So. I'm fed up with scale everywhere. I'm thinking water softener.

I don't want to faff about filling it with salt every 5 minutes.

Where "5 minutes" equals "every 2 weeks".

It's there an idiots guide somewhere which explains the different systems?

Oh, it's really simple. The only systems which work are the salt-based
ion exchange ones. All the others are snake-oil woo.

You'll need to connect the WC to the unsoftened supply or you'll be
recharging it unnecessarily frequently.

I disagree. (a) it isn't worth worrying about & (b) if you flush the loo
with softened water, you don't get scale marks on the pan.

I was going to say, that policy depends very much on whether the system
designer is, or talks to, the person who cleans the toilet.
