Little Plumber water softeners

It ’ s been a long , long time since the very first Little Plumber electronic de-scaler rolled off the production line and thousands have now been sold all around the world . Over twenty years in fact ! Gavin Beaumont found he was out of a job and got bored . Gavin had started and was Chairman of a very successful Public Company called Splash Products PLC but was taken over in a hostile bid 23 years later by a Company headed by Theo Paphitis of Dragons Den fame !
Not wanting to return to employing hundreds of staff as he once did , Gavin started a small on-line Mail Order Company called Splendid Products Ltd and created the brand Little Plumber .
Twenty years later the Little Plumber range now consists of both domestic and commercial units , and these are all made by hand in a dedicated factory in Ceredigion , Wales .
The cost of energy is soaring and the one thing no industry wants is to add to the already rising costs involved in water heating with the additional burden of Limescale which can add up to 70 % of overall energy costs in areas with hard water .
From dishwashers to steam ovens , from cooling towers and compressors , catering equipment and whole buildings , all will benefit from running more efficiently with the installation of a Little Plumber unit .
The new LPooo range is the very latest in the treatment of water minerals using low frequency radio waves . Once considered to be “ snake-oil ” technology the thousands of users can now testify to the efficacy of the product . The latest range now employs a 5v USB input in all models so you can basically use your standard phone-charger as a power source although mains adapters are provided with every unit .
