Yes, this is stated on most detergent product packs that if you have softened water you can use substantially less detergent in your wash. The reason why you use less is because soft water lathers much better than hard water, and the wash is not compromised by the minerals in hard water.

Yes, softened water is safe to drink. However, there may be situations when people are recommended not to if their health requires that their salt intake be closely controlled. This is due to the fact other water softener products do not use a final soft water rinse cycle, which clears any remaining salt in the tank. Our water softener tanks run a secondary soft water rinse cycle to get rid of as much salt as possible. This significantly lowers the possibility of salt entering your drinking water.

For a typical family of four, the running cost of an Infinity water softener is around £12–£14 per month.

An electric water softener will cost considerably more to run due to electricity usage and less efficient salt consumption.

No, this is not correct. You can use softened water in your heating system; however, the British Standard 7595:2006 requires a corrosion inhibitor. Find out all the benefits soft water can have on your boiler and appliances here.

No, not with Infinity Water Softeners. Part of the tank self-cleaning process involves a secondary soft water rinse. This ensures the level of salt entering your drinking water is minimal if any at all. In fact, there is more salt in a glass of milk than there is in softened water. That said, some people notice a difference in taste and prefer drinking hard water. If this is you, the simple solution is to have a bypass for hard water to flow directly to a drinking tap. With this, you can add an Infinity water filter cartridge under the sink that will work like a Brita filter, freeing up space in the fridge, along with being better for the environment and also more cost-effective.
