How to avoid water spots on chrome shower?

Hi all-just recently had a chrome bar type shower, but it leaves water marks all over the bar and upright rail etc..is there anyone out there with a tip to avoid this happening other than faffing around drying it all after every shower?-thanks
 
tried using one of those shower sprays on it? i presume they are soft water or similar to avoid water spotting.
regards
 
Its the old problem of hard water areas Andy, move to Scotland and the problems solved mate :D

Seriously, when I lived the otherside of the Humber we had the same problem, I used a spray similar to what smartbear has said, not sure what was in it though as it was years ago, but I remember that it helped :D
 
Use the bathroom - problem solved!
I always use the daily shower cleaner. Spray it on after use and the next user perpetuates the cleaning process - repeat ad infinitum. Bottle of the stuff costs a £1 and lasts a from a week to a couple. Available from all good stores, terms and conditions apply.

You need to get out more mate :lol:
 
Hard water area by the sounds of it. Would recommend a in line water descaler. Basically a special pipe that gets installed to your inlet water pipe. I'm investigating myself at the moment. They can cost anything from £80 to £800 for industrial grade stuff!! Basically takes away the scal from your water using magnets or something!!! Have a look on screw fix or any plumbing website.
 
Yep, concur with above re shower sprays. I use the ASDA one.

I spray the entire wetted surfaces after use, tiles and all, keeps the whole thing free of watermarks. The water droplets just seem to run right off.
 
Just ordered a Harvey's water softening system today exactly for that purpose, taps are failing and we just had a new bathroom done so wanted to stop it from scaling up.

Also with 4 ppm my DI vessel will live longer as well 8)

Unless you are committed to your deal, try this guy - http://www.uk-water-softeners.co.uk

He was the cheapest and best customer service by far on a twintec s3 system I had off him. I installed myself as the house we just bought had the exact same one fitted, but the seller wanted too much for it. So I said take yours and I will buy a brand new one :)
 
What was the cost of installation and unit? The Harvey unit is £1630. And yes - I can cancel up to 3 months - even after installation and use.
