Water from both the mains supply and private water sources can often be of poor quality. Given that daily life without access to water is almost unimaginable, it is clear that the large amount we consume every day is of vital importance to our health. It is therefore worth ensuring that it is of the highest possible quality. A domestic water treatment system can help with this.
Water treatment — benefits
The main role of a water purifier is to improve water quality. This, in turn, has an impact not only on our health, although this benefit is by far the most important of all.
What are the other advantages of water treatment? Among the most important are:
- extending the lifespan of household appliances that use water (washing machines, dishwashers),
- no limescale on the taps and shower cubicle,
- better-tasting coffee, tea and even food,
- saving money by not buying bottled water,
- care for the environment.
Maintenance-free water treatment system — automated care for your health
Once the water treatment unit has been installed and programmed, that’s essentially all there is to it. A properly programmed water softener will purify and soften water with consistent efficiency throughout its entire lifespan. In practice, this means you improve your quality of life and health without the slightest effort. You don’t even have to switch the device on or control it!
What does water treatment involve?
To improve water quality, a water softener is installed on the main cold water supply. Its function is to continuously soften the water being drawn. But what exactly does water treatment involve? It is simply the replacement of calcium and magnesium cations with sodium ions in an ion exchange bed. Feeling like you’re back in a chemistry lesson? Don’t worry — you can leave the installation of the water softener to us. We’ll find the right spot for the unit, and before we do that, we’ll select a softener tailored to your needs. All you’ll have to do is enjoy purified, soft water.
What damage can cause hard water?
Although tap water does not pose a threat to our health and is treated before it reaches us, its hardness and taste can leave a lot to be desired. Whilst we can use bottled water for drinking, we may experience the negative effects of hard water in our daily lives.
Hard water causes:
- Limescale builds up inside the boiler, which increases fuel consumption and also leads to numerous breakdowns of heating equipment,
- mineral deposits form inside the pipes, causing a drop in system pressure and corrosion,
- our clothes become stiffer and fade during the washing process,
- household appliances wear out more quickly due to limescale build-up,
- our skin and hair become dry, and hard water can be a trigger for acne.
An effective solution to all the above problems is the water treatment system, which you will find in our range. We invite you to take a look.
