These clients have just moved into their newly built home in Dunsborough, and they wanted to protect everything in it from day one. Their priority was stopping calcium and limescale from building up in their two hot water tanks, their appliances and their glass.
Starting a new home on the right foot
Scale builds up slowly. It coats heating elements in hot water systems, shortens the life of appliances like dishwashers and washing machines, and leaves stubborn white spots on shower screens and glassware. A new home is the best time to deal with it, before any of that damage has a chance to start. With two hot water tanks to look after, this household had more reason than most to get on top of it early.

The Vortex Pro 3 with DuraScale X
We fitted a Vortex Pro 3 with our DuraScale X setup. DuraScale X is our dedicated scale-control kit: it stops calcium and limescale from sticking to surfaces without a traditional salt-based softener, brine tank or wasted water, while the Vortex Pro 3 filters all the water coming into the house. You can read more in our guide to water softening without a water softener.

Neatly placed in the front garden
The system was installed against the side fence in the front garden bed, among the cordylines and bromeliads. It’s set back from the street and easy to reach for future filter replacement.
