Scale buildup
When you use your sink, tub, and appliances, minerals like calcium and magnesium leave behind deposits. This buildup leads to white stains and residue that could require cleaning with vinegar.
But it's not just fixtures and appliances. Hard water can also leave behind film on your glasses and dishware — even if you run them through the dishwasher. Skip these inconveniences with a water softening system that'll keep your home's appliances and dishes sparkling.
Faded Laundry
Laundry looking dull and faded? And does it feel like a piece of sandpaper? Hard water might be to blame.
Hard water minerals can bind to soaps and detergents, rendering them less effective. You'll notice this when washing your hands with hard water, too, as you'll experience fewer suds. Luckily, a household water softener can get your clothes — and hands — back to feeling soft and silky.
Dry Hair & Skin
When a shower makes your skin and hair feel drier than before, there's a problem. And that problem is hard water.
Your body naturally produces an oil called sebum that protects your hair and skin. Showering in hard water removes some of this sebum, leaving your skin irritated and your hair brittle. If you find your hair feeling dry, frizzy, or difficult to manage, a water softening system might be the solution.
Expired Softener
Water softening systems don't last forever. And if yours is on its last leg, you might start to notice water quality issues or a change in taste. The first step: consult your water filter or softener's manual to see the recommended replacement schedule.
Past due? You might replace some filter or softener systems faster depending on the concentration of chemicals or minerals in your water. When a system reduces a higher quantity of contaminants than average, the filter media can fill up and expire quicker.
Low water pressure
We've already mentioned how film can build up on appliances. Over time, this scale can slowly clog your pipes and appliances like dishwashers and water heaters, making them less effective. Hard water can cost you a small fortune in early appliance replacement.
Unfortunately, you can’t climb into your plumbing to check for scale buildup. Something may be amiss if you notice consistently low water pressure in your shower or faucets, so consider upgrading to a household water softener system.

Great Product
This system has made a big difference in our house. The water tastes better, the clothes come out cleaner, then shampoo/conditioner washes out faster and leaves a cleaner feeling, and no spotting from the dishwasher.

Great Addition to our Home!
Bought about 2 months ago....have already complimented myself for this decision! Water taste is excellent, and the cup of coffee has never tasted better. Hard water stains around the sink are a thing of the past. Fully satisfied.

Water is Wonderful!
Have wanted soft water since moving here 18 years ago. Why did I wait so long? The system is magic -- my hair has never been so soft, no more lime residue everywhere and the water tastes like a mountain stream.
