Do you often find the sink riddled with tough stains? Or, have you been noticing scale build-up on your appliances? Depending on where you live in the UK, hard water could be the source of your problems. In particular, if you live in Kent, the chances are that you have hard water in your home. Having hard water means that the water you use for washing clothes, cooking and bathing contains high levels of the minerals magnesium and calcium. If hard water is an issue for you, getting a water filtration system installed by an expert water softener installer can be beneficial.
For homes with hard water, water softening systems can protect household appliances and plumbing system from scaling. These filtration systems can save you from the failure of appliances and fixtures which you rely on daily. However, to ensure the water softener works as intended, having it installed correctly is crucial. Not all plumbers have experience or knowledge in the right way to install a water softener and we are often called out to fix problems created by an incorrect installation. Hiring an experienced installer is therefore essential when considering the installation of water softener.
Four great reasons to have a water softener installed by an expert
You can save a significant amount of money
One of the best reasons for using a leading water softener installer is that they offer cost-effective installation services. You may not be aware but the proper installation of a water filtration system can save you money. As well as extending the lifespan of your clothes, they also increase the longevity of appliances to a great extent. Your boiler will also work more efficiently when heating soft water. In addition, cleaning products, shampoos and other detergents work more effectively with soft water meaning that you need to use far less and therefore buy less frequently.
Keeps your clothes looking great
Whilst there are detergents which are specifically designed for use with hard water, the truth is that cleaning your clothing effectively when washing with hard water is tough. Fabrics which are scrubbed with hard water tend to become stiff, dull and rough due to the high mineral content.This means that, in comparison to the ones washed with soft water, these clothes do not last long. Not a good thing these days where fast fashion is on the way out and people are looking to buy clothes which stand the test of time, especially preloved clothing. Hiring a water softener installer to fit a good quality water softener can therefore extend the life of your clothes and leave them looking their best.
Makes it easier to keep your house clean
People without water softener systems will agree that hard water leaves behind limescale and stains which are tough to eliminate. Homeowners facing this problem need to buy special cleaners made from harsh chemicals to get this residue off taps, bathtubs and other fixtures. Not only is this expensive, but also takes a lot longer to clean. When you live in a hard water area you will also notice water marks and stains on your glasses and other crockery. Once again, this looks unsightly and can take a lot of effort in order to get things sparkling. Hiring a professional water softener installer to install a water softener in your home can therefore make a huge difference in terms of the time it takes to keep things clean.
Lets your best side shine through
This is another significant reason to hire a good water softener installer. Just the way hard water gives clothes a dull appearance, it can take a toll on hair and skin too. Those who have soft water have much healthier hair and skin than the ones who have hard water. You may tend to use more of your products too since building up a soapy lather is notoriously difficult with hard water. There has been a lot of evidence to show the positive impact that using softened water has on a variety of skin conditions such as eczema. You can find out more about this here…
