GET RID OF LIMESCALE
Limescale is a common problem in homes. Caused by calcium and magnesium minerals in hard water, it is a residue that builds up over time causing scale damage in your home, can clog showerheads and appears on surfaces making them difficult to clean. When left untreated, the scale continues to build up in the home affecting appliances and heating systems, and any other products that have hard water running through them.
Limescale is bad for your home for a variety of reasons which can be treated by the introduction of a water softener.
The most visual impact of limescale in the home is particularly on chrome appliances and shower screens, it can also clog your shower head. If you live in a hard water area, you may notice the efficiency of your shower depreciates over time and is only improved through the use of harsh cleaning chemicals or specially designed products for showerheads. With softened water, this issue is alleviated and your shower works more effectively.
Your household appliances and pipes are also harmed by limescale as it builds up over time. Limescale causes corrosion to your heating pipes, kettle heating elements, washing machine internal workings and more. By removing the limescale, you protect your appliances from these harmful effects and they work better, live longer and therefore, cost you less money over their lifetime.
Limescale is easily reduced or even eradicated by the introduction of a water softener. It will reverse the damage of hard water by gradually removing the scale from pipes and appliances. Plumbed into your water supply system, the softener removes the mineral deposits from your water, leaving you with pure, softened water which is much kinder to your home.
PROTECT YOUR SKIN AND HAIR
Softened water is much kinder to your skin compared to hard water. Hard water can cause skin irritation and dryness.
Our customers have also told us that their skin’s moisture levels improved when they introduced soft water. Those who previously suffered from dry skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis, have told us their condition greatly improves and in some cases completely disappears.
You may have noticed the difference in the condition of your hair when you’ve travelled between hard and softened water areas.
The lack of minerals in soft water means you can stop using harsh chemicals on your hair. Softened water is much more compatible with organic products, for example. You will also find you need less of each product to get your hair feeling clean and soft, so you’ll avoid product build-up too!
You will also use 50% less soap and shampoo to produce a much better lather, finding your hair to be shinier and more manageable.
