Benefits of Using a Water Softener

It’s inexpensive to operate a water softener. It consumes less than $3 worth of electricity annually.

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 work longer and help you avoid plumbing clogs.

  • Clog-Free Plumbing and Fixtures

    Clog-Free Plumbing and Fixtures

    Soft water helps water flow more easily in plumbing. Hard water causes mineral desposits to gather in the pipes and fixtures. This can cause 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 preserves the brilliance and full flow for faucets and showerheads, virtually as well as the day they were first installed.

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

  • Longer-Lasting Appliances

    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 turn into limescale when they get hot.

    This can coat the heating elements in your appliances, lowering life span and efficiency. As a result, your appliances may need constant fixes or need to be swapped out earlier than normal.

  • Efficient Water Heaters

    Efficient Water Heaters

    Soft water preserves the efficiency of water heaters.

    Gas storage and tankless water heaters operating on soft water sustain the factory efficiency rating over a 15-year time span. For comparison, using hard water instead 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 pile up in the tank just from hard water. The scale is a poor heat conductor. It could reduce the life of your water heater’s heating element, since it has to work longer to heat water.

  • Soft Skin, Brighter Laundry and Cleaner Dishes

    Soft Skin, Brighter Laundry and Cleaner Dishes

    Hard water minerals build up on your skin and in your hair, making it become dehydrated. It can also contribute to painful razor burn.

    Soft water is more efficient at washing away soap residue, so you’ll have silkier skin and cleaner-looking hair. In addition, your clothes will look more colorful and your dishes will have fewer spots.

  • Less Soap and Cleaning Time

    Less Soap and Cleaning Time

    When you are dealing with hard water, you have to use more and more soap for a decent lather. The minerals in hard water react with soap. This creates a scum on tubs.

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