What else can I help you with?
When would you use a water softener and what does it do?
When water is hard, meaning it contains more minerals than ordinary water, you would want to use a water softener. Water softeners remove minerals from hard water, which would normally clog drains. Water softeners are normally used if water contains a lot of calcium and magnesium in it. The softener filters out the calcium and magnesium to make the water "soft".
What could cause broken up deposits to come out of hot water faucets Would they come from either the hot water heater or water softener of from the pipes themselves?
All of the above. Mineral deposits form on all piping and water appliances.
Would soft water from a softener that was accidentally plumbed to a waterfall outside cause bubbles and foam This is very disgusting?
if you plumbed the overflow (backwash hose) to the fountain, yes if you plumbed the outflow to it, no
What are the benefits of having a water softener system?
A water softener system removes hard minerals like calcium and magnesium from water. This helps prevent scale buildup in pipes and appliances, makes soap work better, keeps clothes soft, reduces skin dryness, and extends appliance life.
Why would the water softener tank fill up and overflow?
It could be that the softener has developed an internal mechanical fault so that it is not fully shutting-off the flow of water to the brine tank after the regeneration cycle has been completed for the softener's ion-exchange resin granules which are held in its "resin tank". A likely cause of the trouble could be that the softener's "brine valve" is now failing to completely shut off the flow of water. It might be caused by a component such as a valve sealing washer on the valve module that you may be able to access and repair as a D-I-Y job. A different cause of the problem could be that the internal "resin tank" - which contains the ion-exchange resin granules - has developed a crack or split which allows water to leak at high pressure into the brine tank. The resin tank is not usually repairable so, if that is the cause, a new resin tank is required. The cost of the work required to have a new tank fitted is unlikely to be worthwhile. It is usually much cheaper to buy a new water softener.
Why it is not advisable to overfill the engine with oil?
If it is high enough to be splashed by the crankshaft it would foam up. That would cause a lack of oil pressure and engine damage.
Does anyone else have an allergic reaction to a potassium water softener?
My family installed a water softener with potassium chloride and ever since then I have gotten very dry skin on my face complete with a red, bumpy, itchy rash. The rash also occurred on the tops of my arms and shoulders, which has never happened to me before. I would actually like to know if this could be caused by the water softener also...

What happens when you overfill the coolant in your car?
If you were to overfill the coolant in your car, then it would start to overflow and come out of the car. The most damage that this would probably do would be getting the coolant on the ground and wasting it.?æ
What is the difference between commercial water softeners and water softeners?
Commercial Water Softeners are designed for extensive use and minimal repair. A water softener is designed to remove Calcium, Magnesium, minimal to moderate iron, and manganese out of water. Commercial Water Softeners are designed for easy repair. They are more expensive, but very simple when it comes to pulling motors, changing valves, and replacing switch boards. A "water softener" that you buy off the shelf or from a dealer is a softener that is designed to take far less load, or "burden", and thus it often needs replacing. The word I am looking for in a Commercial Water Softener is "serviceable". Commercial water softeners are made to be serviced and work year after year. Yes you can service consumer grade softeners but they are not designed to be serviceable - or we would all service our own. The Softener Industry designs Commercial Softeners so they are easy for the them to service, but still bill-able to you. When pulling a consumer grade softener apart you find - bearings and wheels. But if you take the face off commercial models - the motor comes out easily (just unplug it) - the valve takes a little more time, but replacing the computer board is as easy as unplugging the wires. For Residential use - a commercial water softener is a minimal repair softener system, with prolonged life. If you are using a commercial water softener for commercial purposes - because of industrial use, it will need scheduled services. When compared to consumer grade softeners - commercial water softeners are excellent performers.
Is water softener salt toxic?
Good quality water softener salt is chemically no different to food salt and some products are supplied as "food grade" e.g. Hydrosoft Granular salt. Too much of anything will kill you, but anyone trying to eat handfuls of salt will soon vomit it up. So water softener salt would not normally be regarded as toxic. There is a common misconception that water softener salt ends up in softened water, which may be the source of this question. In fact only the sodium element of the salt ends up in the softened water, in the dissolved form of sodium bicarbonate (or baking soda). This is completely harmless. A good water softener supplier will install a hard water tap. This should always be used for babies' formula milk and for the very few people on medically supervised low sodium diets. This is because there is a slightly increased level of sodium in softened water which may effect these groups.
What water process is usually used at home?
If by process, you mean some type of water softener, I would look into a water softener at our local home improvement store. They are usually installed before the inlet to your hot water heater as it increases the longevity of your water heater and also your fixtures that use hot water the most. If you are referring to drinking water there are also options available at your local home improvement outlet for anything from in-line filters to reverse osmosis.
