Why are water softeners used?
Water softening is an important process, because the hardness of water is reduced during this process. When water is hard, it can clog pipes and soap will dissolve in it less easily. Water softening can prevent these negative effects. Hard water causes a higher risk of lime scale deposits in household water systems. Due to this lime scale build-up, pipes are blocked, the efficiency of a hot water heater is reduced, and there can be damaging effects on washing machines and other fixtures in the home. Water softening will expand the life span of washing machines, and the life span of pipelines. It also contributes to the improved working, and longer lifespan of solar heating systems, air conditioning units and many other water-based applications.
