When you have hard water in your home, the pipes get a build up of minerals in them, decreasing water pressure. Your sinks and tubs are hard to clean because of those minerals creating a build up around faucets and drains. Dishwashers and clothes washers get clogged up when they are operated with hard water, and you must use more detergent to get the dishes and clothes clean.

A water softener can make your life easier in many ways. Baths and showers will leave your skin feeling soft and silky, and you won’t have as many problems with dry skin when you have a water softener. Your dishes and clothes will get cleaner and be better rinsed with soft water, and you will need less detergent to do the job. After cleaning the mineral deposits that came with hard water from your sinks and tubs, your water softener will ensure that cleaning will be a breeze in the future, and you won’t have that hard water film on shower doors and walls to contend with.

Modern water softeners can be programmed to recharge only when needed instead of at certain set times like the old ones did. That will save money on water and softener salt, because if you use less water than normal for some reason, the softener will not recharge until the level of softened water gets low. When you go for a two-week trip, you won’t have to think of your softener wasting salt and water by recharging twice a week unnecessarily. You can connect a few pipes or all of your pipes to the soft water. You may want to leave the outside faucets unconnected to the softener, because your yard and garden do not need soft water.

When you purchase a new water softener, some companies’ warranties offer free delivery of softener salt, and their technicians will make sure the unit is running correctly and even fill your softener with the salt for you.

You will find that you save money on detergent, soap and cleaning supplies when you have a water softener, baths will feel luxurious, and you won’t need to use as many lotions to keep your skin soft.
