Water the Soft connection

Hard water and your skin.

Hard water scale is hard on your heating bills and on your plumbing, but did you know it is equally as hard on you personally? in particular your skin.

 

Unlike soft water, hard water scale will not rinse properly from your skin, in fact it is the tiny particles of dissolved chalk deposits ( hardness)present in your water that systematically  and relentlessly lodge into the pours of your skin blocking them and drying out your skin, hard water and soap also create soap curds (scum) that also lock out the natural oils in your skin causing drying out and irritation.

 

With soft water however, there is no scale present in the water, as all of the hardness has been removed, by being converted into beautifully soft water that does not react with soap to cause sticky and hard to remove scale and scum.

 

A water softener helps in so many other ways too.

No more scale and scum stuck in clothing and bedding  (after washing them with hard water ) to irritate sensitive skin, soft water can also relieve problems associated with dry skin, eczema and psoriasis and having a water softener fitted means that you will use as little as 25% of damaging detergents that you are used to with hard water, so clothing, laundry and bedding remain free of scale and scum and are so soft you will immediately notice the difference on your skin.

Your water will really be "as soft as rainwater" as it is reverted back to its original softened state, your newly softened water will be so good for your hair too, and will help to keep it in tip top condition, your scalp will not dry out as much when you stop using hard water, and the natural shine will return once again with soft water.

No more hard water means a "softer life for you"

Fluoride Causes Premature Births, Brain Degradation, Bone Loss, Cancer and Hormone Disruption

(NaturalNews) A recent study conducted by researchers from the State University of New York (SUNY) found that fluoride ingestion may be responsible for causing premature births. Presented to the American Public Health Association at its annual meeting, these findings ratchet up yet another detrimental consequence of ingesting this toxic poison that is added to most American municipal water supplies.

Sodium fluoride, a waste byproduct of the aluminum industry, is touted by most mainstream health bureaucracies as one of the greatest public health achievements ever discovered. The American Dental Association praises the medication of the public through fluoridated municipal water supplies, claiming that it has done wonders to prevent tooth decay. A simple investigation beyond the glaringly false rhetoric, however, reveals the dirty reality behind fluoride and the incredible harm it inflicts upon those who ingest it.

Contrary to popular belief, fluoride is not a natural substance; it is the byproduct of the aluminum and nuclear industries' use of fluorine gas. The Merck Index lists fluoride's primary use as rat and cockroach poison and it is a known carcinogen. It wasn't until the 1950s that the FDA was somehow convinced that the poison allegedly helped protect teeth.

Fluoride used in Nazi death camps
The first known instances of deliberate water fluoridation were in Nazi Germany ghettos and prison camps. Sodium fluoride was added to the human inmates' water to sterilize them and to cause them to become docile, subservient subjects willing to comply with orders.

Charles Perkins, a research chemist, wrote a letter to the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research in 1954 about fluoride. In it, he stated that repeated ingestion of low doses of fluoride over a long period of time will destroy the areas of the human brain that trigger resistance to tyranny and unlawful coercion and control.

Conditions caused by fluoride ingestion
Fluoride ingestion is responsible for causing thyroid dysfunction. The National Research Council (NRC) warns that ingestion of .01 - .03 mg/kg/day of fluoride, which is easily achieved by drinking fluoridated water, can severely inhibit proper thyroid function.

Other problems caused by fluoride include dental fluorosis, a disease of the teeth, weakening of bones and bone loss, bone cancer, kidney problems, and hormone disruption.

Many communities have succeeded in removing fluoride from their water supplies through local campaigns and ballot measures. Since medical professionals and organizations are increasingly becoming opposed to fluoride use, the momentum is stronger than ever to rid the nation's water supplies of toxic fluoride.

There is no known cure for eczema

It is widely recognised in scientific and medical professions that there is currently no known cure for Eczema, so while we wait for something to turn up it is all about managing the ailment the best way we can, more or less on a trial and error basis to give as much relief as possible.

There are many online sites that offer help and advice such as:

The National Eczema Society : www.eczema.org

The National Eczema Association : www.nationaleczema.org

Talkeczema:    www.talkeczema.com

Talkeczema stands out from the rest because of how it started and the online comumity that it has built up over the past few years.

In 2000 a young mother of one litle girl and a five month old baby, also a girl unfortunitly the baby developed Atomic Eczema and Deborah her mother was faced with the agonising task of looking after her baby daughter, who was understandingly distressed much of the time and was suffering what seemed like endless misery.

TalkEczema is born.

During Deborah's struggle to come to terms with her baby daughters suffering, she researched, questioned and researched again to find ways of helping her, and about now Talk Eczema became a twinkling of an idea and Deborah soon realised that if she was in this posion there must hundreds and even thousands of other people in a similar position, so there and then she decided to see if she could set up e web site (Talk Eczema) so that she could give help and support to others and to find products and treatments for managing Eczema.

Talk Eczema soon became a firm favourite, not just in th uk but also from around the world

Wickes Water Softeners

Cheap end Water Softeners at Wickes.

As water softeners become more and more popular it is inevitable that many people will be searching for the cheapest economy unit that they can buy, after all not every one can afford the £600.00 to a  £1000.00 price tag for the higher end products, many people are (understandably) prepared to buy from such places as Wickes and B&Q and fit on a DIY basis.

Caution should be taken when buying such a product that it is compatible with your style of plumbing system standard, for intance if your house is modern and you have un vented high flow (megaflow) plumbing system, then the Wickes water softener may not allow enough water through it to work with such a system, However if you have a traditional plumbing system where you have a cold water storage tank in your roof space and a normal copper hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard a Wickes water softener may be satisfactory.

On the Wickes site it claims that their water softener is a five person sized unit, but they do not state at what degree of water hardness that it is rated at, if the water in you area is 300 part per million of calcium carbonate, this unit may well struggle for five people, if your local hardness is 350 or even 400 it would have to work very hard indeed to keep pace with the water that you use, so "buyer beware"

Wickes only offer one water softener, but do not state how much Ion Exchange resin it has in it, judging by its physical size it suggests to me that it has a 10 litre capacity meaning that it suitable for a family of four with a water hardness of 300 part per million.

So the Wickes water softener (on line) would not cope, or be suitable for a larger family or heavy water usage, so it would be necessary to look elsewhere for a suitable softener, and it would probably be best to have your water tested to determine the degree of hardness of the water in your locality before you buy.

Another point about the wickes softener is that is advertised as a six day timer model, and that's fine for an "economy" buy but is no so economical on a day to day running basis!

With a timer model the Wickes softener has to be set to "regenerate" that is to back wash, flush and take in a salt water brine solution to continue the process of softening, and this is fine if you have a steady water usage pattern and you do nort exceed its capacity, if it does it will not produce soft water until its preset time comes around again. The reverse can also happen, if you do not use up the predetermined amount of water, for example you have been away for a couple of days, the water softener will not know and will continue to operate, thereby wasting salt and water!

The control system used on the Wickes softener is a good American made product called Autotrol, so spare parts, should (you need them) are available by specialist water softener companies, but not apparently from Wickes!

Better Water Solutions are able to advise you about your water softener needs, or if you have a problem with your Wickes softener and we are able to supply spare parte when you need them.
