This recent Busselton water filter installation was all about preventing calcium and limescale build-up, a very common water issue in the local area. The homeowners were frustrated by the effect hard water was having around the house, particularly on shower screens and household appliances. Like many homes in the area, they were noticing that calcium deposits were building up quickly and becoming difficult to clean, while also raising concerns about the long-term impact on fixtures and equipment.
To address the problem, we recommended and installed our new Vortex Pro 3 fitted with a Dura Scale-X system. A smarter way to deal with calcium, the Dura Scale-X system is a game changer for homes dealing with scale. Rather than removing the naturally occurring calcium and magnesium from the water, it works by stopping those minerals from sticking to surfaces.
That means the clients can still keep the beneficial minerals in their water, while dramatically reducing the build-up of scale on:
- Shower screens
- Tapware
- Plumbing fixtures
- Hot water systems
- Household appliances
This also meant there was no need for a traditional water softener, helping the homeowners avoid the added cost and maintenance that often comes with softening systems.
For this property, the Vortex Pro 3 cabinet was installed neatly along the front boundary area, positioned to remain accessible while still blending in well with the home’s exterior. The finished result is clean, tidy and unobtrusive. Inside the cabinet, the system features the sleek internal layout of the Vortex Pro 3, with its triple stage set-up designed to provide high-performance whole-home filtration in a compact, professional-looking unit.
The end result is a system that not only helps protect the home from scale-related issues, but also provides the owners with greater peace of mind about the quality of the water running throughout the property.
Needless to say, they were very happy with the outcome.
