Is it worth putting in water softener

[Boydylannumber1]

We own a house we remt out, our tenant left house needs work new windows, ordered, new kitchen bathroom, its hard water area my dh wants to.put in a water softener, im thinking will the new tenant even buy the salt , as its expensive.id rather not put one in any one any advise.everything is costing so much money.

We have one but not sure a tenant would bothered to buy the salt. It might be worth providing the salt to save your appliances and fittings.

Thanks for the reply, yes we got a softener last year too, as its hard water here too.not sure what to.do.

I wouldn't for a tenant, unless your radiators, appliances etc are seriously affected by limescale build-up.

They are fairly expensive to run with salts, maintenance etc and a tenant who doesn't care much about it won't do it.

Stumbleinthedebris, yes i agree my dh doesn't.

I would and I would pay for the salt.

In my opinion, it's well worth it to keep taps shower basin drainer, and all the rest free of limescale scale.

I bought a Harveys one, many years ago now.& on the odd occasion I haven't put the Blocked in on time. I certainly notice it on the surfaces within a day or two.

If I rented this house out I'd keep paying for the salt, then all the tenant needs to do is put the blocks in monthly/6 weekly to both protect my asset and to make their lives much easier, seems like a bit of a no brainer all around if you asked me.

How much does a water softener cost to buy, fit and maintain?

Have you looked at aquabion as an alternative solution?
