Buying a water softener is somewhat like buying car. It uses salt like a car uses fuel. It needs a service like a car needs service.Make sure you choose a good quality water softener with low running costs as well as a good price.Warranties should be in writing and checked to ensure they are free and genuine.

The average price for a water softener in Ireland is approximately €900 including installation.You will come across a handful of water softeners in Ireland for more than that, and a handful for less than that. The market is broken into three sections.High End Premium Water Softeners(eg Ecowater)
Mid Range Water Softeners (Clack,Autotrol)
Low End Water Softeners (often cheap copies)

Make sure you do not buy a copy of a genuine system and end up paying the same as you would for a genuine system.Ask the questions:Where is it the valve made?
Is it a copy of another valve?
How much salt does it use per month?
How much water does it use per regeneration?
Is warranty free or subject to annual service fee?
Make sure you get what you are paying for.

The first range, the high end premium brands like Ecowater,where the complete water softener is manufactured, assembled, tested and packaged,by the manufacturer and arrives to you in a boxlike your washing machine, with the warranty from the manufacturer. Digital, smart technology, low running costs using a bag of salt on average every 6-8 weeks, costing approximately €48 per year to run and with a manufacturers’ warranty of up to 15 years on parts and labour. The warranty is free and not subject to annual service fee. These are the best value water softeners on the market.The second and third range in the water softener market today are assembled water softeners where various parts are purchased from various manufacturers and put together by a local company in Ireland. This means that they have not been manufactured or tested by one single manufacturer. It is so important to look at thequality of each part of a system like this to ensure you have quality parts and a quality finished water softenerThere is a difference between the mid- range and low end range of water softeners even though they are both assembled. The manufacturers of the various parts are normally of higher quality in the mid-range of water softeners with the finished product being of an excellent standard. These water softeners are available in timed or metered, have reasonable running costs using a bag of salt every 4-6 weeks costing approximately €96 per year to run with a warranty of 5 years. The warranty is free and not subject to an annual service fee. Brands like Clack and Autotrol are good reliable brand names in this range.The low end range of water softeners use various valves generally cheaper copies of old valves and normally electro mechanical and not digital. They tend to use lower grade cheaper copy parts for the rest of the water softener also. Some use thin plastic, and tanks that can leak and burst. They are then assembled by a local company in Ireland. Cutting back on quality means cheaper prices but it does not mean the best value for money if running costs are higher using a bag of salt every 2-4 weeks and if warranty is subject to an annual service fee makes the system the most expensive water softener to run. They can be the same price as a genuine good quality system so be sure you get what you pay for. Check all information before you buy. Make sure you get value for money.All of this information is based on testing of systems and market research completed by The Water Treatment Centre.
In summary, the price you pay for the water softener is only part of the price. The running costs of the water softener are the second part of the price.Quality water softeners cost a little more to buy but a lot less to run meaning they are actually the cheapest option as well as giving great performance. That is value for money.

Limescale is simply a build-up of calcium and when it comes in contact with heat, it will form a white crusted layer of scale and continue to build up every time you use water. The most visible sign of limescale is in the kettle. This is also building up in washing machines, dishwashers, electric showers, hot water cylinders boilers and pipe work. Eventually the appliances will stop working and the pipe work will cause problems. Limescale also creates lots of extra cleaning as it leaves white stains on taps, sinks shower doors. Clothes, hair and skin are also left dry and hard and many people complain of skin conditions.

The cost of limescale damage is what drives many people to purchase water softeners, as they get fed up of paying out for new washing machines, showers, kettles, hot water cylinders etc. The costs are a lot more than most people realise. Washing machines and showers are only some of the costs. The hidden costs are the extra electricity or gas used to heat your water as it needs to transfer the heat through the limescale to heat the water.The extra detergents, shampoos and shower gels needed to get a lather as hard water does not dissolve the product and just leaves a soap scum. Check the back of your washing powder, it will tell you to use more in a hard water area.

The water flows through the water softener where the lime is collected and the water flows out clean and soft, free from 100% of lime. This means you have clean soft water running throughout your home every day. The water softener will eventually become full of lime and will need to clean itself out . It does this with a mixture of food grade salt and water called a brine solution. It does this automatically using the valve on the water softener so you do not need to do anything. It normally cleans itself at 2 in the morning when everyone is asleep and this will happen several times a week depending on the water you use and how much lime is in the water and also the make and model of system you choose.The salt comes in 25kg bags, tablet form is best.
