Water Softeners | Hard Water
What Is A Water Softener & Do I Need One?
Water Softeners are used to treat hard water. They work by an ion exchange process, replacing the calcium and magnesium in the water with sodium. They may also remove a small amount of iron or manganese, but for high levels, it is not recommended.
Scale caused by hard water is more noticeable when the water has been heated, such as in kettles and around hot taps. Hard water will cause problems in places less obvious such as heating elements in boilers. A scale build up of just 1.6mm will reduced efficiency of a heating element by 12%.
Water Softeners will generally require a professional installation.
Ion Exchange, Ecomix, Crystal Right
There are several types of water conditioners which work by an ion exchange process, as with a water softener this requires salt for regeneration. They also remove manganese, small amounts of iron and soften the water. We regularly install and service all makes and models of Ion Exchange filters including Ecomix & Crystal Right.
