If you live in an area with a hard water supply, its high mineral content can cause problems for your home and your well-being. Installing a water softener could help you eliminate these hard water problems, providing benefits in four essential ways.
Hard water creates a buildup of mineral deposits inside pipework, increasing the water pressure and putting extra stress on plumbing and appliances. Using a water softener greatly reduces this problem, lowering maintenance costs and extending the lifespan of heating systems, washing machines, and other essential appliances.
The same mineral buildup also reduces efficiency in many appliances, especially ones that heat water as part of their everyday use. As the heating elements become increasingly covered in a hard, scaly coating, the minerals act as insulators. It takes more and more energy to increase the water's temperature by the same amount. Installing a softener will reduce energy bills by making heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines all run more efficiently.
Soap, dishwashing liquid, and laundry detergent work better with softer water, lathering more easily for increased cleaning performance. Moreover, less streaky residue is left behind after rinsing, improving hygiene and comfort for clothes, dishes, and surfaces.
Lastly, hard water can be tough on your skin and hair, drying them out and leaving them flaky or brittle. Using softer water in your daily regimen will help your skin and hair stay moisturized and healthy, reducing the number of beauty products you need.

But whichever kind of softener you decide on, the benefits of softer water will more than repay the investment you've made.
