[damaan]

Hi,
i am interested in getting a water softener as I will be changing boiler and refitting bathrooms. Has anybody got experience and advise about them?
Many thanks in advance

Some boilers are not suitable for softened water.

I don`t, however the softner can be plumbed to bypass the boiler. Others will be along later better placed to advise you.

Stainless steel hex on vaillant so your okay, the worcesters Ali hex doesn't like them

Plus it's only the fill up & topping up, I don't let a water softener affect me installaling Bosch as the soft water is still beneficial to the plate hex etc...

Just take precautions & put signs on the boilers fill key etc about the procedure!
