Benefits of Using a Water Softener

It’s inexpensive to operate a water softener. It uses less than $3 in electricity annually.²

A water softener only has to have about 2.5 pounds of salt. That’s 80 percent less salt than dial-style softeners.

Soft water can make cleaning take less time, help your appliances run longer and help you avoid plumbing clogs.

Clog-Free Plumbing and Fixtures

Soft water helps water flow freely in plumbing. Hard water causes mineral coatings to accumulate in your pipes and fixtures. This can create clogs and lower water pressure.

Showerheads in homes with hard water can lose 75 percent of their flow rate in fewer than 18 months. Soft water preserves the shine and full flow for faucets and showerheads, nearly as well as the day they were added.

Soft water is lacks minerals. It doesn’t cause deposits in pipes or restrict water flow in fixtures.

Longer-Lasting Appliances

Over time, hard water can cause minerals to build up in your washing machine and dishwasher.

The mineral deposits in hard water make limescale when they get hot. This can coat the heating elements in your appliances, reducing life span and efficiency.

As a result, your appliances may need repeated repairs or need to be exchanged ahead of time.

Efficient Water Heaters

Soft water protects the efficiency of water heaters.

Gas storage and tankless water heaters using soft water hold on to the factory efficiency rating over a 15-year period. In comparison, using hard water for a gas water heater can lower efficiency by up to 48 percent.

If you own an electric water heater, up to 30 pounds of rock-like scale can accumulate in the tank from hard water. The scale is a bad heat conductor. It can decrease the life of your heating element, because it has to work harder to heat water.

Soft Skin, Brighter Laundry and Cleaner Dishes

Hard water minerals collect on your skin and in your hair, making it look dull. It can also lead to painful razor burn.

Soft water is more efficient at cleaning soap residue, so you’ll have softer skin and sleeker hair. Plus, your clothes will look more colorful and your dishes will have fewer spots.

Less Soap and Cleaning Time

When you have hard water, you have to use extra soap for a good lather. The minerals in hard water react with soap. This makes a scum on tubs.

With soft water, you won’t need to spend as much time cleaning to remove soap scum. You’ll also use less detergent.

What You Need to Know About Hard Water and Water Softener Systems

What is Hard Water?

Hard water has more minerals than ordinary water.

What is a Water Softener System?

It’s an appliance that eliminates excess minerals like calcium and magnesium. It also minimizes chlorine, iron and volatile organic compounds.

How Long Does a Water Softener Last?

A water softener that’s the right size for your home will last for many years. Its lifetime depends on the manufacturer and how much you run it.

How Much Does a Water Softener Cost?

Some water softeners are more efficient than others. As a result, the fee may differ.

Costs can also be different based on how hard your water is and how much water you need. If your water is extremely hard and is used heavily, softening rates will go up.

Is Softened Water Safe to Drink?

Softened water includes all the natural minerals we need. While a little bit of sodium is put in during the softening process, softened water is perfectly safe to drink.

What’s the Quality of My Drinking Water?

Water quality fluctuates by geography and processing levels. It can also be impacted by construction, mining, agriculture and mineral deposits your groundwater runs through.

You can discover if there are pollutants in your home’s drinking water.

The Environmental Working Group has a free database of more than 30 million state records of tap water tests. About 81 percent of community water sources tested in the U.S. carry chemicals associated with cancer, according to the group’s analysis.

Can Brine from Softeners Damage my Septic Tank?

A study by the Water Quality Association found a septic tank can’t be hurt by brine let out by a water softener. The tanks that were monitored were correctly placed and in good working order.

Softened water may help reduce detergents being let into your septic tank.
