How a water softener will save you money
How a water softener will save you money
We often take the water that comes into our homes for granted. Water is vital to our wellbeing, we use it to drink, cook, wash and heat our homes. The quality of the water coming into our homes is controlled by water authorities who ensure we all have safe, good quality water. But there are some issues they cannot fully address. Sixty percent of homes in the UK have ‘hard water’, that is water containing calcium and magenisium (limescale). You don’t see it, but every year 1.5mm of scale builds-up within the central heating systems and shower heads of households in hard water areas.
A domestic water softener eliminates limescale from your hard water supply.
No longer will you have to buy expensive scale reducing cleaning products and struggle to clean limescale from the taps and the residue left on shower cubicles and around the bath. In fact if you could put a price on your time, you wont believe how much time will be saved in cleaning, especially the bathroom (and that’s written from experience!).
As soaps lather much more easily in soft water, you can reduce your washing powder and bathing products. Also consider the savings you will make when your washing machine and central heating boiler is protected from limescale. Over time your water softener will dissolve the limescale that’s built up within your plumbing. This will improve the effiency of your heating system.
In fact a recent study conducted in the USA concluded that a water softener is one of the best energy saving appliances you can buy.
Here are some of the savings you will make:
- Up to 20% energy saving
- Up to 50% less washing powder
- Up to 50% less soaps, showers gels and shampoos
- 100% limescale banishing cleaning products
- Reduced breakdowns on appliances such as washing machines and boilers
The chlorine used to transport water to our homes safely often leaves an unpleasant smell and odour, which is why many of us buy bottled water. Don’t forget that an EcoWater filter will give you great tasting water without the expense to your pocket and the planet of buying bottled water.
