Benefits of Using a Water Softener

It’s economical to operate a water softener. It consumes less than $3 in electricity per year.²

A water softener only needs 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 last longer and help you avoid plumbing clogs.

Clog-Free Plumbing and Fixtures

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

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

Soft water is doesn’t have a lot of minerals. It doesn’t leave deposits in pipes or restrict water flow in fixtures.

Longer-Lasting Appliances

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

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

As a result, your appliances may need frequent repairs or need to be exchanged earlier.

Efficient Water Heaters

Soft water preserves the efficiency of water heaters.

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

If you use an electric water heater, up to 30 pounds of rock-like scale can build up in the tank from hard water. The scale is a poor heat conductor. It can reduce 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, causing it to dry out. It can also lead to painful razor burn.

Soft water is better at rinsing soap residue, so you’ll have smoother skin and sleeker hair. Plus, your clothes will look less faded 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 decent lather. The minerals in hard water react with soap. This creates a scum on sinks.

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 soft water.

What is a Water Softener System?

It’s an appliance that eliminates additional minerals like calcium and magnesium. It also reduces 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 a long time. Its age depends on the manufacturer and how much you operate it.

How Much Does a Water Softener Cost?

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

Costs can also vary based on how hard your water is and how much water you use. If your water is very hard and is used frequently, softening expenses 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 added during the softening process, softened water is completely 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 find out 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 utilities tested in the U.S. contain chemicals linked to cancer, according to the group’s investigation.

Can Brine from Softeners Damage my Septic Tank?

A study by the Water Quality Association determined a septic tank can’t be hurt by brine discharged by a water softener. The tanks that were monitored were correctly placed and working properly.

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