Water Filter Installation for Hard Water

Yes. Hertfordshire and North London sit on chalk, and the mains water is genuinely hard. That is why limescale builds up so quickly in kettles, showerheads, boilers and cylinders across Bushey, Watford and the surrounding areas.

Template Assisted Crystallisation converts dissolved hardness minerals into microscopic crystals that stay suspended in the water rather than sticking to pipes and heating surfaces. Unlike a traditional softener it uses no salt, needs no drain connection and does not add sodium to your water.

Yes. Limescale coating a heat exchanger forces the boiler to work harder and shortens its life considerably. Fitting scale protection alongside a new boiler is a modest cost that protects a significant investment, and some manufacturers view it favourably for warranty purposes.

Very little. The media typically needs replacing every few years depending on your water usage, and there is no salt to top up and no regeneration cycle. We will tell you the expected service interval for the unit we fit.

A TAC system is designed to prevent scale rather than to alter taste, so the difference is subtle. If taste and chlorine removal are your main concern, a drinking water filter at the kitchen tap is the better answer, and we can fit that too.
