Should I install a softener?


Your choice is:

1. Ion-exchange softener, which will have additional benefits, such as
preventing horrible stains on the sink/bath/toilet, feeling nicer on the
skin and using much less detergent. They cost a lot.


Can be as little as £300, which vs. £100 or so for phosphate doser is
not a huge jump.


£100? They around £45 in the sheds inc' canister.

The consumable (salt grains or tablets) for a softener are offset by
savings in detergents and shampoos.


Not much.
