Have you ever noticed particularly spotty dishes, buildup in your shower or that your skin and laundry feels like sandpaper at times? Then you may have hard water in your home. We HAD hardwater in our home until we recently installed a whole house water filtration system and a water softner. Best. Decision. Ever!
Livng here in the United States, you would think that we would have the perfect water – but the truth is that most of us don’t. While it may be safe to drink, hard water can do a number on your health and home.
What is hard water?
As rainwater passes through the earth and into other means of water, it picks up certain “hardness” materials that will precipitate and clog pipes, and may also damage your appliances. Hard water can leave your appliances with all kinds of issues due to the build up hardwater can leave in them.
BUT you don’t have to live with it! You CAN take matters into your own hands, like our family did, and get a whole house water softener!
Morton Salt has so many options you can use with your water softener system, too!
There are so many reasons you should soften your water that you wouldn’t even realize! Think less soap required to clean your clothes, no more harsh water stains in your tubs, less buildup in your appliances – need I say more? Soft water will save you time, money, and have you feeling at your best.
I am amazed at the changes soft water has had on our home. My skin feels so soft and smooth now that we have soft water and I don’t have to use nearly as much shampoo and soap – so that is saving me money! We’re even using less detergent in our clothes washer – saving even more money!
Being on TV one day a week, I want to make sure I look my best. Dry skin and hair are a thing of the past for me! I have noticed my skin glowing more and my hair is much more smooth. My kids have noticed the same thing! As a mom, I am really thankful that we installed a water filtraiton and water softener system in our home. It’s a luxury that we can’t afford to be without!

My wife absolutely loves soft water, but I never really had it growing up, so we haven’t gotten a softener yet. I was always aware of the downsides to hard water, but I thought we stayed up on it pretty well. I hadn’t thought about the effects that hard water has on appliances though. After reading this, I may head out sooner rather than later to get a softener for my house. Thanks for sharing!

I had no idea that hard water may be damaging not only to the skin but also to my appliances. My sister told me that I should try to contact a few water softener services in the city and ask quotes to get the best price for me. Meanwhile, I like what you said that soft water will save me time and money since it had plenty of benefits.
