Are you unhappy with the quality of your water at home and not sure what you can do about it? The solution to your problem may be a home water softener. A water softener is going to reduce the minerals that are found in the water, such as iron, calcium, and magnesium, which is what is causing the quality of your water to be poor. Here are some benefits it can provide to your home's water quality.

Reduce Cloudiness

Does the water coming out of your faucets appear to be a bit cloudy? This is due to you actually being able to see the mineral deposits in the water, which does not make drinking the water very appealing. A water softener will remove those deposits and make the water appear to be a lot more clear when it comes directly from the tap.

Reduce White Stains On Dishes

All of those minerals in the water are the main reason why your dishes sometimes come out of the dishwasher with white stains on them. What you are seeing is the dried iron, calcium, and magnesium that was in the water when the dishes went through the dishwasher. This is not due to your dishwasher itself failing to get the dishes clean. Softening the water should resolve the issue.

Reduce Plumbing Line Clogs

All of those minerals in the water tend to cause clogs in your water lines, as the minerals collect on the inside of the pipes and reduce water pressure over time. By installing a water softener, there will be fewer mineral deposits that have the potential to collect in your plumbing, which will help prevent water pressure from diminishing even more. 

Reduce Appliance Malfunction

If the water is affecting your plumbing lines, just imagine what it is doing to any appliance in your home that uses water. Your dishwasher, ice machine, water dispenser, and washing machine all have water lines that will have similar mineral build up inside them. Softening the water will help improve the longevity of these appliances so that they last a long time. 

Improve Washed Clothes Comfort

Ever notice that the clothes that come out of your washing machine feel a bit stiff? This is due to the minerals getting into your clothes during the washing cycle. Soft water will help your clothes feel soft as well, making everything that you wear feel more comfortable in the end.
