What do Water Softeners do?

Water softeners are home appliances that remove hard water from your home.

Hard water is the accumulation of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals in your home's water distribution system that can damage your pipes, fixtures and appliances. The minerals create deposits that can clog appliances such as dishwashers, faucets, hot water tanks, etc.

Resin beads inside the Water Softener units trap the calcium and magnesium and exchange them for sodium or potassium, providing improved water taste, smell, and look as well as ensuring your appliances are running smoothly.

2. Protect Fixtures & Appliances: Upgrading your water system by installing a water softener you are protecting all the pipes, fixtures and appliances including your hot water heater from the possible damage that hard water can inflict.
