The amount of flow you need (generally) dictates the size of the unit. The size of your house generally dictates how much flow you need. Screwfix carry a line of averagely reviewed ones that we used as an initial ballpark of size/vague cost of unit needed. Worth thinking about where you want to locate it alongside your water supply that can be adequately powered/accessed. That was the tough bit for us as our water supply comes under the back of kitchen cabinets, but the meter and stopcock are halfway down kitchen along the pipe run, which really limited where we could put in the unit.
It seems almost impossible to find a price online for them, they all appear to be sold by the equivalent of double glazing companies.
Very much felt this too.

It's an EcoWater refiner 500 - does carbon filtration as well as water softening.
It was £1,300 (excl. labour) for the unit. Another £350 for parts and labour but that also included fitting washing machine water and waste pipe in the garage as we're moving that.
They did an incredible job with the pipework and setup; super neat.
After a few days use, it looks like salt will need refilling every 200 days, at a cost of around £25 (5 bags from Costco).
Not sure where you're based but would massively recommend Aqua Sensation. They've done 5 in our road so far....

Anyone else any recommendations?
Have nothing but good things to say about their system. We are in SE London and have had it for about 18 months, it made a huge difference to our water. We used the test strips before and after install and went from 250-500ppm down to 0-50ppm. Huge thumbs up from us.

Ha, after cleaning loads of limescale marks at the weekend I was just coming here to ask if anyone has a water softener.

What did you go for @Soul ? It looks a fair bit bigger than the ones I was looking at from the likes of Harvey's. Anyone else any recommendations?
