The public water supply in many areas contains high levels of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate. These minerals precipitate out of the water constantly, causing sediment buildup in water heaters, lime scale in pipes and fixtures, and soap scum on bathroom surfaces. The minerals make washing machines and dishwashers less effective and leave deposits on laundry, dishes and glassware. It is sometimes more cost-effective to install a water softener than to regularly replace water heaters and repair clogged Plumbing. Water softeners can also reduce water usage, by eliminating the need for pre-wash cycles on dishwashers and washing machines.
