You can have any of our water softeners up and running on your plumbing within a few minutes. Depending on the type of water softener and the capabilities of your water supply, you can secure the water softener using the provided screws or a set of cable ties. After this, the water softener starts working immediately. So, you don't need a professional installer because the installation is not complicated and takes little time.

After installation, the water softener starts working right away. It prevents the buildup of limescale, and existing limescale will disappear within a few weeks.

Salt as a Water Softener

Water softeners have been around longer than you might think. As early as 1900, the technology of water softening was used to make water more drinkable. A water softener is a device that literally softens water. This means that the hardness of the water can be reduced using a substance or a device. For example, salt can be used to bind the calcium and magnesium ions present in water so that they precipitate or are converted into another substance. Most dishwashers, for instance, use salt. This dishwasher salt softens the wash water so that the dishes are cleaned, and the machine is protected from limescale. Hard water can be harmful to a dishwasher or washing machine.

Water Softener for Plumbing

You can use a water softener for pipes, among other things. The magnets in the water softener ensure that magnesium and calcium do not bind to each other but remain separated and dissolved in the water. It's important that the water softener can do its necessary work thoroughly before you see results. So, you need to be patient. Your patience will be rewarded, and your shower and faucets will shine again. Limescale will disappear faster than you think, and within two weeks, you won't see any limescale anymore. The showerhead and faucets will last considerably longer, saving you a lot of money in the long run. Additionally, your bathroom will look much better. Installing a water softener on the plumbing is wise. The higher the water hardness, the more limescale is formed, which can damage the pipes. Not only do the pipes get damaged, but it can also lead to high energy costs. A water softener is environmentally friendly and maintenance-free. With a water softener, you can save a lot of money that you can invest in other things.

Water Softener Connection Kit

Connecting a water softener is not very difficult. In 95% of cases, the water softener is connected directly behind the heat meter. The existing water pipe needs to be redirected with two new pipes so that the water softener can be connected. Flexible stainless steel hoses are needed to connect the water pipe and the water softener. The stainless steel hoses can be supplied up to two meters. Hose assembly will be easy if they are not longer than two meters. In addition, elbow couplings are also part of the connection kit. With the elbow couplings, you can connect the hoses to the copper pipe. The drain hose ensures that the water is pushed into the drain. The salt consumption and water consumption of the water softener are extremely low. Salt consumption averages around 30 kg per year, and water consumption is roughly 1.3% of the total usage. Power consumption is low, approximately 9 kWh per year when the water hardness is 10 dH, water consumption is 100m3, and the annual price ranges between €1.80 and €2.00.

Home Water Softener

When water is too hard, it can have consequences for household appliances. You've probably seen limescale in a household before. Limescale is often seen in places like the washing machine, kettle, and dishwasher. Water from a kettle with a lot of limescale is less pleasant to taste. Limescale also leads to a higher energy bill. You have to pay more, while limescale also makes the appliance look less clean. Fortunately, with a water softener, you can save a lot of money and ensure that everything at your home looks clean. There's nothing better than being able to enjoy a consistently beautiful bathroom or kitchen after cleaning. With a water softener, you can enjoy a clean home and appliances that will function well for many years. Moreover, you'll need to clean less frequently when you use a water softener. Because your bathroom or kitchen is limescale-free, you won't have to deal with limescale residues. Soft water is better for your skin and helps reduce eczema, itching, and rashes. Hard water is harsher on your skin and can negatively affect skin issues.

Benefits of a Water Softener

If you use a water softener, there are several benefits to mention. For example, you'll need less fabric softener, soap, and salt when doing laundry or cleaning. This means you'll have to buy these products less often, saving you money in the process. All of these costs together will result in spending less money in the short and long term.

Water supply companies do some water softening themselves, but there is still calcium and magnesium present in the water. The amount is not exactly the same everywhere because water supply companies draw their water from various sources.
It's important to clean the water softener regularly. Maintenance of a water descaler is necessary to extend the device's lifespan. Clean the softener, replace the filter on time, and add new salt regularly. After several years, the water softener's effectiveness will decrease, and you'll need to buy a new one. You can extend the lifespan as much as possible, but at some point, you'll need to purchase a new water softener. With a water softener, you can avoid buying bottled drinking water. With a water softener, you have access to soft water, and you won't need to buy bottled water.

Cost of a Water Softener

If you choose to purchase a water descaler for your home, you'll need to make an initial investment before you start seeing the long-term cost savings. In the long run, you'll save a lot more money in total than if you didn't choose a water descaler. There are also costs for salt for the salt reservoir to rinse the filter clean. However, these costs will not outweigh the costs of new appliances and other expenses caused by limescale.
Another factor to consider when choosing a water softener is the space required to install it. A water softener takes up some space, and you need to have this space available at your home. The water softener is installed near the water meter, where it's connected to the water supply and electricity.

Electromagnetic Water Softener

An electromagnetic water softener uses a magnetic field. Powerful magnets are used and applied around the water pipe. Electricity is used to initiate the regeneration process. The costs of an electromagnetic water softener can be quite high and start at around 900 euros. So, you need to be sure about your decision if you choose this option. Doing preliminary research by researching online and seeking advice from experts can definitely help you with your choice. There are various ways to soften water, and it's best to do thorough research and determine what suits your situation best before making a purchase. An electromagnetic water softener offers high flexibility and requires many settings.   The electromagnetic water softener functions through electricity, and you'll also incur additional operating costs. Furthermore, you'll have to deal with some maintenance costs, but fortunately, these costs are all worth it. A water softener is a more permanent solution than choosing, for example, anti-limescale products. Not all places have water with the same characteristics. Water hardness is expressed in fH value. The higher the water's value, the harder it is. A water softener is highly recommended with a value of 25 or higher. When the water is very soft, the value is between 7 and 15. An average value is between 15 and 30 fH, and between 30 and 45 fH, there is hard water. Very hard water can have an fH value of more than 45 fH.

Improve Water Quality

It's a comforting thought to know that the water in your home or office is in good condition. Water with a high calcium content can be harmful to the appliances in your home or office, leading to higher costs. Fortunately, there are various solutions to improve water hardness. You'll notice that when the water is softer, you'll experience many benefits. The water has a positive effect on your skin, and it tastes much better.

It's a great feeling to be able to enjoy the products you use daily at home for a long time and not have to spend money on new appliances when it shouldn't be necessary. By first measuring the water hardness, you can find out if you need a water descaler. Sometimes, the water is already soft, and you don't need a water descaler. However, if you notice a lot of limescale buildup, it's advisable to investigate a water softener. Who knows, the limescale may almost disappear when you use a water descaler. In addition, you can be sure that your water is completely clean and mostly free of limescale. Since you'll have lower energy costs due to less limescale, you're also contributing to the environment.
