What does a water softener do?
Water softeners help reduce minerals commonly found in hard water—such as calcium and magnesium—that can affect how water behaves in your home.
By improving water quality at the source, a water softener can help make water easier to use for:
- Everyday household tasks
- Cleaning
- Bathing
- Laundry
Do you have hard water?
Hard water is common in many parts of Alberta and can show up in everyday ways, like:
- Spots on dishes and glassware
- Soap that doesn’t lather easily
- Residue on faucets, showers, and sinks
- Laundry that feels stiff or less clean
- Water that leaves buildup over time
You don’t need to measure it yourself—the simplest way to understand your home’s water is with an in-home water test.
What you gain with softer water
Soft water has several benefits your family will experience every day:
Easier cleaning throughout your home
With softer water, soap can rinse away more easily—so you may spend less time scrubbing sinks, showers, and fixtures.
Cleaner-looking dishes and glassware
Reduce spotting and residue on dishes and glassware, helping everything come out clearer and brighter.
Softer laundry with less effort
Clothes can feel softer and look better over time, with improved performance from your detergent.
More comfortable showers
Softer water can leave skin feeling less dry and hair easier to manage after washing.
Support for your plumbing and appliances
Reducing mineral buildup can help support the long-term performance of water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, and other plumbing systems.
More efficient use of soaps and cleaning products
Many homeowners find they can use less soap, shampoo, and detergent while still getting good results.

What kind of hard water treatment do I need?
Enercare offers two kinds of water softener units for Alberta homes: standalone water softeners and with water softeners with a dechlorinator unit. Both will soften your water and are easy to maintain, but each offers different benefits.
Benefits of water softeners
- Softens your water and eliminates odour by removing calcium, magnesium, low traces of iron and other minerals.
- Prevents scale buildup on your taps, fixtures and appliances, keeping them performing like new for longer.
- Leaves your hair silkier and more manageable and your skin less dry.
- Prevents laundry from fading and leaves your clothes feeling softer.
- Eliminates spots on your dishes, leaving them sparkling clean, using half the amount of soap compared to washing with hard water.
- Perfect solution for both municipal and well water.
- Uses 80% less salt than traditional water softeners.
- Fully programmable and computerized to measure exact water usage.
- Inexpensive to operate: A 12-volt AC unit uses less than $3/year in electricity.
- Lifetime manufacturer warranty.
Benefits of water softener with a dechlorinator
All the benefits of a water softener on its own, plus:
- Removes chlorine and volatile organic chemicals from your water.
- Chlorine is one of the most common complaints Alberta homeowners make about their water. Enercare’s water softener with a dechlorinator is specifically designed to work in the Canadian municipal water markets and is our #1 water treatment seller.
