1. What types of filters does Greenly offer for hard water?

Greenly offers a range of tap water filters designed specifically to combat hard water issues. These include:

• Multi-layer filtration tap filters with activated carbon and resin
• Tap-mounted softeners that reduce calcium and magnesium ions
• Portable water softeners for taps, ideal for renters or travel

Each model is engineered to reduce limescale, improve taste, and protect appliances from hard water damage.

2. Is the tap water filter easy to install?

Yes, Greenly tap filters are designed for DIY installation. Most filters:

• Attach directly to standard faucets
• Come with multiple adapters for different tap types
• Require no tools or plumbing knowledge
  You can typically install it in under 5 minutes.

3. Can a tap water filter alone reduce water hardness?

A tap filter can reduce the effects of hard water, such as:

• Limescale buildup
• White spots on utensils
• Soap scum

However, it does not “soften” water in the traditional sense like a whole-house softener. Greenly filters use resins or minerals to reduce hardness at the point of use, improving water quality for cooking, washing, and drinking.

4. How often should I replace the filter for a hard-water tap system?

Filter lifespan depends on water quality and usage, but typically:

• Every 3 to 6 months for average households
• An indicator or transparent housing may show when the filter is dirty
  Greenly recommends checking monthly if your water has very high hardness levels.

5. What maintenance is required for a tap water filter in a hard-water area?

To keep your filter performing well:

• Replace cartridges regularly
• Clean the aerator or outlet weekly to remove limescale
• Flush the filter system once every few weeks with mild vinegar if permitted

Greenly filters come with maintenance guidelines, and replacement filters are easily available online.

6. What’s the difference between a tap water softener and a filter?

A tap water softener typically uses ion-exchange resins to remove calcium and magnesium, while a tap filter can:

• Remove sediments
• Improve taste
• Target chlorine, rust, or scale

Greenly products combine both filtration and hardness reduction, offering multi-stage purification in a compact design.

7. Is a portable water softener suitable for renters or travelers?

Absolutely. Greenly’s portable tap water softeners are:

• Compact and easy to install/remove
• Ideal for temporary housing, rental kitchens, or even RV travel
• Can be reused across multiple taps

They provide a great solution without permanent plumbing changes.

8. How does hard water affect skin and hair, and can a tap filter help?

Hard water can lead to:

• Dry, itchy skin
• Frizzy or brittle hair
• Poor soap lathering

A Greenly tap filter can improve this by removing excess minerals, making water gentler on your skin and hair.
