Construction and installation: Enquiry form for water softener installers
An enquiry form for water softener installers that collects water use, household size and photos of the water meter and drain, so the right unit and the connection work can be judged in advance.
What makes an enquiry complete for water softener installers.
Water softener installers get enquiries like 'what does a softener cost?'. Whether it becomes a simple job depends on what is around the water meter. Is there room for the unit and salt tank, is there a drain within reach, is there a socket, what kind of pipe comes in? Without photos an engineer has to go and look, or finds on installation day a meter cupboard where nothing fits. The number of occupants and water use also decide which unit is needed, yet many forms never ask. A good form asks for the photos an engineer needs and explains why they matter.

From form to assessed enquiry.
Household and water use
The customer states how many people live there, whether it is a home or business and, if known, the annual water use from the bill. The reason for the enquiry matters too: limescale on fittings, protecting a new boiler or replacing an existing softener. The last one prompts questions about the make and age of the old unit.
Photos of the connection
The form asks for a few targeted photos: the water meter with the pipe before and after it, the space around it, the nearest drain and a socket. Each photo has an example, so the customer knows what to capture. Those who cannot take a photo can give a short description instead.
Assessment and next step
On arrival the consultant sees the answers and photos together. He can put a proposal together straight away if the situation is clear, or book a visit if the drain or space is doubtful. The customer receives a confirmation stating what happens next.
Enquiries in one place, not the inbox.
Water softener installers currently receive enquiries by phone, a contact form or a messaging app with loose photos. The new form puts everything in the mailbox or sales system already in use, with each photo labelled by what it shows. The customer remains owner of his photos and usage data. You decide which photos are mandatory. Existing customers with a replacement question can enter their unit number, so the old installation is found straight away.
Photos required or optional
Photos of meter and drain save a visit and prevent surprises on installation day. Not everyone can or wants to take them straight away, though. Optional with a clear explanation, plus a reminder in the confirmation, usually brings in the most photos without people abandoning the form halfway through.
Direct proposal or always a survey
In a standard situation with good photos a consultant can make a proposal right away. When space, drainage or pipe material is in doubt, a visit is wiser. The form can suggest the logical route based on the answers, while the consultant can always decide otherwise. A short reason with the choice helps the customer see why someone still needs to come round.
New installations and replacements apart
A first softener needs different information from replacing an existing one. With a replacement the connection and drain are usually in place, but make, age and any problems matter. An early choice between new and replacement keeps both routes short and focused, and a replacement can also ask for a photo of the old rating plate.

Read the storyWhich questions the form asks.
The form asks about household, usage and reason, and for photos of meter, space, drain and socket, with a summary for the adviser. What is mandatory we decide with you. Two enquiries go through it beforehand: an ordinary terraced house, and a hair salon with higher usage and a meter cupboard without a drain. A route for replacing an old unit and suggesting a visit time straight away are switched on later using the same enquiry details.

Explore pricing and optionsWhat if the customer does not know his water use?
The number of occupants is enough, or for a business a description of how water is used. Usage appears on the annual bill from the water company, and the form can explain where. If it is missing, the consultant estimates it from the household.
How many photos does a customer need to take?
Usually three or four are enough: the water meter with pipes, the space around it, the nearest drain and a socket. Each has an example. More is fine, but the form only asks for what the consultant genuinely needs.
Can existing customers request servicing through the same form?
Yes, through a separate option for servicing or a fault. The form then asks for the unit number or address and the complaint. The request goes to service scheduling rather than sales, so the customer does not have to file a new installation enquiry.
What if the meter is in a shared cupboard?
The form asks whether the meter is in a private space or a shared cupboard, for instance in a block of flats. With a shared cupboard the consultant sees that permission or another location may be needed, and can allow for that in the proposal.
