Around 60% of homes in the UK suffer from hard water, although hard water isn’t unhealthy to drink it can cause problems in your home as it causes limescale deposits.
Poor quality water can end up leaving stains on your washing and dishes or leaving you with dull hair and skin.
The solution is to install a water conditioning magnet, that will provide a constant supply of magnetically treated water and are extremely easy to fit, and will work continuously for 20 years without any running costs or maintenance needed.
What Is Hard Water?
Hard water has a high mineral content, most usually consisting of calcium and magnesium. Hard water isn’t bad for you necessarily but can cause problems with the plumbing in your home.
It can reduce water flow and cause hard deposits of calcium, better known as scale, which can affect faucets, showerheads, dishwashers, and the heating element of water heaters.
What Are Water Conditioning Magnets
Water conditioning magnets have a very powerful neodymium magnet inside and come complete with two cable ties to easily attach it to a pipe.
Using electromagnetic coils water conditioning magnets separate certain particles such as calcium and magnesium from the water. It is only effective on water that comes within reach of the magnets.
The unit should be positioned close to a tap, washing machine, or shower to get maximum results. In smaller houses, many people find that a single water conditioning magnet positioned just after the mains stopcock is more than sufficient.
These magnets should be 200mm away from any other devices.
