Old culligans

Do you have an old Culligan water softener?

image.jpg

This customer did. It was full of nasty coloured water and really worn our. Culligan as a company do not exist any more and you would certainly not be able to get parts for this model.

We replaced it with new pipe work and one of our UK made single cylinder softener that offer great performance and an affordable price.

Coffee we love it

it's well known that in Dorset the water is too hard to make great coffee without a softener or filters.

If you want to buy the best coffee visit his website.

Electric Showers

electric showers and hard water are a bad combination.

take a leaf from our customers book and have a water softener fitted so that your water softener does not scale up and your shower screen stays nice and clean.

Re-Install

just had to be done

image.jpg

had a call from a great lady saying that she had a softener and could we have a look. Great softener but. The but is the 'installer' had covered her stopcock and all of her other isolators. Added to that he had used very long hoses that filled her cupboard. Remember to make sure your water softener company use qualified plumbers.

The new job looks like this, everything excess able and a Push Button Stop Cock ( surestop)  

Happy customer now she has one place to come for service and salt.

Worn out and badly maintained

 

image.jpg

Just been out to look at an old Euro water softener. No soft water and the motor was solid. The customer had paid for a new servo on the last service but broken again. On closer inspection the resin was worn out and had turned in to jelly.  The previous engineers solution was to open the bypass giving the cutomer hard water anyway. Marked sinks and dirty showers soon followed.

Our solution. Replace the unit with a quality English made block salt water softener. No electricity and easy to load with salt.

happy softener happy customer.

Free Me. Free me now.

Its all in a days work

Its all in a days work

You can buy most things but not time. With a water softener there is less cleaning and its is so much easier.

Use your time wisely. Coffee and cakes, golf, shopping anything is better than cleaning.

I did look for an image of a cleaning man but they are somewhat in appropriate for a family audience.

How often does your need cleaning?

According to my customers every other week

Shower heads

Shower heads

According to my customers every other week. Its because they block up with calcium slowing the water to a trickle and spraying out in all directions. I have heard customers taking them apart, cleaning them with vinegar and generally getting frustrated. 

In our home with soft water we have never needed to perform this boring task. We have saved money but more importantly time.

Great Cuppa

the great british cuppa

the great british cuppa

So many things go into making a great cup of tea. Temperature, timing, tea quality and lets not forget the water.

Tea connoisseurs agree that water quality is as critical as tea quality. Hard water can create a film that floats in the cup or pot due to flavanoids in tea reacting with Calcium Hydroxide in hard water. Several experts believe that hard water is simply unsuitable for tea. For example, ice tea made with hard water will turn cloudy upon cooling.

Soft water makes stronger better tea with none of the floaties plus it will keep your teapot and cups clean. Great News.

Do not forget the biscuits.
