Benefits of Using a Water Softener

It’s inexpensive to run a water softener. It uses less than $3 worth of electricity annually.

A water softener only needs about 2.5 pounds of salt. That’s 80 percent less salt than dial-style softeners. Soft water can make cleaning easier, help your appliances last longer and help you prevent plumbing clogs.

  • Clog-Free Plumbing and Fixtures

    Clog-Free Plumbing and Fixtures

    Soft water helps water flow more easily in plumbing. Hard water causes mineral desposits to accumulate in your home’s pipes and fixtures. This can cause clogs and reduced water pressure.

    Showerheads in homes with hard water can lose 75 percent of their flow rate in less than 18 months. Soft water maintains the luster and full flow for faucets and showerheads, virtually as well as the day they were initially installed.

    Soft water is low in minerals. It doesn’t leave deposits in pipes or restrict water flow in fixtures.

  • Longer-Lasting Appliances

    Longer-Lasting Appliances

    Over time, hard water can cause minerals to build up in your washing machine and dishwasher. The mineral deposits in hard water form limescale when heated.

    This can coat the heating elements in your appliances, reducing life span and efficiency. As a result, your appliances may need frequent repairs or need to be replaced earlier than normal.

  • Efficient Water Heaters

    Efficient Water Heaters

    Soft water preserves the efficiency of water heaters.

    Gas storage and tankless water heaters using soft water can maintain the factory efficiency rating over a 15-year time span. By comparison, using hard water instead for a gas water heater can reduce efficiency by up to 48 percent.

    If you have an electric water heater, up to 30 pounds of rock-like scale can build up in the tank just from hard water. The scale is a poor heat conductor. It could shorten the life of the heating element, since it has to work harder to heat water.

  • Soft Skin, Brighter Laundry and Cleaner Dishes

    Soft Skin, Brighter Laundry and Cleaner Dishes

    Hard water minerals build up on your skin and in your hair, causing it to dry out. It can also contribute to painful razor burn.

    Soft water is better at rinsing soap residue, so you’ll have softer skin and shinier hair. In addition, your clothes will look more colorful and your dishes will look cleaner.

  • Less Soap and Cleaning Time

    Less Soap and Cleaning Time

    When you are dealing with hard water, you have to use more soap for a good lather. The minerals in hard water react with soap. This creates a scum on sinks.

    With soft water, you won’t need to waste as much time cleaning to remove soap scum. You’ll also use less detergent.
