Is it difficult to install?
No, installation is straightforward and can be easily incorporated into the existing mains water supply line. The unit connects inline, so it's a simple plumbing task.

What are the benefits of using a water conditioner?

Troubleshooting
Reduced water flow after installation.
Check for any blockage in the unit or piping. Ensure the unit is installed in the correct flow direction. Verify that the correct size unit has been installed to suit the flow rate.
No noticeable improvement in limescale.
Ensure the unit is correctly installed and that the correct size for the flow rate has been installed. Allow sufficient time (a few weeks) for the product to demonstrate its effectiveness. Check the hardness of your water as extreme hardness may need a different solution.
