When water passes through the softener, the minerals which cause limescale and scale build-up in your home and appliances are removed in a process called ion exchange.

Millions of people drink softened water, the decision to do so is normally down to taste. Softened water complies with Drinking Water Regulations if it doesn’t exceed 200 mg/l, which it won’t unless you’re in an extremely hard area (hardness levels above 400 ppm).

You may choose to upgrade your bypass tap to a water filter tap. This works like water filter jugs by filtering out any impurities from your water, giving you even more pure, better-tasting drinking water.
