You may have noticed on various advertisements of ours that an EWT water softener will save you money…the purpose of this blog is to show you just how!
The savings mentioned here come from a few of the areas listed below:
- Soaps and Detergents
- Limescale Cleaning Products
- Water Heating Bills
We have a "cost savings calculator" on our website where you can enter your monthly spends on each limescale-cleaning product and work out what would YOU SAVE. Before you do so, I will explain HOW a water softener will make these savings for you!
Soaps' Savings 50%: Hard water contains large amounts of dissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. These minerals react with the organic soap acid making it less effective and can form soap scum…and less lather!
Detergents' Savings 50-75%: Detergents in hard water will not leave soap scum marks like they would with a soap product as the reaction between the detergent and the minerals is water soluble. However, when there is a higher mineral content in the water (like in hard water) some of the detergent will get taken out of action, meaning when softened water is used you can reduce your usage.
No More Limescale Cleaning Products 100%: There are a lot of harsh chemical products out there designed to reverse the effects of hard water. These are mostly strong acidic products used to de-scale already scaled surfaces…however, this is a reaction to the problem and will not prevent further scaling.
Reduced Heating Bills by 20-30%: Minerals in hard water precipitate out when water is heated, that is why it is most noticeable in hot water devices such as your kettle. The same process will be happening to heat your water for showers and baths meaning even though you may not see it, there is likely to be large amounts of scale deposited inside, which can cause costly repairs and greatly reduce the efficiency when heating the water.
So now that you understand why, see how much these changes save the average households!
