Soft Water Area; Filling Heating Systems

[stevetheplumb]

Hi, Coming from the South East and a hard water area and now working in Cornwall, where the water is mainly soft, filling heating systems with soft water is a bad idea, no? how do I overcome this problem? Lots of inhibitor?

Worked in Devon and Cornwall for the last 20yrs, use MI recommended dosages and top up every year. Not had a problem yet.

I think you are confusing yourself unnecessarily,what you are thinking of is when a manufacturer states not to use artificially softened water,water from the main in a soft water area is fine .

soft mains water just means you use less soap and shampoo

Not another refugee from London ! Moving to the glorious South West ! Will be able to take up wild pasty hunting, Just remember everything in Cornwall is done at a slower pace & you must learn to hate the English, Don't go to any strange meetings on the moors , Have you seen the film The Wicker Man ??
