Water softners: Electronic vs. Salt...

Try a Scalewatcher electronic and try it for 6 months. If no joy then get your money back. I have an electronic one and it works. Depending on conditions sometime they are not that effective.

None whatsoever, unless you consider "working" in terms of making their inventors very rich by supplying a 5p bit of plastic with flashing LEDs for

Go for the metered high flow ion exchange softener. That actually does something.

You could also try casting a spell. Just as likely to be effective.

They rely on setting the price at a level that you won't bother. They know that they don't work. If only 50% send them back because the others are too embarrassed or credulous, then they'll still make a healthy profit.

Yeeeeeessss. (Paxman style).

Stop making thing up. I have one and it works.

How do you know?

Hi,

What do you want the softener to do, protect a boiler from scale or create soft water for showers and bathing? An electronic one might do the former but won't do the latter very well.

cheers, Pete.

Just protect the UFH/manifold components. I couldn't give too much of a monkeys about domestic use (though perhaps I should...)

It speaks to him. He hears voices...

Christian.

The UFH itself should not have constantly replaced water, unless there are some nasty leaks. It recirculates the same water. There is absolutely no need to protect any sealed central heating system against limescale. You should put corrosion inhibitor in though, ensuring it is compatible with your UFH solution.

Only water systems using fresh water need protection, basically your cold supply and DHW. If it doesn't come out of a tap, then don't worry.

Christian.

You are an idiot.

I looked and hey presto, it works. Duh!

None.

Mine works

If it does come out of a tap buy the one that needs the salt. Its an ion exchange based one and they do actually soften the water.

The concept of fitting one to the sealed side of a heating system makes me think you need to reconsider who is doing the job for you.

It consumes electricity, true.

I have an electronic one, but makes little difference; tried after my conventional one failed.

Can highly recommend The Genus range which the trade use, but they have no website to my knowledge. Much cheaper than local water softener coy here near Newbury.

And gets rid of scale. IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get it?
