Water softener

[Cpl nobby nobbs]

Hi all,

I'm going to get a water softener fitted under our kitchen sink, we have fairly hard water and it constantly blocks the shower head.

I have just had a new 250l unvented cylinder fitted. The old Megaflow was about 1/4 full of lime scale.

If you have one, what model do you have or recommend.

Screwfix have the BTW 14l one for £550 but then they also have a 10l one listed as high flow.

We are a house of 4 adults the house has good water pressure and the unvented cylinder has the usual pressure regulator of I think 3bar.

So the showers are very nice lots of water flow, we have a very big shower head in out bathroom, so I dont want to reduce the water pressure if I can help it.

Any suggestions, can these units keep up with a fairly high flow rate for a shower.

Thanks for any information you can offer.
