Limescale prevention

[Rob Foster]

Might be worth adding that people on low sodium diets (e.g. those with heart conditions) and children are not advised to drink softened water, and it shouldn't be used to make up infant formula. This is why you always have an unsoftened tap for drinking water.

They're brilliant bits of kit though, I wouldn't be without one. Enjoy never having to clean your taps again!

You are quite correct, the legal position is that all properties should have a 'wholesome supply ' of water this in effect means one tap/take off in every dwelling must be direct from the utility , not stored water nor
adulterated water. Softened or treated water might be considered to be adulterated . Its a throw back to victorian times when clean water was at a premium and cholera etc was prevalent , even modern filters such as under sink things are only as good as the filter and when it was last changed, I would not give them house room. Utility water costs about £2.40 per metric ton delivered and is great value, bottled water costs as much as £2000 per metric ton and needs picking up like in poor countries Rob Foster aka centralheatking

Like everyone has mentioned before a water softener will help with limescale. Also another product thats been on the market, called Aqua bion. It looks similar to an inline scale inhibitor that goes straight onto 15/22mm. Hope that helps
