Installation Layout The illustration below shows a typical water softener layout which you may find of interest. All Monarch softeners use high quality components and are designed for maximum durability and reliability  -
Your water softener will begin to descale your system from the moment it is installed.
-
Once your existing scale has been removed, new scale will not form. Baths, basins, taps, shower screens, crockery, cutlery and glasses will stay clean.
-
With no scale in your system, your washing machine, dishwasher and shower will work as never before. Boilers and hot water cylinders will last much longer.
-
Soft water feels silkier. Many sufferers of dry skin notice a marked improvement with soft water. With lower amounts of soaps, washing powders etc, being required, gone are the major causes of dryness and irritation.
-
The cost of washing powders, soaps, shampoos, cleaning agents and detergents will be reduced by up to 50% and with no scale to heat first, it truly proves that soft water saves you money.
-
Continuous lather, no scum, no ζtideΖ lines; sounds good doesnΖt it? Less cleaning time too, all thanks to a water softener from one of the U.K,s leading water softener manufacturers.
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF HARD WATER? The visible signs are scale, scum and tidemarks around baths, basins and taps etc. The mineral contained in hard water manifests as scale when heated or when water is left standing to leave evaporation stains. What you see in your kettle is an excellent guide to what is happening in other parts of your water system. ALL AROUND YOUR HOME Hard water has a detrimental effect on anything in which it comes into contact. There are numerous examples of this that can be seen every day, as well as those you donΖt see inside your system.
To name but a few, - Misted glasses, streaky plates, and spotted and stained
utensils. - Blocked showers and shower heads
- Leaking ball-valves
- Scaled up cylinders and immersions
- Dull finish to the bath, basin etc
- Tide lines around your bath and basins
- Spots and stains on the shower screen
- Low water flow out of the hot tap because the pipe is
scaled up - No lather when you wash
- Dull and dingy clothes
HARD AND SOFT WATER Hard water is water that contains dissolved chalk, lime and other minerals. Rainwater is naturally soft but, as it percolates through the ground, any chalk and limestone it passes through becomes dissolved to create hard water. Soft water (natural) is rain that falls onto rock and cannot enter the ground. Examples of this are areas such as Wales, Scotland and The Lake District etc. As a guide only 40% of the country has natural soft water, leaving the remaining 60% to suffer with hard water. SOFT WATER BENEFITS - Saves time. With no scum marks or evaporation stains to
clean away, housework is reduced. - Can save up to 50% of washing powder, soaps,
shampoos and conditioners etc. - Will protect your and increase the life of your system by
removing existing scale. - Saves money on hot water bills ϋ with no scale to heat
first. Just 1/16"of scale will cause a loss of efficiency
of 12%. - Rinses away without staining.
- Can help dry skin conditions including eczema
- Makes laundry brighter and fresher.
- Has a clean silky feeling, and makes bathing a luxury
without the need for expensive bath oils etc. THE GENTLE TOUCH OF SOFT WATER There is no clearer benefit of soft water than that shown by a dishwasher with soft water. Shiny dishes and plates, clean clear glasses and cutlery you are proud of, all come from soft water. If soft water is doing this to your dishwasher, just imagine what it is doing in the rest of your system, and do not forget, that with your dishwasher using soft water, you do not need to put anymore salt in it. This also applies if you prefer to wash by hand. Gone are dry cracked hands you get with hard water. Clean, bright clothes, gentle on your skin, every time with soft water.
Soft water gives you cleaner, brighter, fresher fabrics, simply because your washing powder can concentrate on washing your clothes, not fighting the effects of hard water every time. Remember that with soft water flowing through your washing machine and de-scaling it, it will work better and last longer!
With soft water, you can cut your soap powder by nearly half, which proves that SOFT WATER SAVES YOU MONEY. Soft Water for the Whole Family -
FOR MUM ΰSmooth complexion, bubbles in the bath, lower household bills, soft towels ΰ -
FOR DAD ΰA smooth wet shave. And with the appliances running like never before, he hasnΖt got to worry about the next repair bill. -
AND THE CHILDREN TOO ΰLovely fresh soft clothes ensure their delicate skin is being cared for, all day every day, even when they are tucked up in bed in those crisp clean sheets. HOW MUCH DOES A WATER SOFTENER COST? The cost will be less than other home improvements and should be considered an investment.
A family of 4 in an average hard water area can save over £200 a year! Compare these savings against the outlay of the softener, and you will see that it is arguably the most cost effective home improvement you can make. HOW CAN I JUSTIFY MY INVESTMENT? Most people who have a water softener would simply say that to wash and bathe in scum free water is enough. However, a water softener fulfils many functions and gives substantial savings.
The long term benefits are the increased life of appliances, protection of taps, bathroom suites, your boiler etc, not to forget the daily savings on household bills by reducing soap consumption to name just one by up to 50% WHAT ABOUT MAINTENANCE? A water softener is working automatically 24 hours a day. All the homeowner has to do is ensure that the unit is kept full of salt. IF I MOVE HOUSE CAN I TAKE IT WITH ME? The simple answer to that is yes.
Taking your water softener with you when you move is as easy as taking other appliances i.e. washing machine.
Simply disconnect the flexible hoses from the isolating valves and away you go.
In many cases a water softener has been known to assist in the sale of the house, prospective buyers will undoubtedly be impressed with scale free taps, gleaming baths and sinks etc. < |
