FAQ: Do I need to soften the whole house supply?

Yes, to take full advantage of all the benefits a water softener can give you you should install the system for the whole supply. If you just softened the hot water supply you would still get evaporations marks on shower doors/curtains, sink tops and other surfaces from the cold water and when you mix cold hard water with the softened hot water the hard will kill off the benefits of having a water softener.

A separate tap, preferably with a filter, can be fitted for hard water (for you garden or when you need unsoftened water for baby-feeds, when you suffer from very high hypertension or follow a tightly controlled sodium free diet)
