Hard Water and eczema

[teriastiles]

Hard water will damage your skin, which is causing skin conditions such as eczema, according to some reports. However, I would suggest you install a water softener in your home. Soft water does not cure eczema but it has been found to be much safer for the skin. Water softeners strip unwanted minerals from your home's water, making it more suitable for bathing and other household tasks including washing.

Harvey or Kinetico for me also if your budget will stretch to it, these are block salt softeners and require no electric for operation as said above the kitchen tap needs to be hard water and any outside tap for garden use, don't drink softened water ok for brushing teeth but again don't drink , second best is a tablet type softener Tapworks ad11 is a reasonable unit fitted quite a few of these both units will remove hardness, plumbing via a unvented cylinder is a good way to go use the balance cold water for the bathrooms, the cold water supply to the combination valve needs to come via the softener then all hot and colds are softened again a hard water supply is needed at the kitchen sink , a activated charcoal filter at the kitchen sink will remove bad tastes , and odours .

Hi looking for a bit of advise for anyone who has experience with the following.

Since moving house I have developed eczema, I have narrowed it down to me having hard water.

Does anyone have any experience with using a water filter to try and combat this.

I have seen just shower head sets up but not a fan.

The aquabion looks ideal for my situation.

Does anyone have any experience in this situation, if so can you offer some insight.

Thank you

Where abouts do you live, I lived in Bath which has very hard water. There are numerous medical studies about this problem. A well maintained water softener is the only real answer. In the meantime rinse your skin with cheap bottled water as it’s the sludge that blocks the pores in your skin also visit the sports centre as they will have softened water. Centralheatking
