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 can show up in everyday ways, such as:
- 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
Water hardness can vary by community and water source.
You do not 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
Softened water can offer benefits your household may notice 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 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 that they can use less soap, shampoo and detergent while still getting good results.

- 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
A water softener with a dechlorinator offers the benefits of water softening along with additional filtration designed to reduce chlorine and certain other substances.
