Why Have a Water Softener?

Anybody who has enjoyed the advantages of a water installed in their home will almost always choose to continue with softened water and will not want to go back to untreated water.

Here are the main reasons why:

1/ Your skin will feel softer and your hair silky and easy to manage.

2/ Enjoy clothes that feel softer and towels more luxuriant.

3/ No white streaks and spots on dishes and glasses. Experience sparkling cutlery and glasses instead.

4/ Shower heads will be clear, sinks and baths shiny and surfaces clear of watermarks.

5/ Extend the lifetime of household appliances that use water. Washing machines, kettles, boilers, central heating systems will last longer with greater intervals between servicing.

6/ Save money on heating bills. A heating element free of scale is much more efficient and can save lots of money over the course of a year.

7/ Use less soap, shampoo and detergents. Soft water only needs a little detergent to make a nice creamy lather. These savings add up.

8/ Help the environment - With less energy used and less detergents needed this can really make a difference to your carbon footprint and lessen environmental damage.

9/ Reduce time spent cleaning. With cleaner baths, sinks, taps and showers, time spend cleaning and polishing is kept to a minimum.

10/ Softened water can even dissolve existing limescale deposits away over time to improve appearance and functionality.

Installing a water softener in the home can really make a difference to the quality of everyday life. With surfaces and equipment free of stains and scale your home will look cleaner and brighter. Central heating systems and boilers will work more efficiently. Your washing machines will wash better, last longer and need less washing powder. Add in the extra financial savings on heating efficiency and servicing together with less soap, shampoos and detergents needed then it hard to ignore the benefits.

All this and it's much better for the environment too!

A local plumber can install a water softener in a few hours or you can install it yourself if you have some experience. The only additional costs are for salt tablets that the softener needs to rejuvenate itself regularly. Most homes will find that typical 25kg bags of salt tablets will last a couple of months or so. This is an ongoing cost but is more than made up for by the savings the water softener makes in other areas.

Remember that most people who have a water softener would never go back to being without. That is the best recommendation of all.
