The many benefits of a water softener

As a homeowner in Littlehampton, West Sussex, you may have noticed a build-up of limescale on your plumbing fixtures or appliances. This can be a frustrating problem, as limescale can reduce water flow and efficiency, and cause damage over time. However, there is a simple solution that can help prevent limescale build-up and extend the life of your plumbing system; installing a water softener.


At Stembridge Limited, we specialise in providing high-quality plumbing and heating services to our customers. Our team of expert engineers can help you choose the right water softener for your home and install it quickly and efficiently. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of having a water softener installed and why it's worth the investment.


Firstly, let's look at what causes limescale build-up in the first place. Hard water contains high levels of minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which can leave behind a chalky residue when the water evaporates. Over time, this residue can accumulate on your plumbing fixtures, appliances, and even your skin and hair. This not only looks unsightly but can also cause damage and reduce efficiency. Want to know why our water is so hard in West Sussex?


Installing a water softener can help eliminate this problem. A water softener works by removing the minerals that cause hardness from the water supply, leaving you with soft water that is gentle on your plumbing system, appliances and your body. This not only prevents limescale build-up but can also extend the life of your showers, taps, washing machine, dishwasher, and other appliances that use water.


Another benefit of having a water softener is that it can improve the quality of your water. Soft water is easier to lather and rinse, which means you'll use less soap and shampoo, as well as less washing powder. This can be especially beneficial for people with sensitive skin or allergies. Additionally, soft water can improve the taste of your drinking water and reduce the amount of cleaning required in your bathrooms.


Having a water softener installed can also save you money in the long run. By preventing limescale build-up and extending the life of your appliances, you'll reduce the need for repairs and replacements. Additionally, once your new water softener is up and running, it will begin to breakdown the existing build-up of limescale that is currently within your plumbing system.


If you're thinking of having a new bathroom, this would also be a great time to have a water softener fitted to prevent the build-up of limescale in your shiny new bathroom.


In conclusion, if you're tired of dealing with limescale build-up and want to extend the life of your plumbing and appliances, installing a water softener is a smart investment. At Stembridge Limited, we can help you choose the right water softener for your home and install it quickly and efficiently.

Why is our water so hard?

In West Sussex we are very lucky to have beautiful The South Downs right on our doorstep. But unfortunately this does present a problem when it comes to our water supply. The South Downs are made up of chalk hills, so as the rain falls onto the downs it filters through the chalk picking up minerals such as calcium, which leads to us all having hard water.
