FreshWater Limescale Reduction

The Limescale Solution FreshWater's superior FreshWater 2000 drinking water filter system effectively tackles limescale. Limescale most often presents itself in the form of a thin skin of scum on tea and coffee; however, limescale is a problem that goes beyond your tea or coffee cup; it can cause long term damage to appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines, furs up pipes and can shorten the lifespan of your home's heating system.  To completely eradicate limescale, consider investing in a water softener.

Your questions answered

Q. Why choose a FW2000 filter tap system over the FW1000 filter tap system?

A. The FW2000 filtration system has a twin stainless steel cartridge housing that contains two separate water filter cartridges, whereas the FW1000 system has one. The additional filter housing and allows for our specialist limescale filter to be installed. Our Pearl Filter which comes as standard in the FW1000 system will not reduce limescale. The Pearl filter is not designed to remove Calcium or Magnesium, which are respinsible for limescale, as these are both minerals that are beneficial to our health.
