If you live in the UK in a hard water area then you’ll know all about what a real nuisance limescale is, both in terms of extra cleaning work, it’s ugly on surfaces and destructive (read ‘expensive’) for your equipment and fittings.
For years the only well-recognised solution to this problem has been salt softeners, but that’s all changing.
Increasingly people are questioning the impact of having a salt softener in their home, both on their pockets and time, and on the environment. Lots of people want to deal with the issue of limescale but fewer and fewer want to be involved in all the maintenance that’s necessary, the separate drinking water plumbing, the chemicals that salt softeners require and the space they steal, they’re looking for an effective but simpler solution.
