How can homeowners tell if hard water is affecting their appliances at home? Hard water often reveals itself through these telltale signs:

- Dishes with streaks or water spots
- Stiff or dingy laundry
- Dry or itchy skin
How Do I Address Hard Water in My Home?
If you notice any hard water signs in your home, you may need a water softening system. The type of water softening treatment that will work best for your home depends on how hard your water actually is. A Salt-Free Water Softener Alternative conditions your home water, and it’s available in multiple sizes depending on the number of bathrooms you have in your home. This salt-free water softener alternative is only intended to treat water hardness and does not filter out other contaminants. Certified at 99.6% for scale prevention, the Pentair Water Solutions water softener alternative requires minimal maintenance and generates zero wastewater.
Traditional salt-based water softeners swap calcium and magnesium ions from the affected hard water by replacing these ions with sodium ions from the salt in the system. The salt within the system must be replaced at regular intervals. These softeners effectively reduce hardness mineral ions from your home’s water.
The best place to start is a Pentair Water Test, which will not only tell you the level of hardness in your water, but also the presence of 15 other common contaminants. Our Pentair water experts can then match you to the right filtration solution based on your results so you can enjoy peace of mind and turn your water woes into water that wows.
