Water Softeners
There are no two ways about it. If you live in a hard water area – without a water softener - everything in your home will be struggling with the effects of hard water. From your taps, bathroom tiles and shower screens to your heating system and domestic appliances.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does a softener work?
Very very simply – a water softener processes hard water to turn it into soft water. Water comes into the softener and enters the resin or media tank where it goes through a simple process that removes the calcium, magnesium carbonate and manganese from the water, leaving the water soft which then exits to be used around a property.
How much will a water softener cost me?
Like any household appliance, you will find a wide variation of prices across the board. A general rule is that the more you pay, the better quality the product and the greater number of features. Our softeners range from smaller entry level units at around £380 up to £1200 for a softener for a larger residential property.
It is possible to buy very cheap water softeners but these are usually imports with a low build quality and ones that will only offer a short life. By investing in a quality water softener, you will be investing in your home and your family.
How long do water softeners last?
All softeners have a specific life. Again, the less expensive the softeners will only have a 2 year warranty – after this period of time, you will be looking at replacing certain parts or even starting again with a new softener. Like most purchases, it is far better to do a bit of research, find the best match in terms of your needs against the attributes of the softener and then make your purchase. A quality softener will last for at least 10 years. Mid price range softeners will last anything between 5 and 8 years. It will also be dependent on the amount of water that flows through the machine – the amount of water the household is using and the quality of the resin.
