Product Information

You don't think that hard, sometimes downright contaminated water that's coming from the mains is any good for you, do you? Sure, most people do not believe that since for most households that's an easy distinction to make. But it is hard to measure just how much damage hard water does to you until you make the switch to soft water and see how the number and amount of household items and toiletries you use (like soap, shampoos, conditioners, laundry detergents, and more) start shrinking. When the water's good enough, these become barely necessarily, so that you don't have to dump half a bottle of liquid soap only to make sure your hands are properly clean. In addition to that, soft, filtered water feels less heavy, making your hair soft and easy to manage. That's not to mention how much better softened water is for different skin conditions like eczema and dry skin types in general. This states the company’s position as one that tries to uphold strong environmental principles. So, they are positioned in the market as a company that provides the best equipment that’s also good for the planet. The Ultra HE’s built-in CPP (Customer Protect Programme) detects leaks, learns water usage patterns to reduce salt and water usage during regeneration, and automatically adjusts to BST and GMT time changes.Pivoting towards its operation, the machine begins with the pre-fitted bypass valve that will be maintaining optimal water pressure throughout the entire home. There's an easy manual override mechanism next to the valve that will enable you to manually start the regeneration process when necessary. Normally though, you won't have to do anything manually, thanks to the free Water2Buy easyConnect app enabling easy setup.

Does your area have hard or soft water? If you don’t know the answer to that, it’s probably the latter of the two. That’s because if you live in a hard water area, you’ll almost certainly know about it. You’ll be spending more time scrubbing limescale from your bathroom fittings, for one thing – and you may even have experienced a full-blown limescale build-up in your plumbing. Water softening systems work by running hard water through a resin, coated with sodium ions. The sodium replaces the magnesium and calcium in the water, leading to softer water. The water is then guided into your water system. The unit is easy to install and come with installation kits. And the products are WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved Once the sodium ions have been depleted, the softener will need regenerating. For this to happen, brine solution is passed through the resin tank. All the hard water ions dissolve into the water and the resin is recharged. Finally, the Self-Protect Programme (SPP) will be measuring the water used and regenerating to the specific household requirements. The intelligent chip that fuels this program will make sure there's enough soft water left to delay the regeneration until 2 AM (the default setting that you can change), which is normally a time when little if any water is being used.Production of their water treatment systems, like water softeners, takes place in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and France. European production, particularly in the likes of Germany and Switzerland is extremely high regulated and of a very high standard, generally. So the build quality of BWT water softeners are excellent. Fits in most houses kitchen cupboard

This distinctly unusual-looking device is not a water softener as such, but rather a means to prevent the build-up of limescale in your pipes and appliances. So, while it won’t give you the super-soft water that’s good for your skin and hair, it does provide a very inexpensive way to protect your washing machine, dishwasher, boiler and all associated connections from damage.

They were established in 1823, so they’ve been around effectively forever. Their sole business is the manufacture of water treatment systems; they can certainly be considered experts in this field.

Hard water is a common problem around the UK, and water that’s too hard can cost you more money long term. Hard water can lead to mineral stains on glasses, lower water pressure around your home, and a greater amount of limescale on your appliances. Installing a water softener is a relatively straightforward process, and they can usually be installed under the kitchen sink. However, many people prefer to have a professional install their water softener, as you will need to cut into the pipes. The best water softeners have a compact design that can fit in a kitchen cupboard, while larger systems will need to be installed either in the garage or basement. Extra Features A digital control unit or App control is another great extra feature. These allow you to easily monitor your water softening and can also alert you when your system is running low on salt. Water Softener FAQ How does a water softener work?
