our stunning designer bathroom or kitchen will look amazing only for as long as it takes for the effects of hard water to show. The glass shower enclosure becomes dull, the showerhead clogs and stainless steel units lose their shine. All this leads to hours of extra cleaning with harsh chemicals in an effort to recapture the original look. Hard water, so called because of the quantities of dissolved minerals it contains, is ubiquitous in London and the south east and gives rise to a number of problems – from unsightly watermarks to unseen damage to domestic appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, irons and kettles. Hard water can also affect our hair and skin: when we wash, it leaves a residue that

leads to dull, lifeless and unmanageable hair and can exacerbate skin conditions such as eczema. When hard water is heated, dissolved calcium and magnesium forms scale in pipes which, in addition to narrowing and potentially clogging the pipes, prevents efficient heat transfer. A water heater with just 6mm of scale will increase the cost of water heating by 50%. A TwinTec water softener rids your hard water of unwanted minerals and unpleasant side effects. And, unlike other home improvements, the savings provided by a water softener mean that it can pay for itself within two to four years.
How is hard water softened? The TwinTec water softener removes dissolved minerals by passing the water through millions of resin beads. The minerals are attracted to the resin and are left behind when the water passes through the system, coming out completely free of ‘hardness’.
The resin is then washed clean by a ‘regeneration’ process whereby a brine solution is passed through it, flushing the hard minerals to the drain and leaving the

resin refreshed and ready to attract more hard minerals.
Why choose a TwinTec water softener? The TwinTec is a non-electrical water-operated system. The obvious difference between an
ordinary softener and the TwinTec is that our water softener has two

cylinders rather than one. This makes the regeneration process much more efficient. The TwinTec uses the flow of water to operate the control module, which manages fluctuations in water demand in the household. There is no need for an electrical supply, for a programming system or, indeed, any maintenance – other than keeping it topped up with blocks of salt. The quantity of salt you need depends on the level of your water usage. Meridian Water Softeners, 8 The Village, Charlton SE7 8UD. 020 8319 0555.
