What Is a Water Softener & How Does It Work?
A water softener is a system designed to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium from your water.
It works through a process called ion exchange, where hard minerals are replaced with sodium or potassium ions—resulting in softer, cleaner water flowing through your home.
What that means for you:
- No more chalky buildup on fixtures
- Better soap lather and cleaning
- Longer-lasting appliances
