People today are becoming more knowledgeable and show actual concern with their quality of life. Water is essential because we need water to drink, clean, and washing to mention several. However, with environmental issues arising day by day, we can never be sure the quality of water we are using today.
A water softener is one of the technological advances invented as an alternative to enhance the efficiency of water and most importantly for long term money saving of plumbing and water-using tools. In general, water softener performs exchanging process of hard minerals such as calcium and magnesium, abundant in hard water with potassium and sodium minerals, softer minerals which are more skin-friendly, thus make it feel and look fresher. It is because the minerals mentioned in hard water are two of the contributing factors to skin and hair dryness. Whole home water filtrations systems not only have health benefits for the household, they also have major benefits for your plumbing system. Hard water has high amounts of calcium that will build up in the pipes, slowly deteriorating your appliances such as the dishwasher and washing machine. As a whole, the quality of the plumbing system deteriorates over time. Visit our Article: Difference Between Hard and Soft Water |

Calcium and magnesium are hard and large minerals in comparative to sodium and potassium. And due to their size, they clog and block the passage of the tools, with magnesium as a metal to contribute to the corrosion. Therefore, with the minerals successfully removed by the water softener, it can also help to rub out remaining soap grime which is evident with each usage of hard water.
This technology costs around $1,000 to $2,000, very cost-effective since it has 15 years of life span.

Water Conditioner VS Water Softener - What's the Difference?Unlike conventional water softeners, a water conditioner is another option to a salt-free water softener and often misinterpreted as ‘water softening’ by certain groups. It does not carry the function to soften the water but merely acts to discharge calcium content out of the water through numerous systems.
Eric Kneller who is the owner of Living Water says that water conditioner is perfect to reduce the water waste from the back-flushing, thus an energy-efficient system since it requires little to no maintenance after installation for a long time. Friendly reminder to you, it is essential to differentiate the meaning of the term ‘water conditioner‘ and ‘water softener’ because there are certain companies who deliberately make false advertisings, using the word ‘softener’ to their water conditioner products. |
