Hi all
Firstly I'm not a plumber or heating engineer so excuse my ignorance if this is a silly question.
I have a Potterton Gold 28 HE combi boiler. I live in a very hard water area and am thinking of getting a water softener installed in my home. I rang Potterton who said they didn't recommend this as the high salt content the softeners use will damage the boiler and reduce the life of it?
Is this true? I can't believe no one with a combi cannot have a water softener? None of the water softener companies I have spoken to have even asked what CH system I have, so they don't seem to think its a problem.
Will it damage my boiler or are there other methods I can use to treat the hard water we have?
Any thoughts or advice would be great
many thanks
