• Water Softening reduces carbon footprints and pollution, increases appliance and plumbing life. 

• Water Softening saves money and protects our planet.

 

Hard water is hard on both you and your home investments. 

 

An independent 2009 study by the Water Quality Research Foundation (WQRF) found that water softeners help water heaters and major appliances operate more efficiently and prevent clogs in shower heads, faucets, pipes and drains.

​

With water heaters, researchers found that when using softened water, the units maintained their original factory efficiency rating for up to 15 years.

 

Running hard water through water heaters cut their efficiency by up to 48 percent and lime scale buildups shortened the lifespan of the units by 33 percent.  Some tankless water heaters failed after just 1.6 years!

 

Shower heads performed well on soft water, but those running with hard water lost 75 percent of their flow rate in less than 18 months. When running hard water through faucets, the strainers clogged within 19 days.

​

Softened water saves money by keeping appliances at top efficiency and allow them to last longer. The amounts of dish washing and laundry detergents are also cut in half with softened water. Softened water allows lower washing temperatures for laundering.  Cold soft water can be used without a drop in cleaning performance.

 

Studies conducted by the independent test firm Scientific Services S/D, Inc., of New York, showed that using softened water can:

• Reduce detergent use by 50 percent in washing machines and save energy by making it possible to wash in 60 F cold water instead of 100 F hot water, while achieving the same or even better stain removal along with whiter clothes.

• Achieve the same cleaning results in dishwashers while using less than half the detergent.

• Decrease the use of soaps and harsh cleansers that remove lime scale and soap scum which go down the drain and eventually end up in our environment. 

• Allow your valuable appiances to last 50 percent longer reducing manufacturing and transportation carbon footprints.
