Benefits of Using a Water Softener

It’s economical to operate a water softener. It uses less than $3 in electricity per year.2

A water softener only requires 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 work longer and help you avoid plumbing clogs.

Clog-Free Plumbing and Fixtures

Soft water helps water flow freely in plumbing. Hard water causes mineral deposits to build up in your pipes and fixtures. This can lead to clogs and reduced water pressure.

Showerheads in homes with hard water can lose 75 percent of their flow rate in shorter than 18 months. Soft water maintains the shine and full flow for faucets and showerheads, nearly as well as the day they were added.

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

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 they become warm. This can cover the heating elements in your appliances, reducing life span and efficiency.

As a result, your appliances may need frequent repairs or need to be swapped out earlier.

Efficient Water Heaters

Soft water protects the efficiency of water heaters.

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

If you use an electric water heater, up to 30 pounds of rock-like scale can build up in the tank from hard water. The scale is an inferior heat conductor. It can shorten the life of your heating element, because it has to work harder to heat water.

Soft Skin, Brighter Laundry and Cleaner Dishes

Hard water minerals build up on your skin and in your hair, making it look dull. It can also cause painful razor burn.

Soft water is better at rinsing soap residue, so you’ll have smoother skin and glossier hair. Plus, your clothes will look more colorful and your dishes will look cleaner.

Less Soap and Cleaning Time

When you have hard water, you have to use extra soap for a decent lather. The minerals in hard water react with soap. This creates a scum on sinks.

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

What You Need to Know About Hard Water and Water Softener Systems


What is Hard Water?

Hard water has more minerals than ordinary water.

What is a Water Softener System?

It’s an appliance that removes excess minerals like calcium and magnesium. It also reduces chlorine, iron and volatile organic compounds.

How Long Does a Water Softener Last?

A water softener that’s the appropriate size for your home will last for many years. Its lifetime depends on the manufacturer and how much you operate it.

How Much Does a Water Softener Cost?

Some water softeners are more efficient than others. As a result, the total may differ.

Costs can also be different based on how hard your water is and how much water you need. If your water is very hard and is used frequently, softening rates will increase.

Is Softened Water Safe to Drink?

Softened water includes all the natural minerals we need. While a small amount of sodium is mixed in during the softening process, softened water is perfectly safe to drink.

What’s the Quality of My Drinking Water?

Water quality differs by geography and processing levels. It can also be influenced by construction, mining, agriculture and mineral deposits your groundwater goes through.

You can find out if there are chemicals in your home’s drinking water.

The Environmental Working Group has a free database of more than 30 million state records of tap water tests. About 81 percent of community water plants checked in the U.S. have chemicals linked to cancer, according to the group’s analysis.

Can Brine from Softeners Damage my Septic Tank?

A study by the Water Quality Association determined a septic tank can’t be damaged by brine let out by a water softener. The tanks that were monitored were correctly placed and working normally.

Softened water may help limit detergents being let into your septic tank.
