While rainwater is “soft” when it falls from the sky, as it flows into aquifers it can absorb minerals such as calcium, magnesium and trace metals. While safe to drink, hard water can inhibit the effectiveness of soaps and detergents, which can result in bathtub rings, spots on glasses and dishes, less effective clothes washing and less effective rinsing of soaps and shampoos.

Through the removal of hard water minerals, softened water generally goes easier on your plumbing and makes detergents and other soaps more effective. The right type of water softener installation can make a difference in how smoothly things flow around the house.

The term “hard water” refers to ground water that contains high levels of such minerals as magnesium or calcium. Water softeners are devices designed to reduce the amount or effects of minerals in your home’s water system. This guide reviews the different types of water softeners and how they can protect your plumbing and improve your water supply.

Of the various types of water softener systems, the most common are ion exchange water softeners, dual-tank water softeners and salt-free water softeners.

Tip: Salt-based water softeners are restricted in some communities, so check the codes in your area before installing one.
