    Are repairs on a recently serviced boiler free?

    I had my annual service on my boiler about three months ago! During the service the engineer noticed some limescale/corrosion and said that he would order a new part which would solve the limescale/corrosion problem, and notify me when it arrived. Needless to say I heard nothing and called the...

    Unvented cylinder with water softener

    Just in case you were still wondering.... Worcester Bosch state "You can have a water softener in combination with our boiler as it will prevent the hot water circuit from scaling up and losing efficiency. However, the central heating circuit should be filled with hard water and a chemical...

    Water Softener advice now I've moved to combi boiler

    You will need the Kinetico converting from low flow (water from your CW tank) to high flow (mains supply)! A Kinetico specialist will know exactly what you need. I did this myself (home DIYer) and converted my brother's Kinetico which used water supplied from the CW tank in the attic to enable...

    Water Softener Recommendations?

    Let us know how you got on. Always good to get feedback on these forums! The advantage of twin cylinder softeners is that they regenerate when you have used a certain volume of water and the cylinder being used needs to be regenerated using brine. The system automatically then changes over to...

    Water softener waste pipe discharge

    Regeneration water is brine so should not be a concern if it goes into a soakaway. It will be diluted with rainwater over a period of time. There should be no water from your overflow (outlet should be visible) unless there is a malfuntion with your softener. Your softener manufacturer will...

    Unvented cylinder with water softener

    There are many posts on this forum about water softeners, do a search. Remember that buying cheap is buying twice! Think about a water softener as a long term purchase, I have had them (different makes - Permutit onwards) for 50 years. A block salt (twin cylinder) softener is a big investment...

    Water softener for mains supply

    Do not waste your time with so called water conditioners, we have all been there and done that! Consider investing in a salt based water softener, as previously mentioned, the block based ones are great. Expensive at first but think of them as a long term investment and you can take them with...

    Electric magnetic descaler

    The OP asked for advice on something to ...... "soften both the hot and cold water"! Go figure!

    Electric magnetic descaler

    They are not your answer if you want to soften your water! Bite the bullet and get a salt based softener - you will not regret it and, if you buy the right one, will be a long term investment and last a life time! Do a search on this forum on Water Softeners and you will find tons of...

    Changing from spring water to mains

    There are many people who would love to be independent of mains water, provided the supply is clean and plentiful. We had a well in our garden in France which always contained about 4000 litres of water. The well was 7 metres deep and the level of the water was just 4 metres from the surface...
