About the Water Softener

The water softener is quite a popular fit these days, especially in parts of the country that are know as ‘hard water” areas, meaning that the water has minerals in it that sediment out when the water is subject to heat, which then coats the pipework and damages the so called white appliances like showers, and boilers etc. you would think that if it is bad for your appliances that it would also be bad for you too! Well, hard water is actually much better for you than soft water, because the minerals that do the damage to your white appliances are the same minerals that our bottled water retailers sell to us. Therefore, if you decide to fit a water softener you will need to make sure that least one of your taps can still supply drinking water. That is if you don't want to soften all the water in your home. Shoreditch Plumbers can fit this unit. With an indirect water supply system, the water coming into your house from the mains up to the cold water storage tank in the loft, with a branch to your kitchen tap, the water softener diverts this cold water through the softener treatment tank before returning it to the pipe that feeds the cold storage tank in the loft. Nearly all the in water the house water is being treated by the softener. It is possible to connect the WC cistern directly to the main before the softener, and fit a nozzle in the ballcock valve in the WC cistern as a lot of water is used when flushing. Although sometimes it might be necessary to use a descaling solution in the WC pan, the use of softened water will be considerably reduced by this action. A Shoreditch Plumber can service this appliance.

Connection:
To connect this, you should work from under the sink. Fit a one-way valve with the flow heading into the house with a small drain-cock, for the feed and a service valve to divert the water flow through the softener and another washing machine style tap (the return from the water softener). The best valves have a quarter turn action, fitted with a knob that indicates whether the valve is open or shut.
