Why Do i neeD A wateR soFteneR? AlmosT 70% of our wATer contain minerals which make the water hard. These form lime scale in hot water systems, on taps, baths, shower heads and screens. The scale in hot water systems fur up pipes and reduces water flow, it also coats heating coils and elements dramatically reducing the ability to heat the water. Scale acts as an insulator causing electric elements to over heat and fail, resulting in expensive repair costs and higher heating bills. Fitting a water softener will prevent this happening but over time it will remove most traces of existing scale from the system. some of The AreAs where sofTened wATer is beTTer! Personal washing Soft water will allow the soap to lather more easily enabling you to wash in silky luxury with no hard scum being formed Showering Shampoos also work more effectively in soft water needing only a fraction of the normal amount of shampoo, soap or gell, as there is no sticky hard water scum ,you are left with fresh feeling soft & silky skin. The shower head, screens, tray and tap stay clean and do not get coated in unsightly white lime scale. Water heating when hard water is heated lime scale is deposited in the hot water tank or heat exchanger (in a combi boiler) which rapidly reduces the heating efficiency causing the boiler to take longer to heat the water up and use more fuel, it could also cause the hot water tank or heat exchanger to fail prematurely costing hundreds of pounds to replace! bath time can only be described as luxurious! bath oils feel so much softer and bubbles last the whole time of the bath every one loves the wonderful relaxing feeling of a bath in soft water! ………you will never bathe in hard water again!
