Reasons Why YOU will LOVE a Water Softener

Softeners provide benefits for your body, laundry, kitchen, bathroom, bank account and more!

Hard water can take a toll on your home and body, but water softeners offer a simple, effective way to protect both! By removing the limerock minerals that cause hardness in your water, a softener prevents the build-up and wear that these minerals create in your plumbing, appliances, and even your skin and hair. Softened water can stop soap scum from forming and sticking to surfaces—from clothing and dishes to showers and sinks—so everything feels and stays cleaner. 

 Advantages of Soft Water For Your Body:

1. Showers and baths feel noticeably more refreshing, leaving your skin smooth with a silky finish.
2. Skin feels calmer and less irritated, helping reduce everyday dryness and itchiness.
3. Hair becomes more manageable—shinier, softer, and easier to style, rather than frizzy or coarse.

 Advantages of Soft Water For Your Laundry:

1. Clothes come out feeling softer because both detergent and minerals rinse away completely.
2. Whites stay bright, and colors look more vibrant wash after wash.
3. Fabric fibers last longer—up to 30% longer—because mineral buildup is no longer breaking them down.
4. Soft water increases the cleaning power of detergent, allowing you to use up to 80% less while getting the same results.
5. You can even wash in cold water without sacrificing cleanliness, helping you save energy and lower your monthly utility bill.

 Advantages of Soft Water For Your Kitchen: 

1. Food and beverages taste better when made with softer, cleaner water.
2. Dishes and glasses dry spot-free.
3. Flatware and utensils stay shiny and clean without extra scrubbing.
4. It helps protect glassware from permanent etching caused by hard water.
5. Eliminates soap film and chalky residue on sinks and faucets.
6. Helps prevent hard water related damage and dullness on granite countertops.
7. Kitchen cleaners and dish soaps work more effectively—and you need less of them—helping reduce household costs over time.

Advantages of Soft Water For Your Bathroom:

1. Prevents soap scum buildup on tubs, tiles, and shower doors, keeping surfaces cleaner longer.
2. Helps shower heads stay unclogged and working properly.
3. Reduces chalky deposits on faucets and fixtures.
4. Makes bathroom cleaning easier, cutting down on time spent scrubbing.
5. Keeps sinks, faucets, and tubs looking fresh and sparkling with minimal effort.

Advantages of Soft Water for Your Savings:

1. Helps water heaters operate more efficiently and last longer.
2. Allows you to use significantly less soap, shampoo, and body wash since everything lathers more efficiently, reducing the need for expensive household cleaners by up to 80%.
3. Reduces energy costs by up to 20% because appliances don’t have to work as hard.
4. Extends the lifespan of fixtures and appliances by up to 42%.
5. Clothing and linens can last up to 30% longer.
6. Helps avoid costly repairs to water-using appliances like washing machines and dishwashers by preventing scale buildup.

NOTE: Maytag and other appliance manufacturers (including tankless hot water heaters) recommend using Soft Water to extend the life of the appliances and keep the warranties in effect.
