Product Information

If your softener has run out of salt, replenish it with the correct salt and manually regenerate the Water Softener. Please allow 14 days before testing as it can this long to achieve a completely soft test result. Modern water softeners will benefit from a good clean anywhere between once a year or every five years. However, if you start noticing a funny smell, signs of hard water, or discolouration, you will need to clean the system as soon as possible. Maintain the Brine Tank

Another potential problem is salt mushing. This is when the salt forms into a mushy layer at the base of the tank, clogging the brine instead of mixing with the water. This can lead to the water overflowing if you’re not careful. Delivery is free with the exception of the area covered under the London Congestion Zone. Delivery is to the UK only (Deliveries to Northern Ireland are currently unavailable) Thankfully, standard water softeners require very little upkeep, so you won’t need to clean them too often. Whether it needs cleaning mostly depends on the condition of your water. The amount of salt that you need to top up your water softener will depend on the model of the softener you have , how much water your household uses and the hardness of the mains water in your area. If you have a bigger budget and a larger home – this water softener is a great choice.

There is a small amount of sodium in softened water due to the water softening process, to put this into perspective there is more sodium in a glass of milk than in a glass of softened water. If you live in a very hard water (e.g. East Anglia) where the water hardness is over 400ppm you should have a separate water mains tap in the house. The only times we advise against drinking softened water is when making up formula for small babies or if you are on a prescribed low sodium diet. Harsh chemicals like bleach aren’t absolutely necessary. As always, we highly recommend reading the manual first, or even consulting a professional, before you resort to sanitising the tank.
