Water Softeners & Conditioners

Water Softeners for a Healthier and Happier Home

Your home is your place of peace, somewhere you go to relax and unwind. But when you’re spending your weekends scrubbing hard water stains off sinks and tubs, it can quickly transform into a place of constant stress. This is where water softeners come in. A water softener is a device designed to remove calcium, magnesium, and other hard water minerals known to cause those and other household problems, creating a healthier and happier home for you and your household members.

How a Water Softener Works

Traditional water softeners soften water through a process called “ion exchange,” which involves replacing the hardness ions in the water with more desirable sodium or potassium ions. However, this softening technique means the system will require ongoing maintenance, as users must purchase large bags of salt to refill the brine tank from time to time.

But more recently, salt-free water conditioners have gained much popularity as an eco-friendly and maintenance-free alternative. Salt-free systems, such as the Springwell FutureSoft FS1 Salt Free Water Softener, use a physical process called Template-Assisted Crystallization (TAC) to condition water. Unlike ion exchange, TAC converts the dissolved hardness minerals into small calcite crystals that remain suspended in the water. The TAC process essentially changes the minerals’ chemical structure. That way, they won’t stick to surfaces and cause scale buildup in pipes and appliances.

Why Invest in a Water Softener?

A reliable water softener can do a world of good in your household. Not only does it extend the lifespan of your water-using appliances, but it puts you a step closer to a cleaner, safer lifestyle.

Let’s explore some of the remarkable benefits of investing in a water softener for your home, grooming, and savings:

Do I Need a Water Softener?

The need for a water softener can be recognized by a few common symptoms, including chalky white films on dishes, mineral scale buildup on water faucets and shower heads, and dry hair and skin, to name a few. However, conducting a hard water test provides a more reliable assessment of your drinking water and helps you make an informed decision whether to purchase a water softener.

If your water is hard, purchasing a water softener is the smart choice, of course. But if your water is not hard and there’s no sign of hard water in your home, you probably don’t need one. In this case, consider yourself one of the lucky few because most American families have hard water.
