I have recently woken to my hallway being full of water thanks to the outlet pipe from the Monarch Midi Meter water softener in my house having broken off. So water pouring out the back ruining wooden floor. Not very impressed.
A friend mentioned that a Megaflow can only be used with a couple of makes of water softeners as the pressure is too much. I switched over to an unvented system in July this year. (Not a megaflow)
At the time I was switching over I was informed I am being supplied with water at 4bar. Flow rate in room with softener 26L/min. Dont know water pressure there.
So, is this just bad luck (unit was installed in '07) or probably due to now using mains pressure?
If i fit a flow limiter, how viable is a mains fed water system - is the performance a bit rubbish?
I guess it depends where you live, but does a water softener really help that much?
