“So much easier than a softener.”

written by PaulSequenza on 06/08/2015

Our plumber recently installed a new heating system and all new pipework, we also got a new washer dryer so I thought it was time to get a water softener fitted, also because the plumber was so good.
He told us to go to our local merchants where we got the boiler stuff from and ask for a Scaleout instead, as it doesn't mean he would have to rip up our kitchen floor (again) and fit a hard tap to the sink, plus no new tap to the garden either.
Tell you what, we live in a well hard water area and I'm well impressed, the tea tastes just fine which was my main worry and the shower screen doesn't get the limescale and the washing machine door is not all scaly on the inside. Hopefully we'll not need get the same issue with the heating element as we did with the last machine, in fact I know we wont.

It was the same price as the water softener but I don't have to faff about filling it with salt every month, I reckon it'll save £23 a year over a softener and it doesn't take up as much space, I hid it in the top of a cupboard on a shelf.

Customer service was great too, I asked the company how to change a part in the future and got and answer straight away.
