WATER SOFTENERS - OFFERING EXCITING NEW OPPORTUNITIES
Water softeners have been around for ages but it’s only recently that they have begun to become accepted by many householders as another essential appliance to have alongside the washing machine, the dishwasher and the fridge freezer.
We’ve always suffered from hard water across a major part of the UK but we’ve stoically put up with the problems it causes in our everyday lives – which range from appliances scaling up, to scum in the kettle, blocked showerheads and washed clothing that feels harsh and scratchy. Even skin complaints, such as eczema caused or made worse by hard water.
And that’s only what you can see. Clearly the damage caused by hard water where you can’t see it is more problematical – scaling up the inside of pipe work and radiators in your heating system, damaging hot water storage tanks and the heart of the heating system – the boiler. If not addressed, hard water can have a massive effect on the energy efficiency of a heating system, damaging its components and seeing far higher heating bills than you need to pay.
Tapworks is the UK operation of the world’s leading manufacturer of domestic water softeners, and it’s currently seeing a huge interest in its ‘Ultra 9’ compact domestic water softener.
It’s the smallest ‘smart’ electronic water softener on the marketplace, and one that slips easily and unobtrusively into a standard kitchen cabinet - under the drawer – it’s no surprise that people are impressed with this powerful, small sized water softener.
The ‘Ultra 9’ is robust enough to provide enough softened water for ten people based on average usage per day. As well as its small handy size, it’s a highly water and salt efficient water softener, designed specifically for the UK marketplace offering high flow rates as standard, to cope with mains fed plumbing systems. At just under 21 inches in height it will fit easily under a drawer in a standard UK kitchen cabinet – ideal for some of the UK’s smaller, tighter kitchens or utility rooms. The ‘Ultra 9’ and its big brother, the new AD11, feature Tapworks Genius Chip® technology making them easy to operate and understand. As with all Tapworks products, installation is very straightforward.
