Residential Water Treatment Systems
The term “water softener” is often used interchangeably with a variety of different systems.
We value high standards and you deserve the best. Dedicated to a personalized approach, we are here to ensure excellent water and even better products and services.
- Appliances have to work harder and more often with hard water, and thus will have to be replaced sooner. Hard water forces you to run extra wash and rinse cycles in your washing machine and dishwasher. Likewise, hard water forces you to use appliances that heat water longer because it takes longer to get through the scale to heat the water.
- Scale insulates the heat source of any electric heating elements in your home. The insulating scale will cause appliances to overheat – and have to be replaced.
- Calcium and magnesium deposits can build up in pipes, decreasing your plumbing system’s performance. Eventually, pipes can become completely clogged.
- The build-up of deposits from hard water causes excessive wear on moving parts, causing premature failure of appliances.
- The effects of hard water are serious. A study by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) found that washing machines used with hard water can wear out up to 30 percent faster. This means that a washing machine that should last 10 years will last only 7 years when hard water deposits form in it.
Reap the benefits of treated water! Nationally, eight out of ten homes do not have naturally soft water. Even municipally treated water and water drawn from wells may still have excessive levels of hardness. Have you tested your water for hardness yet?
- Untreated water can cause aesthetic problems with food and beverages that require water use, e.g. pasta, rice, tea, and coffee.
- Softening your water will make ice look clear not cloudy, taste clean, and smell fresh.
- Buy less soap, detergent, shampoo, and household cleaners
- The hardness in water counteracts the alkalinity of a cleaner, such that some of the cleaner combines with the minerals in hard water to form a build-up. The amount of the cleaner that combines with the hardness minerals doesn’t lather or dissolve. Because less of the soap/shampoo/detergent lathers and dissolves, more is required.
- The build-up itself requires cleaning off (of your skin, hair, tub, appliances, etc.) so even more of the cleaning agent is required!
- Replace clothes and fabrics less often
- Reduce your fuel and electricity bills
Fabrics wears out up to 15% faster when washing with hard water. This is probably from residue in the fabric that stiffens it, increasing friction and wear on the fabric as it flexes. The increased wear-and-tear that fabrics washed in hard water suffer may also be because the effectiveness of detergents – which help lubricate fabric and prolong its life – is reduced by hard water.
A Purdue University study found that, by washing fabrics in hard water:
- Colors fade faster.
- Whites darken or yellow faster.
- Fabrics aren’t as soft; they stiffen more.
- Laundry doesn’t get as clean.
- Laundry resoils with greater ease.
Your soaps will be more effective and you’ll get things cleaner with conditioned water. A water conditioner pays itself off in savings from overuse of cleaning supplies.
- Eliminate staining of sinks, toilets, tubs and fixtures from acid and iron.
- Household surfaces and appliances are easier to clean. This is because hard water counteracts the alkalinity of household cleaners, such that it reduces their effectiveness.
- You can eliminate residue on your bathtubs, toilets, sinks, tile, appliances, etc. Hardness minerals combine with soaps and household cleaners to form a sticky, insoluble scum.
- You’ll also notice less spotting on dishes, windows, cars, etc.There are several ways in which hard water will cause you to have to replace your appliances, plumbing, and fixtures earlier than you should have to:

F.A.Q.
We are here to enhance your water to improve your quality of life.
The “hardness” in hard water originally referred to the difficulty to wash or lather soap in said water. This happens as a result of too many hardness minerals in water. Calcium and magnesium are the most common hardness minerals.
The reason many people have itchy or dry skin after a shower is due to the minerals in their water. Very small chemical and metal particles get into pores and cause skin irritation
