What does a Water Softener Do?

Say Goodbye to Hard Water: The Benefits of a Water Softener

Does your hair feel weighed down with mineral buildup? Does your skin feel dry and itchy after stepping out of the shower? Are your dishes covered in water stains, or does it take a lot of soap to work up a good lather?

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, you might be dealing with hard water, but the good news is, there’s an easy fix: a water softener.

What Causes Hard Water?

As water moves underground, it absorbs naturally occurring minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. This happens whether your water comes from a well or city supply.

• Different areas have varying levels of mineral concentration.
• Some regions have significantly harder water than others.
• To determine how hard your water is, a professional water test is required.

How a Water Softener Works

A water softener removes the excess minerals in your water, converting hard water into soft water. Once installed, you’ll notice instant improvements in your daily routine.

• Smoother skin & silkier hair
• Cleaner, softer, and brighter clothes
• Less soap and detergent needed, saving money & reducing waste
• Fewer water stains, soap scum, and mineral buildup
• Improved water flow & less pipe corrosion
• Increased efficiency & lifespan of water-using appliances
  

Low-Maintenance, High Impact

Water softeners are easy to maintain and work quietly in the background, improving your water quality without you having to lift a finger, except to add salt periodically.

• Salt dissolves in the brine tank to create the solution that removes hard minerals.
• Using high-purity salt reduces storage tank residue & prevents salt buildup.
• Regularly cleaning the resin bed with a resin cleaner keeps your softener working efficiently.
