Tableware and flatware will clean up easily and be virtually spot-free.
Your hands and skin will feel softer and look better.
Minerals on glassware will disappear.
Use less soap and shampoo – when your water is conditioned correctly, you’ll get a better, richer lather.
Hello, clean shower doors! Reduce soap scum and eliminate mineral deposits on sinks and shower walls.
Your water-loving appliances will last longer and run more efficiently. Hard water can wear out water heaters, washing machines and dishwashers 30% faster.
Turn hard water into soft water that’s gentler on skin, dishes, fabrics and water-dependent appliances.
Although water softeners get rid of some heavy metals along with hardness, water filtration systems are the best way to remove impurities.
For instance, conditioned water not only delivers greater washing power, it reduces the amount of soap you need to use by up to 70%. In fact, the Bureau of Statistics found that between 17 and 20.8 cents of every dollar are spent on cleaning products. Soft water can reduce that bill by up to 65%. It can also eliminate extra rinse cycles and hot water. Plus using less detergent, household cleaners, and chemicals is better for the environment.
