Hard Water

[traineedrip]

One of my customers has a place in france, shes just emailed me from the property saying the water is too hard, every splash leaves calcium deposits on the wall.

would this work? EMWC -Limescale Removers - System 30 Limescale Eliminator

or can you clever peeps reccomend anything else.

you would be better off with a water softener

When water is over 200ppm in the UK a scale reducer must be fitted, however from personal experience only water softners (ie calcium exchange units) are really any cop. Hartlepool up here in the North East has a water hardness of 400ppm, if you buy a combimate and fill with the siliphos crystals it will more than adequately protect the whole house water supply, provided you fit it after the stopcock, the crystals will need replacing roughly every 3-6 months depending on how hard the water is but not only will it keep the boiler working efficiently but will also cut down the likelihood of the custard getting gallstones!
