| + | None of this is a guide to fitting a shower from scratch; it is a note on the specific parts that keep coming back across the working life of a unit already installed, and worth having in stock rather than ordering one at a time as each call comes in. | ||
| + | For a trade buyer, the practical upshot is that unvented spares are not interchangeable with vented ones. A pressure relief valve rated for an unvented system is a specific, tested part, not a generic valve that happens to fit the thread. The same goes for the expansion vessel, sized to the cylinder' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Braided and rubber flexible hoses do the same basic job, connecting a fixed pipe run to an appliance or outlet with some give in the joint, but they are built very differently underneath, and that difference shows up in how long each type lasts on a job. | ||

| + | A water softener does one job: it takes hard water, full of dissolved calcium and magnesium, and swaps those minerals out for sodium before the water reaches the taps. The mechanism behind that swap is called ion exchange, and it happens inside a tank full of small resin beads. Fresh resin beads are coated in sodium ions. As hard water passes through the tank, the calcium and magnesium in the water bond to the resin more strongly than the sodium does, so they displace it, and softened water carries on through the pipework while the hardness stays behind on the resin. | ||

| + | For anyone new to the category, the parts worth understanding are the resin tank itself, the brine tank that holds the salt, and the control valve that manages the whole cycle, timing when regeneration happens and how much water and salt it uses. Cheaper units tend to run on a fixed timer regardless of actual usage; better-specified ones meter flow and regenerate only when the resin genuinely needs it, which uses less salt and less water over a year. | ||
