mean for your home?

With millions of UK households affected by hard water and hundreds of litres of water being used in the average home every day, treating water at the point it enters your property can make a difference throughout the entire home.

Kinetico’s whole home water solution combines water softening and filtration to address different aspects of your home’s water. The softener helps tackle the minerals responsible for hard water and limescale, while the filter helps reduce unwanted impurities and improves the taste of drinking water.
