A whole-home water softener built for Irish water. Softened, limescale-free water from every tap — easier cleaning, lower bills, appliances that last.
Most Irish homes have hard or very hard water — but the exact level varies by Eircode. Enter yours to see your county's water hardness, and we'll instantly recommend the right softener for your home.
Data sourced from Uisce Éireann and Geological Survey Ireland.
Water hardness is measured in milligrams of calcium carbonate per litre (mg/L). Anything over 200 is hard, over 300 is severe. Here's how the major Irish areas rank — based on Uisce Éireann supply data and Geological Survey Ireland records.
Most of Ireland sits in the hard or very hard bands. Even moderate-zone homes still see significant limescale buildup over time.

Check your Eircode ↑The damage doesn't show up on one bill — it's quietly spread across your boiler, your appliances, your skin, your time.
Five years of hard water vs five years with Aquasilk. Same family, same home, same usage. Watch the running totals — based on independent efficiency studies and average Irish appliance prices.
"You don't realise how much hard water has been costing you until the morning it's gone."
The Aquasilk fits where your mains enters the home — quiet, compact, almost invisible. From that single point, it pumps 100% limescale-free water to every shower, every tap, every appliance.
Engineered for Irish water hardness. Auto-regenerating. Three resin sizes so there's a perfect fit whether you live solo, with a busy family, or in a large multi-bathroom home.
The science is well-established. The Aquasilk just executes it beautifully — automatically, around the clock.
Your mains water — full of dissolved calcium and magnesium — flows into the resin tank.
Microscopic resin beads capture the hardness minerals, swapping them for harmless sodium ions.
100% limescale-free water flows to every tap, shower, appliance. Instantly.
The system rinses itself with brine and resets. You top up salt every 6–8 weeks.
Soft water rinses cleanly rather than leaving a film of soap scum on skin and hair. Many customers with sensitive skin tell us it is the change they notice first.
No more chalky streaks on glass and chrome. Surfaces stay clear for days rather than hours.
Scale insulates a heating element so it has to work harder for the same output. Take the scale away and it stops.
Eliminate descaling forever. Coffee machines, irons, washing machines all live longer.
Clean boiler elements run at factory efficiency.
Shampoo, body wash, detergent — all stretch dramatically further.
No more hard mineral build-up dulling colours or stiffening fabric.
The right size depends mainly on how many bathrooms you have and how many people share the water. Tap your home below — we'll show you the recommended Aquasilk in seconds.
Energy savings + fewer appliance replacements + less detergent + lower cleaning costs. Most households break even in 18–36 months.
After payback, the savings keep coming for the next decade.
An estimate, not a quotation. Based on a household of four in a hard-water area, current Irish energy prices, and the appliance and detergent costs listed in the comparison above. Your own saving depends on your water hardness, usage and tariff.

Photographs from our own installations around the country.
The Aquasilk range is engineered by EPS Group — a Mallow-headquartered, family-run Irish company that's been supplying water infrastructure since 1968. It is the softener much of the Irish trade resells — most companies fitting softeners here are buying the same platform from the same supplier.
Every Aquasilk softener is covered by a 10-year parts warranty when serviced annually by our team. We stand behind our products because we've engineered them to last — and a quick yearly check-in keeps everything running like new.
We went for the complete setup: a whole house water softener, the Aplos Angel Direct Flow reverse osmosis drinking water system, and a spray hose triflow tap—and the difference has been amazing. Our entire home is now limescale free, which has made such a noticeable impact. No more buildup on taps, kettles, or appliances, and even our showers feel cleaner and smoother.
The difference in the water quality is amazing — softer water throughout the house and great-tasting drinking water straight from the tap. I’m very happy with both the products and the workmanship. Highly recommend EcoFilter Ireland to anyone thinking about improving their water quality!
