BEIJING, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- China's major industrial firms saw stronger profit growth in the first 10 months of this year, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said Monday.
Industrial companies with annual revenue of more than 20 million yuan (about 3.03 million U.S. dollars) reported profits of 6.25 trillion yuan in the first 10 months, a 23.3-percent increase from one year earlier, the NBS said in a statement.

In the Jan.-Oct. period, combined new profit in the sectors of coal mining and washing, ferrous metal smelting and rolling, chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing, as well as oil and natural gas exploitation accounted for 51.2 percent of the total profit increase.

If you have started a renovation project on your home or you are thinking about doing one in the near future, it’s best to budget for a brand new water softener system. If not, once the project is completed you will realise that all that hard work and money you spent renovating your bathrooms and kitchen will not be as good as they could have been because of the potential for hard water damage to your new stainless steel kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Limescale can build up in your new shower and stain the bottom of your toilets.
It’s estimated that almost 70% of homes in the UK suffer from hard water, which can have an effect on your plumbing S'well Bottles 17oz Night Surf Floral UK , drinking water, washing machine, and other appliances which require the frequent use of water. By installing a brand new water softener in your home when you are doing your home renovations, you will ensure that all of your new purchases will be protected from the harmful hard water that causes these damages.
Benefits of Installing a New Water Softener
The only way to prevent limescale buildup in your home will be through either a salt-based water softener system or through an lime neutralising system like the Aquabion. The Aquabion system works by neutralising the lime so that limescale isn’t formed, which is a lot simplier than other salt based systems on the market today. Not only will this prevent limescale build up in your home, but it will also improve your skin and hair conditioning as well.
