NO HARD SCALE, NO SOFT SCALE, IN FACT NO SCALE AT ALL
NIL SOAP SCUM PLUS LOTS OF LATHER
AND SOFTENED WATER DESCALES
100% EFFECTIVE, 100% GUARANTEED

HARD WATER:
Typical modern hot water tank and a 10 year old heating pipe. Both
are heavily scaled.
The heating coil
shown on the right is now a solid
column of heat wasting scale and just 1.6mm (1/16”) of scale build-up in heating systems will cause a 12% loss in heating efficiency. |

SOFTENED WATER:
Look carefully at the first photo of the dishwasher heating element. This dishwasher has been running on softened water for
all it's 16 years of working life and is still scale free with an Ensign
water softener. Does your dishwasher look this scale free and efficient?
In the second photo, after 13 years of softened water, this heating tank is still scale free.
It is running with as new efficiency and has the original heating element
still working in it. We've left the harmless blue-green staining that you get with all copper piping intact to show the integrity of this photo. |

FACT:
Softened water descales. It will dissolve existing scale back into the water without breaking away in lumps. Speed of descaling is proportional to water temperature. From our experience I can tell you that a kettle @100ēC will clear in about 14 days, whereas 12 years of scale
in a hot water immersion tank @ 60ēC can take up to 6 months to dissolve. After this has happened they will stay scale free permanently.
It's a fact that scale quickly gets forgotten as a thing of the past. What people tend to remember is the
dramatic enhancement your new Ensign water softener has on the soaps, washing
powders and shampoo etc.
FACT:
Soaps and detergents dissolve efficiently in softened water meaning that only
1/8th of the usual amount achieves the same results as before. In reality most people get used to using about 1/4 of what they did before
fitting an Ensign water softener and enjoy the extra lather.
Ask anyone who's used their regular amount of soap or detergent when visiting a soft water part of the UK if they've noticed
the enhanced suds!

 You wouldn't drive a car without a fuel gauge would you? Then why own a water softener without a salt monitor... (more) |
