Hello,

We’re experiencing (heavy) limescale buildup at home, particularly in the bathroom. A neighbour suggested installing a water softener. Could you advise which model/type would suit a typical family of four in [your city/area]?

Thanks in advance!


B. Contact form / email (detailed)


Hi,

I live in [your city/area] in a home with significant limescale buildup (kettle, taps, shower glass). We’re a family of four with typical water use.

Could you recommend a suitable solution (e.g., salt-based softener vs salt-free) and a model/capacity? Please include:

• Sizing rationale (flow rate/LPM or grain capacity)

• Whether a site survey/water test is needed

• Warranty & maintenance (salt usage, service interval)

• Estimated price & install lead time

Thank you!


Please don't forget to take a screenshot and send it to us!
