Hi all, might be a random question but out of curiosity has anyone had or has any experience with water softening systems? The thought crosses my mind from time to time about it so if you have any thoughts or experiences I would be very interested to hear.
Thank you in advance :-)

Some years ago in U.K. we researched water softeners as we lived in a very hard water area.
My conclusion was that the cheaper ones took up a lot of space, weren’t that efficient and required inconvenient scrabbling around in dark corners with bags of salt and general messing about.
There are available, more expensively of course, much more sophisticated products but that is what we had decided was the better option. they are more compact, electronically controlled, only require reshaped blocks of salt to recharge them, regenerate automatically and all in all are just much better.
Unbiased opinion from me is that if you can afford one, they are essential for dealing with hard water, preventing all kinds of future problems.

Hi there, thank you and I totally agree...cheap is not the way...I am looking at water filters as opposed to salt and I am going to be speaking with a woman in Pinoso who had a system installed to get her feedback.

Water filters will remove many of the particles of grit etc but will not do anything for the limescale which is death to many plumbing fittings here.
