Hard water contains a high quantity of dissolved minerals, but mainly calcium and magnesium. Rainwater is naturally soft, when it makes its way through the ground, into our home waterways, the water has picked up minerals such as lime, chalk, but mainly calcium & magnesium from rocks, underground sand through which it passes, creating hardened water.

Hardened water affects around 13 million households across the UK. Hardened water causes residue and limescale build up in appliances and pipes, making heating systems less efficient – just 6mm of limescale can reduce efficiency of a heating system by up to 38%.

A Water Softener is an appliance that uses an ion exchange process to remove hard minerals from the water. A simple investment that can reduce your home and business costs, whilst helping to protect the planet for future generations.
