Water softners: Electronic vs. Salt...

Mike Deblis · 2005-06-07T13:45:40+00:00

Hi,We live near Tonbridge in Kent, which is a hard water area. We are putting in UFH, and the supplier is recommending a softener - they are suggesting either a "Salamander Electrolytic Scale Inhibitor" (approx 170 quid), or a "Genus SD500 metered high-flow water softener" (approx. 490 quid).Are these reasonable options? Is there any evidence at all that these "electronic" scale inhibitors work at all? If they do, it'd be very convenient, as the SD500 requires filling with salt every 4 months...Thoughts? Experiences?many thanksMike

You should publish a book. JK Rowling has made a lot of money from writing fantasy stories.

Contrary to popular belief, milk is not actually that good as a source of calcium, since you need magnesium as a cofactor the be able to absorb the calcium, and there is not much of that in milk
