Imagine that you install a water filter that is too small for your house, it will create back pressure, but also restrict the flow rate after the filter.

The shower filter uses natural carbon and patented copper-zinc alloy kdf both provide the most effective means of removing chlorine in water at high temperatures and limescale with this technology, the shower filter has proven to effectively remove 97% - 99% chlorine, up to 3 times more effective than other shower filters. The filtered water has - like the skin - a slightly acidic pH value and thus does not attack the acid mantle of the skin. First of all, you get the opportunity to soften the water by means of a compact filter system that can be installed in any home (including apartments). Additionally, shower filters for hard water only treat the one item, so you don't get any benefit in other parts of the home.The removable filter is made of a fabric that retains scale particles and prevents them from falling into your cup when pouring. As well as removing all particles, tastes, and odors in your water supply, down to the size of 1 micron, it also has an inbuilt limescale inhibitor: Making it the perfect choice for hot drinks boilers, coffee, and vending machines, where limescale build-up can cause issues. Polyphosphate is not hazardous to plant-life although it is not recommended to water your plants with the filter attached. While the quality of your tap water largely influences the limescale control and reduction capabilities of these filters, the efficiency of some modelsis on par with the efficiency of traditional water softener systems. The advantage of a water softener system is that it is installed onto the water pipe that goes into your home, which is why it has an effect on all the water supplied to your home and thus reduces the limescale in both the shower and the taps.

These filters are the perfect option for those who don’t want to deal with the maintenance issues posed by water softeners.They are made of plastic as is the head unit they screw into, and although this is not a problem in itself, make sure you put a fair bit of the supplied PTFE tape round the threads first (I had to try to seal one three times before succeeding). However if you are in a very hard water area and want even better protection then consider this more powerful anti-scale filter.

But another cost to bear in mind is that about 70% to 80% of the water that goes through the reverse osmosis process is flushed away, i. If you live in an area of the UK with hard to very hard water you may wish to consider one of our OneFlow Hard water filters. Based in Devon, with distributors throughout Europe, Silverline UK Limited manufactures a wide range of water treatment systems and products. We have used this water filter for a year now and I could taste the difference in the water as soon as the filter was fitted.

Boilers, kettles, coffee machines, washing machines, dishwashers, and immersion heaters are particularly susceptible to lilmesacle fouling.

Bio-based plastics are made entirely or partially from renewable, biological sources such as crops and plants. Water which has undergone this filtration process has a softening effect which prevents scale from forming in pipework and appliances, around sinks and washbasins, and will help prolong the life and efficiency of your appliances. If however you have several bathrooms, and/or appliances which draw a high flow of water - such as a megaflow boiler - you will require the larger EcoPlus XL system. The scale prevention media is effective even in the hardest water areas has been tested independently against the international protocol for scale prevention with a 99.The only prerequisite: the fitting must have a (standardised) ½-inch threaded connection for the shower hose, which is the case with more than 95 percent of all fittings. The Doby hard water filter fits to your cold water tap so there's no need for a separate water filter tap. The permanent hardness (calcium) is retained, keeping the water balanced and with the associated health benefits of calcium intact. The important thing to note is that - contrary to a what most people think - water softeners are not water filters.
