Product Information

Full details

The Scalemaster SOFTLINE 150 is designed for UK homeowners seeking a simple, effective, and environmentally conscious solution to hard water problems. Its key benefit lies in its non-electric operation, eliminating Part P compliance concerns and reducing running costs. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for conventional 15mm gravity-fed plumbing systems. This compact unit utilizes the water's hydraulic pressure to automatically soften water without motors or wires, making it easy to install and maintain.
