Crown Twin Tank Water Softener

This is a terrific water softener. I have had one in contiuous use for over 6 years and it has never given any problems. It is more reasonably priced now when I bought and there are no electric components so no chance of a breakdown. Forget the Kenetico model this is the same thing for half the money in less fancy packaging. There are a number of supppliers who can fit these but beware they do take up quite a bit of space allowing for the piping not just the softener and will take a plumber a good half day to install. Will use 2 blocks of salt every 3-4 weeks for a family of 4. You would be advised to check your drains every couple of months as they do chuck out a lot of rubbish when it self cleans This can build up in the household drainage over time if you also have plubmed in a washing machine to the same drianage so keep an eye on it.

We bought the Crown Softener a year ago, as my son has eczema. I was nearly put off by the price but looking around i found you can purchase from fountain softeners and install yourself for around half the price. They were informative and helpfull and delivered on time. Had no problems with the softener and my son's eczema has nearly dissapeared. Have bored all my friends telling them they should get one!

I had this installed this outside, in it's own little heated house. Plumber did the plumbing bit, I built the house which was good fun. The water softener has work faultlessly for 6 months, and uses very little salt. Even though it is a block softener it works fine with tablet salt. The crown uses about 1/2 the salt a colleague of mine uses in a metered single tank softener, which means this is very economical. Cannot recommend this unit enough... the only downside is the slightly higher initial outlay.

Condensation a problem at base of unit, I have spoken to supplier no insulation jackets purpose made available.
