What is a water softener and how does it work?

A water softener is a device that removes minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, from hard water. It works through a process called ion exchange, where hard water passes through a resin bed that captures the minerals and exchanges them with sodium or potassium ions, resulting in soft water.

How do I know if I need a water softener?

If you notice limescale build-up on your faucets, showerheads, and appliances, or if your skin and hair feel dry after showering, you likely have hard water. Additionally, spots on glassware and dishes, as well as stiff laundry, are signs that a water softener could benefit your home.
