    The only thing that WILL work is a "proper" water softener. For domestic use it will be an ion exchange unit.

    A softener should cost around £500 and will use salt (quantity various on the hardness of your water). There will be a huge saving on the amount of soap, detergent, cleanser, etc, etc you use - which usually covers the cost of the salt.

    There are several good threads on this site on softeners.

    PS: DO NOT buy a softener that uses block salt............

    why is this please?
