About the problem
Hardness is calcium, magnesium, and lime. They are very effective at building up in your water heater, similar to how they accumulate in your kettle or coffee maker, making your water heater highly inefficient. Hardness minerals are also effective at causing corrosion of fixtures. Hardness will leave a film on your glasses and shower doors.
Moreover in dishwashers, hardness minerals can leave your glasses with a film and can actually pit your glassware. When you wash your laundry, the hardness minerals stay in the clothing, causing the material to wear faster and colours to fade more quickly. Hardness also contributes to dry and itchy skin.
The Solution
Water Softener
They remove hardness minerals like calcium, magnesium, and lime, and up to 3 ppm of iron from your water through ion exchange. Water Wise uses a single-valve, low-maintenance unit that is fully computerized. It meters your water usage, so it only cleans itself when necessary. Additionally, all cycles are adjustable, making the water softener highly efficient and saving you money on salt usage.
Be aware of companies that fraudulently sell saltless water softeners. While they may work mathematically, they are not effective in removing hardness minerals and protecting your property from damage.
