If you have recently bought or are thinking of buying a new home, there is no better way to protect your home from the damaging effects of hard water than installing a water softener.
One of the great feelings about moving into a new build house is how fresh and new everything looks! Ok, somebody might have been a bit clumsy when moving the sofa and there’s a mark on the wall that needs to be removed – but this can be done nice and quickly with a lick of paint. Imagine if every day, somebody made a new mark on the wall that needed tidying up, it would be quite infuriating, right?
Hard water will also leave it’s mark every day. Limescale will begin to build up inside your new water heating system reducing it’s efficiency which will mean more energy used to heat your water and therefore higher energy bills. Your smart home appliances will also come under attack from the minerals found within hard water and although they are new now, they will need replacing sooner than if you had a water softener installed.
That beautiful bathroom and kitchen will need to be scrubbed to remove limescale and scum marks, and you will need to use more cleaning products – costing you more money, increasing the amount of chemicals you need to use and the plastic waste that your household creates. Again, in a few years you may need to replace your expensive shower earlier than you planned.
As well as protection for your new home, a water softener will deliver luxurious soft water that you will instantly notice on your hair and skin. Soft water creates a greater lather with soap than hard water does, this again means you need to use less products, reducing waste and expenditure.
So, if you want that feeling of a new home to last longer than when the boxes are all unpacked, think about installing a water softener – you will thank yourselves for years to come.
