protecting my cylinder from scale

[masky]

just installing a new gledhill 210ltr stainlesslite presurised cylinder and i want to protect it from the build up of limescale. i have a waterside mc250 water softner but dont want to loose any pressure and just soften the hot side and not the central heating side any advice would be great

I dont understand what you are asking!

You dont need more than the initial fill of say 80 litres for the CH and that should not be softened water.

and that should not be softened water.

Why not?

What if you live in a soft water area?

Because some/most manufacturers advise against the use of artificially softened water in sealed heating systems

Surely the OP just wants to have softened water at his hot taps, not fill his heating system with the stuff?

It's only a problem with aluminum rads and boiler heat exchangers, otherwise, happy days.
