WHOLE HOME WATER SOFTENERS

California has some of the hardest water sources in the United States. Even in places where water is considered safe to use by municipality standards, it can still cause health-related issues related to skin and hair and household problems related to cleaning and appliance lifespan and efficiency.

 

The minerals found in water, including calcium and magnesium, picked up from limestone, chalk or marble deposits, in time damage your water-using appliances and cause stains on sinks, showers and tableware. This hard water also causes corrosion in your pipes, leading to costly maintenance. Cleaning isn’t as efficient, as hard water makes it much harder to lather.

​

You may also start to feel your hair and skin drying out due to showering with this water, and your skin may even become irritated.

Find out how water softening works

 

A water softener removes calcium, magnesium, and other sediments from your water through a process called ion exchange, basically exchanging those hardness minerals dissolved in water for sodium. This process happens in the water softening’s system resin bed. The system then delivers soft water that you can safely use throughout your home.

 

As a result of this process, your laundry will be whiter and brighter, you’ll spend less time cleaning, and you will use up to 50% less detergent. From clothes to laundry, your fabrics will last longer, as soft water doesn’t imbue fabrics with residue. 

 

You will spend less on home maintenance and won’t go through the trouble of having a plumber so often in your house, as there will be less scale build-up in your pipes. Less scale build-up also leads to up to a 29% lower energy consumption of your water heater. Your appliances will not only live longer, but they will work better, and you’ll be using overall less energy. You’ll also be spending less on soap, body wash, shampoo, and detergents. 

 

Last but not least, you will protect the environment, as a home water softener also means fewer cleaning agents in your community’s groundwater and/or water system.
