The benefits of soft water
You’ll be pleased to know there are many benefits to softening the water in your home. Hard water is harsh and aggressive, ruining everything it comes into contact with, including you!
1. Protect & prolong appliances
Soft water will extend the life expectancy of all your hot water appliances – your dishwasher, washing machine and even your kettle and coffee machine. And you won’t have the hassle or expense of descaling tablets anymore.
2. Plumbing system
Hard water furs up pipes and can cause permanent, irreversible damage to your boiler. Just 1.6mm of scale = 12% efficiency loss (British Water). Soft water eliminates this worry and makes your heating system more efficient. That’s better for your pocket and the planet.
3. Sparkling taps
Soft water keeps kitchen and bathroom taps looking shinier and showroom new for longer. No unsightly limescale crusting up the spout and dripping onto handles.
4. Better showers
No more dancing around under a few drops in the shower. With soft water, showerheads won’t get clogged up with scale, allowing water to flow through faster for a much better showering experience.
5. Cleaner screens
We’ve all seen the effect of limescale on shower glass. That powdery white film that just never seems to budge. Soft water makes it so much easier to clean and keep clean, with minimal deposit build-up.
6. Skin saviour
Soft water can help to alleviate skin conditions such as eczema. It’s kinder to skin generally, especially dry or sensitive skin, leaving it feeling softer and smoother without the irritation that can be caused by hard water. It has the same effect on your laundry too!
7. Hair hero
The benefits of soft water on our hair have been well documented. The minerals in harsh hard water can aggravate scalp conditions and leave hair looking flat and lack lustre, whilst soft water has the opposite effect. Experience shiny, healthier looking hair.
8. A greener choice
There are huge positive knock-on effects of water softening, too huge to calculate. Imagine how many dishwashers end up on the scrap heap too soon, how many boilers need replacing and how inefficient appliances are when struggling with hard water.
9. 50% less detergent
Expect to half your use of shampoo, shower gel, washing up liquid, clothes washing detergent and cleaning products. With soft water, they lather up beautifully when only using the smallest amount.
10. £ savings
Soft water can help your home to become more efficient by up to 24%, saving on energy bills, appliance repairs and replacements. And British Water estimate a saving of around £200 a year on cleaning products for a household of 4 people.
