What is a water softener?
A water softeners are a common household appliance that many homeowners turn to for improving the quality of their water. These appliances are effective at addressing a specific issue: water hardness. Essentially they remove the calcium and magnesium that can build up and damage your plumbing. It can lead to scale buildup, reduced soap effectiveness, and even shorten the life of your appliances such as water heaters, dish washers and more.
However, there’s a common misconception that water softeners make your water safer to drink. That is one super power they do not have.
