Well it's got to that stage on the house build where the new bathroom
is about to be plumbed in, and I want to avoid the dreaded limescale.

Has anyone got any recommendations on a suitable water softener for a 5
bed house, with one bathroom, one en-suite, and the usual array of
water guzzling appliances.


Whatever you do make sure that you take drinking/cooking water from a
non softened tap!

Most water softeners will add a certain amount of sodium to the water
which can be harmful to health.

Umm... no.

There is more sodium in a slice of bread than several litres of
softened water.

Of course, you may wish to eat other things than bread for health
reasons, but the amount of sodium is not an issue.
