Towels, clothing and bedding
Softened water will remove mineral deposits coating material fibers and, much like hair, make them soft and smooth. This will make clothing, towels and bedding softer and fluffier and reduce the need for hard detergents. All this will result in increased lifespans for clothing and bedding.
Improved appliance life
Water Quality Association and other studies have shown that appliances work more efficiently and live longer with softened water. In fact, they could live up to 30% longer. Hard water deposits on heating surfaces, clogs pipes and ceases valves and other moving parts. This puts extra load on the appliances’ components, making them work harder, and in turn means they fail more quickly. This means additional repair bills and a reduced appliance life. If your washing machine, dishwasher and kettle could live 30% longer surely thats good for your pocket and the environment.
The return on
your investment
In the current financial climate we’d all like to know that we’re not only getting the best value for money at the point of purchase, but that the purchases we make are actually earning their keep & paying for themselves through providing savings on money, time and effort.
Reduced Energy Bills Lime scale deposits on heating surfaces in washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters and even kettles reduces their efficiency significantly. Studies have show domestic hot water systems can suffer 25% drop in efficiency due to the build up of lime scale on heating elements and pipework.
Using softened water will gently remove the deposited scale, prevent further scaling and help restore the efficiency of the system. The DECC estimates the average domestic energy bill for a family in the UK to be around £1,260 per annum. According to the Energy Saving Trust more than half of this goes on heating and hot water. Savings will depend on your size of house, energy usage and state of water heating systems. However, if you could make even a 15% improvement on the efficiency of your hot water system it could potentially save money.
