Why do I need a water conditioner?

Water softeners make water softener less hard. They remove any trace of rust and soap scum from the water.

Water softeners are commonly purchased by people to reduce hard water. There may be reasons that you don't need such an appliance.

1. Softer hair and skin

Water softeners take out hardness minerals like calcium, magnesium and magnesium from your home’s plumbing. This eliminates stains on dishes and appliances as well as clogged pipes.

Water softeners use an Ion Exchange process to get rid off unwanted minerals. This involves passing water over a bed of spherical polystyrene resin beads.

2. A lot less soap

Water with hard minerals (calcium or magnesium) tends have less soap in them, as they don't allow soap particles suspend dirt and cling to it like soft water.

This prevents soap scum from building up in the water. This helps keep skin and hair moisturized and prolongs the life expectancy of appliances.

3. Building up less scale

Scale is a layer composed of calcium and magnesium bicarbonate. It builds up on plumbing fixtures, appliances, pipes, faucets, and other household objects. It is formed due to the presence in tap water of dissolved minerals like calcium or magnesium bicarbonate.

Water softeners can reduce scale and mineral buildup in the water supply by decreasing the amount dissolved minerals. This reduces damage to plumbing and pipes.

4. Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced

Water softeners use the ionization technology to trap or remove hard minerals such calcium and magnesium. This is where the problem occurs: resin beads can get saturated with impurities. The process requires a large amount of water to recharge.

Water softening also contributes to the production of greenhouse gases. These emissions can be reduced in half by installing a water conditioner.

5. Appliances have a longer lifespan

Water softeners will dramatically increase the lifespan of appliances, like washing machines or dishwashers. They can prevent minerals from building-up in the machines, increasing their lifespan and performance.

Appliances that water use are more susceptible to minerals like calcium, magnesium and other elements. This can reduce their efficiency as well as quality. These minerals could cause irreversible damage if they build up in your plumbing.

6. Laundry and dishes with cleaner ingredients

Soft water makes a difference when washing dishes or clothing. Soft water isn't as staining or leaving behind residue than hard water.

Their surfactants (long molecules with water-loving on one side and oil-loving on the other) make detergents such as dish soap and laundry detergent different.

7. Lower Water Bills

Water softener solutions eliminate calcium and magnesium and prevent limescale buildup.

Water softeners will also save you money by reducing your water bills. Hot water tank works harder and consumes more electricity, making them cost-effective.

8. You need less soap.

Soap soap scum is a dark, white substance that can accumulate on your washer's interior, including the tubs, sinks, and curtains. It is made up hard-water mineral deposits mixed with soap, dirt and oil – all of which are not appropriate for your bathroom.

Soapscum attracts both mold and mildew, leaving surfaces smelling musty and dirty. Water softeners are able to prevent the buildup of grime.
