Product Information

A shower can be the focal point for many bathrooms and part your morning ritual - but how do you fit a shower? Whether you’re after a compact model that will fit in your tiny kitchen, a non-electric softener to help keep your energy use down or one that is relatively easy to fit yourself, here are the best water softeners to buy in 2023. Why you should trust us Water butt connecting kits are available if you want to install more than one water butt to a downpipe. Once the water comes out of the accumulator, we used a T piece to split the pipe in 2, so that it can feed both the shower and the sink. You can use either brass or plastic for these connectors – we chose to use brass, but the plastic connectors work well too. Once again the pipe is connected to these using jubilee clips. Do you want a metered water softener?: One of these will monitor your water usage and regenerate only when necessary.

To apply for the scheme, you must be on benefits and need to use a lot of water either for medical reasons or because your household has a certain number of school-age children. You also need to be on a water meter or be waiting to have one installed. If you ask for a meter, a company should install it within three months. In areas where free meters are being offered for the first time, this period may be six months. When is it a good idea to consider changing to a water meter?It may also be worth changing to a meter if your property has a high rateable value. This is because some water bills are based on the rateable value of the property. Before April 1990, every property in England and Wales was given a rateable value, based on how much the property could be let for. A good rule of thumb is that you could pay less if there are fewer people in your property than there are bedrooms.

DIY installation of water softeners is not recommended, you will need a plumber in most cases. Which type of water softener is better? The morning and evening are the best times to water your plants as the water doesn’t evaporate in the heat of the day before it can reach the roots How much can you spend?: Decide which of the units matches your budget, and look at the warranty offered. Drill a hole in the side of the water butt, 8cm down from the top. The hole needs to be just the right size to fit the connector fitting of the diverter through. Fit the connector piece in place by pushing it through the hole you just drilled and screwing the supplied washer and nut on. If you have a gravity-fed system - where your home has a hot water cylinder and cold water storage in your loft, you can use most showers. You could install a mixer shower with or without a pump, a power shower or an electric shower.If you choose to install the system in an outdoor location, you must take the necessary steps to ensure that the softener, plumbing, and wiring are protected from the elements: direct sunlight, contamination, vandalism, exposure to moisture, insects, and so on. 2. Turn Off The Main Water Supply And Electric Water Heater You have a right to be charged for your water on the basis of what you use. This means you have a right to have a meter installed free of charge, unless it's not practical or is unreasonably expensive to do this. Tenants also have the right to ask for a meter if their tenancy agreement is for six months or longer. It is also possible to install an underslung water tank on the bottom of your van which will save valuable room inside, but this might not be the best choice if you’re planning on spending time in colder snowy climates where the water could freeze.

The design of a watering can can mean that much of the water doesn’t reach the roots where it is most needed, so be careful with this Read our guide to garden screening ideas – 7 ways to keep your garden private from nosy neighbours. Fitting the diverter You will need a bypass valve that allows you to turn off the water intake in case you need to service the system or redirect the water flow without cutting off the supply to your entire house in the process. If your model does not come with a bypass valve, we suggest that you add one to your setup. To install it, push the bypass valve in the softener valve as far as possible and use the holding clips provided to snap it into place. 5. Connect Inlet/Outlet PortsAll softeners need to regenerate every so often, flushing the unwanted minerals through the system with a saltwater solution that cleans it out. This process often takes place when it’s unlikely that any water is being used in the home, such as in the early hours of the morning. If you have a traditional cottage garden and don’t want a big plastic barrel to spoil the look, then you can buy genuine oak whiskey barrels. Plastic butts in the style of terracotta pots, stone containers and wooden barrels are also available. If you have a large roof and need to store a lot of water, you can connect two or more butts up together or invest in a really large storage tank. Next, turn on nearby faucets and other outlets to drain away all the remaining water. As simple as it sounds, this precaution can prevent damage to the system, should anything go wrong during the installation. 4. Install The Bypass Valve Onto The Water Softener We chose to mount our water inlet to some ply in our boot, so we wouldn’t have to drill any more holes in the side of the van, but a lot of people do mount their fill points on the outside. Once you have attached your inlet either to some ply inside or to the outside of your van, you will need to use some convoluted hose that matches the size of your inlet and attach it using jubilee clips. We then used a water tank hose connector that matched the size of our hose to connect to the water tank.
