Water Softeners
Welcome to my Water Softeners website.
Kinetico Water Softener
Late 2007, I decided I was sick of hard water. It furred up my kettle and other appliances, the loo's were always looking yuk and worst of all, my hair was like straw.
I decided I would get a water softener and was really surprised to find, after a bit of research, there are a lot of people searching for water softeners and salt tablets but there really isn't much to choose from on the net.
So what did I get? I looked at cheap water softeners, electric water softeners, twin tank water softener, meter controlled water softeners, you name it I look it at.
Eventually I opted for a water softener from East Midlands Water, a Twin Tank non Electric meter controlled Water Softener.
It's early days yet but so far I am very pleased with it. I can really feel the difference in my hair and the amount of shampoo I use.
Finding tablet salt for my new water softener wasn't easy and I had to have at least 6 big bags of salt tablets, a real pain to store, but more on that later.
So why did I go for a twin tank water softener?
Good question. It seemed sensible at the time. I didn't want my water softener to be unavailable whenever it refilled and although it cost a little more I think it was well worth it. It's a Meter Controlled Softener and will only perform a regeneration based upon your water consumption, making it far more efficient than most other water softeners. All EMWC Water Softeners have a 5-year guarantee - another thing to bear in mind. There are a lot of horror stories on the web about water softeners that don't last long and have no spare parts readily available.
Personally I found Direct Salt to be the cheapest for deliveries to the East Midlands Area. Most companies advertising salt tablets for water softeners annoyingly will only deliver to their own surrounding area. I wasted a lot of time with this. I have yet to see how long the 6 big bags last but from what I've read, about 9 months. Don't let the lack of website information put you of contacting Direct Salt. You'll find the phone number here salt tablets for water softeners. I'm told you can use coarse dishwasher salt in an emergency but don't take my word for that!
