EPS AquaSilk™ Water Softeners — Mini, Midi & Maxi
Quiet, compact and low‑salt. Use this guide to pick the right AquaSilk size for your home, understand running costs, and know what’s involved in installation.
Why soften your water?
Hard water is widespread across Ireland. Limescale builds up on taps and showers, reduces boiler efficiency, and shortens the life of appliances. A correctly sized softener stops limescale at the source, making cleaning easier and helping your system run efficiently.
Benefits you’ll notice immediately
- Softer skin & hair, with less soap and shampoo needed
- Shiny taps, showers and glass with fewer spots
- Longer‑lasting kettles, washing machines & boilers
- Lower descaling and maintenance costs

FAQ
Will a softener remove existing limescale?
It prevents new limescale from forming. Existing deposits soften with regular exposure to soft water and are easier to clean away over time.
Is softened water safe to drink?
Yes for most households. If you’re on a low‑sodium diet, ask us about options such as a separate hard‑water tap or a reverse‑osmosis (RO) drinking system.
How often do I add salt?
Usage‑dependent. Many homes top up every 4–8 weeks. We’ll confirm the interval during handover.
What size should I choose?
As a rule: Mini for smaller homes/1 bathroom, Midi for most family homes, Maxi for larger properties or frequent simultaneous showers. If in doubt, ask us.
