Harmful Water In Your Home - Sandy's Salt & Softeners

Hard water has negative effects on all aspects of the home

Wash basin

Everyone tries to save money, and fitting a water softener from our diverse range does just that. Continual use of hard water gradually builds up layers of limescale in pipework, which can reduce water flow to your washing machine and dishwasher.

Kitchen sink and taps

Water will always rest in the once shiny surfaces of a stainless steel sink and sit in the grooves of taps. As the hard water dries, limescale forms in these difficult to clean places, forcing over-use of advanced cleaning products to bring them back to a reasonable shine.

Shower rose and shower screen

As you step into the shower, you may see an unsightly, white-streaked shower screen and a shower rose that is blocked and has an inconsistent spray. These effects are brought on by hard water residues and limescale deposits.

Heat exchanger and hot water cylinder

It is clear to see the lasting damage that hard water can have on a heat exchanger or hot water cylinder. The limescale gradually builds up, making them work harder, reducing the lifetime of your appliances and increasing your bills.
