More than 60% in Britain are affected by hard water*.

What do you mean by hard water?

“Hard” water refers specifically to water that is high in dissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. It is not dangerous, but can pose other health problems.

Some of the problems associated with living near hard water include: click for source!

It can reduce soap, shampoo, or detergent performance. Hard water may cause lather to decrease, which in turn will require more soap/detergent/ shampoo. This is dangerous to the environment.

Your hair may appear dull.

Skin feels dry.

Clothes take longer to rinse.

You can make your fabrics feel coarse from scum.

Scale combined with soap = scum. This adheres to tiles, basins, taps, etc. making cleaning more difficult.

Hidden costs

Heating hard water can lead to scale buildups at 1.5mm per a year. Boilers and tanks will lose their capacity, while pipes may shrink. According to statistics from government agencies, heating systems with 6mm scales can lose up to 38% of their efficiency. This has obvious implications for both the economy and the environment. It could cost more to replace a domestic boiler than PS1,000 on average.

The buildup of limescale can reduce the performance as well as the life expectancy of all domestic appliances that heat your water, including your iron and dishwasher. This can also have an effect on your home’s cost of operation.

An additional cost for detergents, fabric softeners, or limescale removal can run to more than 200 pesos per year. If you live near a hard water source, your washing machines may require more detergent and five times as many soaps.

How to reduce the harmful effects of hardwater

Use the correct detergents and soaps

Lower the temperature settings for your washing machine, dishwasher and boiler.

Use an electronic water softener to soften it.

The advantages of an electronic water descaler

Scum on kettles, sinks, and baths can be significantly reduced.

Water softening done without chemicals

No moving parts. Fit and forget.

Regular maintenance or refilling is not required.

Self-monitoring is a way to detect system failures either internally or externally.

Avoid using any cleaners that can cause more damage to the environment or are less effective with hard water.

The chemical composition of the water is not altered, so it is safe to consume.

Relatively affordable solution.

All the benefits that soften water can be attributed to it, including being gentler on skin.

You will need less detergent

Reduce heating expenses. Reduce fuel consumption as scale decreases.

Installation is straightforward, plugging into standard power outlets is easy.

Prevent the need to replace pipe-work boilers, storage containers, radiators. due to scale buildup.
