Bathroom

Stubborn hard water marks around the bathroom, limescale on taps and blocked shower heads are just a few effects of hard water that make cleaning the bathroom very time consuming

Scale

Scale in your pipes and hot water cylinder will increase your heating costs considerably. Figures show that just 1/4" (6mm) of scale will increase your water heating costs by 50%

Kitchen

Hard Water causes unsightly deposits of limescale on sink surfaces and taps. Extra cleaning time and harsh chemical cleaners are needed to remove it

Appliances

Limescale causes scaling of heater elements in kettles, dishwashers and washing machines, resulting in expensive premature failure and shortened life of the appliance

Skin and Hair

Hard Water leaves scum deposits in hair and on skin and is a factor in many skin conditions including eczema. It also causes dry cracking skin and dull, lifeless and unmanageable hair

Where Does Hard Water come from?

Naturally softn rain water flows underground and picks up the minerals calcium and magnesium.

These are the minerals that make water hard

Where the water hardness exceeds 200ppm the new Building Regulations require you to fit a sclae prevention device such as a water softener, to prevent the waste of energy and premature scaling up of the boiler
