Hard Water and the Water Softener

Hard water refers to water that contains a high amount of minerals in it. The minerals that make water "hard" include magnesium, calcium, and gypsum. Hard water isn’t harmful to drink, but it creates numerous problems for plumbing because of the limescale it deposits on the interior of the pipes and water-using appliances. These limescale deposits reduce volume in pipes and can destroy water heaters, and it also leaves film and deposits on surfaces and fixtures around a home.

A whole-house water softener system counteracts hard water through a process of ion exchange. The softener uses a mixture of brine to swap sodium ions with the hard water ions in the incoming water. This "softens" the water by removing almost all hardness from it. The water softener system flushes away the hard water minerals and recharges itself from a brine tank.

The Water Conditioner Option

A water conditioner is a kind of salt-free way of improving hard water conditions, although it doesn’t make the water actually "soft." Soft water is any water that’s free of minerals down to 1 grain of hardness per gallon. With a water conditioner, the minerals remain—except their ability to create limescale is reduced.

A water conditioner isn’t as efficient at removing the negative side effects of hard water as a water softener is. A water softener can be near to 100% effective at hard water-trouble elimination, while a conditioner ranges between 41% and 94% depending on system type. However, conditioners don’t waste water and allow some beneficial minerals to remain in the water supply. The type best to meet your needs is something your installer can help you decide.
