Soft water

Limescale is a form of stone dissolved in water. Every time you do your washing with hard water, these coarse grains wear down the fibres of your laundry. As a result, clothes and other textiles will quickly feel rough to the touch and have a shorter lifespan. Washing with limescale-free water also means that no coarse limescale residue will be left behind in your laundry. The laundry comes out softer.

Better for the skin

Soft water is also an option alleviate skin problems. Skin pores secrete natural oils, thereby forming a natural barrier for the skin. Calcium particles in tap water are small enough to become lodged in the skin’s pores. In this way, the calcium prevents the skin’s natural oils from functioning as effectively as they should. This can cause your skin to dry out and lead to problems such as chapping, itching or skin irritation.

Softened water does not have these drawbacks. You’ll also notice, from the very first time you shower with soft water, that your skin feels different and any irritation disappears. Also Shaving with wet hair feels more comfortable when soft water is used.

Soft water is not a cure for skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema. However, all our customers who suffered from these conditions noticed a difference within a few weeks of using a beautiful water water softener had purchased, significant improvements. Some even got rid of their problems completely. That’s hardly surprising, given the effect of limescale on the skin’s natural oils.

Sustainable

Hard water causes limescale to build up on the heating elements of central heating boilers, dishwashers, washing machines, kettles, etc. This limescale acts as an insulating layer on these heating elements, leading to a loss of efficiency. Your energy bill will therefore rise significantly.

As limescale-free water dissolves existing limescale deposits, the heating elements will, over time, become limescale-free again, resulting in a significant improvement in returns achieved. This saving can easily amount to around 10%. Just work out for yourself how much of a difference that makes in your situation!

In softened water, the limescale has already been removed, so the soap and other cleaning products to their full potential used for cleaning. That is why soft water leads to a significantly lower consumption of these products. And that’s not only good for your wallet but also for the environment. Because thanks to limescale-free water saves you at least 50% on soap and other cleaning products.

In short, a water softener has many advantages.
