Hi

Any idea how I can find a reputable plumber? I googled for one but the 'association of plumbers and heating contractors' website which I found, isn't working!

My mother has a tapworks water softener and we found out it was dripping where the tubes join the main supply. We're also going to contact the company but if they are too expensive, we may just want a plumber.

To be honest, we're not bothered with it and are thinking of having it taken out altogether if we have to deal with hassle like this.

    Thanks for the tips.

    Unfortunately, I live 100 miles away and was just leaving when we found the leak.
