Sapphire Water Softeners & Filters
Water softening specialists in Kent – installation, servicing and aftercare
Sapphire Water Softeners was founded over 12 years ago by Chris Dyer to provide home-owners with a solution to the many problems associated with extremely hard water in the region, providing water softener installation and maintenances services in Kent. We specialise in improving water quality, both to stop the problems caused by limescale and to provide fresh tasting drinking water for homes and offices.
Our products are a go-to for homeowners seeking an affordable solution to hard water, which can cause all sorts of problems, including damage to appliances and plumbing, leading to costly repairs.
With a water softener, you can benefit from soft water that will help to keep your plumbing in excellent condition all year-round, with little maintenance required.
What is water softening?
A water softener uses a process called ion exchange to remove the calcium and magnesium ions that cause the water to be hard. In a water softener, ion exchange takes place within resin-filled tanks which remove the calcium and magnesium ions, thereby making it soft. Once the resin tank is full of hardness ions, the water softener will flush them down the drain using a salt solution or ‘brine’ which is passed through the resin tank when the softener cleans itself or ‘regenerates’.
The regeneration process begins after a given volume of water has passed through the water softener, or alternatively it may be governed by an electrical timer depending on the type of softener. The majority of electrical softeners have a single resin tank whereas most non-electric units tend to have two resin tanks working together.
Twin tank water softeners use their own soft water for regeneration so they protect themselves against hard water problems. This is why they have a greater life expectancy and often carry far longer manufacturer guarantees.
The benefits of water softening
Once a water softener is installed in your home the hardness minerals will be removed from your water supply which helps plumbing and appliances last longer and operates more efficiently by eliminating scale build-up. This is the white scale that you see in your kettle and on the shower screen. Other great soft water benefits include:
- Healthier, Softer skin
- Shiny, Strong hair
- Softer and cleaner looking clothes
- A smoother shaving experience
- Savings on energy bills
- Clean, shiny bathrooms and kitchens
- Protection for all water heating appliances
