Advantages: removes/prevents lime scale

Disadvantages: bit pricey

We've just moved to a really hard water area, there is a inbuilt washing machine that has been there for a bout 5 years that took so long to run through a cycle I was considering getting a new one.

On the advice of my mother in law I started adding water softener to the machine (I never really believed it was worth the extra money before) and every week after that the drain kept getting blocked up. They were getting blocked up with year's worth of lime scale being removed from the inside of the machine and the pipes.

This has not only prevented the build up of lime scale in my machine but has removed years of build up and stopped me having to get a new machine. In total spending a few pounds have saved me loads more!

I would more then recommend it to anyone, I've started to use less now that the build up has stopped coming off, but it still goes in every other wash.

I have seen no effect on my clothes from using theses and they left no residue on my hands.

Cost about £4.50 for 15 tablets

Summary: must buy if you live in hard water areas
