Water Softening

• To “soften” water to all fixtures in a residence or building, hard minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and some forms of iron are removed.
• There are many benefits to having soft water. Without the hard minerals, water will cause less damage to plumbing fixtures such as water heaters and dishwashers. Soft water does not leave stains and residue on fixtures, tile, glassware etc. In addition, you will use less detergent and get cleaner clothes and dishware. Friendlier cleaning products, which contain fewer chemicals to soften the water, can also be used. With soft water, you can bathe with pure soap, which is less abrasive and friendlier to your skin.
• Water softening does not remove chemicals or other minerals in the water that you may not want to drink. Filters or reverse osmosis systems are better suited for cleaning water for drinking and/or cooking.
• Salt is used in a backwash cycle to discharge the removed minerals during the water softening process. People who cannot tolerate salt in their water would want to have a filter system for drinking water.

Why Soften Your Water?

• To reduce scaling of pipes and plumbing fixtures.
• To help soap and detergent clean better and make your clothes last longer.
• To reduce the cost of using laundry detergent, dishwashing soap, and shampoo.
• To leave less soap scum and calcium build up.
• To reduce soap scum that can clog pores and coat your skin, which can be a haven for bacteria, causing diaper rash and/or minor skin irritations.

Water Filters & Reverse Osmosis Systems

• Water filtration is usually used as point of use. Often water filters are used in the kitchen or bar areas where water is used for drinking and cooking. Water filters can be used to filter chlorine, chemicals, and minerals from water using separate water dispensers and hookups to ice makers. 
• The reverse osmosis water system (RO) is the generally preferred method of super cleaning water for drinking. Many bottled water products are made using the reverse osmosis process. A reverse osmosis water system in your kitchen is a great way of having very high quality water without having to pay for bottled water.
