How does having a water softener benefit your clothing?
• With hard water, the minerals in our water (calcium and magnesium) stay in your clothing which can cause your clothes to wear out faster or just look duller overall. With a water softener and having the absence of those minerals in your water, it is gentler on your clothing which helps them to stay bright, last longer, and even get your white clothes whiter!
• You can actually save on laundry detergent! With a water softener, you'll actually find you are able to cut your soap down to half or even a third of what you previously used to achieve the same result.
• With iron and manganese in our water, they can react with bleach and cause your whites to yellow. Running a system like our Defender or Champion, you remove those heavy metals and are free to use bleach as you please!
• Hardness in the water can actually affect the feel of fabric. The mineral build up left behind in your towels, sheets, clothes, etc. can make them feel stiff, literally hard, and scratchy. It will also cause your towels to be less absorbent over time.
These are just some of the many benefits of having a water softener. Many people believe a water softener is needed for the purpose of protecting your home's plumbing system, but the benefits are endless when it comes to adding a water treatment system.
