Results for tag: "Water Softener"

Water softeners are a type of household appliance used to reduce the hardness of water. Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium, which can cause scale buildup in pipes and fixtures, as well as soap scum on dishes and laundry. Water softeners work by exchanging the calcium and magnesium ions in hard water with sodium ions, resulting in softer water that is easier to use and more pleasant to the touch. Water softeners are becoming increasingly popular in households, as they can help reduce the amount of time and money spent on cleaning and maintenance. Soft water can also help reduce the amount of soap and detergent needed for cleaning, as well as improve the taste of drinking water. Some of the companies in the water softener market include Culligan, Kinetico, EcoWater, and RainSoft. Show Less Read more
