How Does a Water Softener Work?
You get hard water when there is an abundance of minerals in your water. A water softener works by removing or neutralizing the excess minerals found in the water supply. It’s traditionally installed right near your water heater and treats the water coming into home before it goes anywhere else. Then it moves through your water heater, pipes and faucets, delivering smooth, treated water whenever you want it.
Hard water can interfere with your detergents, soaps, and shampoo, making them less effective. When you install a water softening system you may be surprised at how much soap you save because it works better with the treated water. You may also notice your skin and hair feel better. A water softener is an easy way to fix all the problems that hard water creates.
Here are just a few of the benefits of installing a water softener in your home.
- Better tasting water straight from the tap
- Less detergent or soap required to clean well
- Improved texture of your hair and skin
- Increased efficiency in your water using appliances
Beyond improving the function of your appliances and detergents, water treated with a water softener just tastes better. No more buying bottled water or refilling your pitcher style filter constantly. You can enjoy fresh tasting, smooth water whenever you feel like it.
