Let’s take a look at what we liked, and what we didn’t like, in detail. The Good Things About The BWT Water SoftenersOnce you’ve chosen your water softener, it’s crucial to remember that proper installation and regular maintenance are critical to ensure its optimal performance and long lifespan. BWT water softener systems are not as easy to find when compared to other popular water systems for a person in the US. The pre-fitted bypass valve maintains optimal water pressure throughout the home, while the automatic self-cleaning feature performs a regeneration cycle when needed, ensuring that your water is always clean and fresh. Recharge - The salt solution from the brine tank is now pumped into the mineral tank removing the level of water hardness and flushing out the minerals.

Extra features can make the softener easy to use. Most modern softeners have a metered regeneration, so it’ll start a regeneration only when needed, based on how much water you use. Others are timer-based. These regenerate at a certain time, regardless of whether the softener actually needs regenerating. This might be due to their dedicated service technicians especially as BWT engineers are trained and hired directly by the company. It provides water for up to 6 people, based on average water usage. A lot of people with a household of 3 or 4 people still choose this model so that they’re comfortably covered with enough water. For example, as younger children grow up and become adults, it’s inevitable that water usage will increase over time. Size and capacity - Water softeners come in different sizes depending on the model you need, you should consider if you need a compact design or not to put in your cupboard. Softeners also come with varying capacities, most houses need a grain capacity between 10,000 and 20,000.House­holds with a high water hard­ness can run into costly prob­lems on a day-​to-​day basis. When hard water is heated, this causes deposits to accu­mu­late in pipes and valves. House­hold appli­ances and hot water systems suffer from a build-​​up of limescale, neces­si­tating expen­sive repairs and reducing the service life of appli­ances. In addi­tion, deposits in the heating circuit can drive up energy costs. Magnetic water softener - Magnetic water softeners clip onto your water pipe with a magnetic field to change the minerals. The initial cost of a water softener can range from a few hundred to several thousand pounds, depending on the size, features, and technology of the unit. The new scheme is designed to pass the responsibility for the water softener from the installer to BWT, releasing the installer from the need to undertake additional customer training, or to be the first port of call if there is an issue with the unit's operation, especially in the early days of ownership.
