The OptionsHard Water. The Options Available to You1. Do NothingThis is always the most expensive choice - heating water through just 6mm (¼") of limescale will result in at least 37% wastage in fuel costs. Hard water limescale causes a great deal of damage to equipment such as washing machines, electric showers, steam irons, taps, dishwashers, and immersion/water heaters. Early replacement and extra maintenance costs can easily be double, compared to a soft water location. 2. Water SoftenerThe costs, dependent on size are around £650.00 to £1,500.00. Water softeners are comparatively expensive to install, requiring plumbing modifications. Maintenance and running costs also have to be taken into account, together with the expense of salt at around £75.00 per year. The water is not then suitable for drinking - a separate drinking water supply is necessary and the effluent water is environmentally unfriendly. 3. Magnets, Catalytic & Ionisation DevicesThese are only partially effective as they are not usually able to remove existing limescale, and generally not suitable for long term, whole house application. 4. Scale Manager 2The world's best electronic water descaler - treats all types of hard water in all areas in homes both large and small. Scale Manager 2 is the maintenance free solution to hard water problems; it will remove existing limescale and prevents further build-up without the need for chemicals, salts, alteration to plumbing or a separate drinking water supply.
