Water Hardness Solutions for Municipal Water

Soft water is gentle, beautifying, enriching

Soft water means...

Soft, clean skin

Soft water is gentler on your skin and better for getting your body completely clean.

Soft, silky hair

Soft water makes hair more manageable. Hair color stays vibrant with a dazzling shine.

Softer, cleaner laundry

Soft water makes clothes softer, brighter and requires less detergent even in cold water.

Soft water saves you money...

In washing machines, detergent use can be cut by 50% and cold water can be used instead of hot.

In dishwashers, softened water can cut detergent use by up to 70%.

Water heaters can consume up to 22% less energy with soft water.

Doing laundry in soft water has proved significantly more effective than doing laundry in hard water, no matter how much soap or detergent is used. The principle is much the same as it is with skin care; hard water combines with the ingredients of soap and detergents to form a dulling curd on clothing, one that holds soil in the fabric, shielding it from removal. It causes clothing to look dingy, grayed, or yellowed, to mat or stiffen with repeated washings. Fibers may deteriorate, wearing out at a faster rate. Nothing looks really clean; nothing is really clean!

Studies have proven that softened water cuts the time required for housecleaning from almost 4 hours to less than 2 1/2 hours! With soft water, a quick rinse or once-over wiping cleans sinks, tubs, shower tiles, and plumbing fixtures – no more hard water soap scum to scour and scrub (no more harsh chemicals, either). Floors, windows, and woodwork clean better with soft water, too.

Control scale buildup

The Soft-Tec® scale control system’s reliability transforms the positively charged calcium ions into calcium crystals. These calcium crystals are stable and cannot attach to any surfaces and hardware as the calcium crystals are rinsed away by the water flow. The size of the calcium crystals bonds is so small that they can only be seen with a microscope therefore the effect is the same as if the water was completely free of calcium. Tests lasting several years prove that these calcium crystals cannot attach to any kind of surface and the result was 100% scale control and prevention.

Also other ions can no longer attach to surfaces because of the structure of the surface created by the Soft-Tec® hardness stabilizer. The corrosion prevention works by adding a 30-micron protective layer to the surface of existing pipes and hardware.
