7 Benefits to Installing a Whole-House Water Softeners and Filtration System

A whole-house water softener and filtration system will improve the water in your home. These systems are the all-in-one solution to multiple water problems. But what do a water softening and filtration system do? And is it worth the investment?  

Here are seven benefits of using installing a Whole-House Water Softener and Filtration System:

1. SOFTER SKIN AND SILKIER HAIR WITH A WHOLE-HOUSE SOFTENER AND FILTRATION SYSTEM

For starters, you’ll have softer skin and silkier hair because chlorine and hard water aren’t causing damage. Also, since your skin won’t be so dry, you won’t have to apply tons of lotion every time you bathe, saving money. Soap forms a curd instead of a lather with hard water, but it lathers easily with soft water.

2. EXPERIENCE BETTER-TASTING WATER

One of the main reasons our customers love their filters is that it makes tap taste better. However, the benefits of installing a whole-house water softener and filter extend far beyond taste. You will not only save money on bottled water, but you will also have better-tasting water from every tap in your home. Think of all the cooking you do with tap water. Everything will taste better when you prepare food and beverages with softened and filtered water. 

3. USE LESS SOAP WITH A WHOLE-HOUSE WATER SOFTENER

With a whole-house water softener and filter installed, you will use up to 75% less soap. Saving money on soap is one of the top advantages of soft-filtrated water. 

4. SEE LESS SCALE AND SCUM BUILDUP

The primary purpose of a water softener is to reduce scale buildup. This means you won’t have to spend time scrubbing to try to remove all the buildup from your showers, sinks, and other surfaces. In turn, you’ll save money on cleaning products, too. When cleaning with soft water, you won’t need to use as much soap or detergent, and you also won’t need to buy cleaning products to remove scale buildup, making many parts of your house much easier to clean.

5. A WHOLE HOUSE WATER SOFTENER LEAVES FEWER STAINS ON DISHES

Hardness minerals in your water cause those annoying spots on your dishes, shower doors, and fixtures. Removing these minerals virtually eliminates these unsightly spots. However, since soap doesn’t quickly rinse away with hard water, you’ll often see a ring of soap scum around your bathtub and sink. With softened water, the soap will simply wash down the drain.

6. HAVE CLEANER AND BETTER-LOOKING CLOTHES 

When soap curd gets stuck between clothing fibers, your laundry can become stiff and discolored. Furthermore, chlorine causes dyes to fade. The benefit of using soft and filtered water is that your clothing and linens will last longer and retain their original color.

7. YOUR PIPE AND APPLIANCES WILL AVOID COSTLY REPAIR 

Hardness minerals tend to build up inside pipes and appliances, causing damage and inefficiency. Also, chlorine tends to dry out the rubber parts of your appliances and will need to be replaced more frequently. With a whole-house water softener and filter, you can avoid these problems.
