Is softened water safe to drink?
There is no evidence that soft water is safe or unsafe to drink, but in countries where drinking water is obtained from various sources, such as wells or municipal water systems, it is recommended to drink only purified water. Water treated with a water softener is safe to drink.
How can I determine if the salinity of a water softener has been reduced?
A clear indicator of a water softener’s low salinity is the difference in water quality. Once you start using a water softener, the water quality in your home will improve. The change in quality is very easy to understand. You will notice common hard water problems such as soap scum, dishes taking longer than usual to wash, poor lather in the shower, dull clothes, rough hair, and dry skin. If you start experiencing these problems, it is time to add salt to your water softener.
Does my water softener need maintenance?
If your water pressure suddenly drops and your water softener sounds like it is running continuously, your water softener may be in bad shape and needs maintenance.
How do I know what size water softener I need for my home?
You can usually multiply the number of people in your home by 80 liters, which is the average amount of water one person uses per day. Then multiply this number by the hardness level of the water when tested. This will help you determine what size grains to look for.
Does it matter what type of salt I use in the Water Softener?
Water softeners work best with sodium chloride or potassium chloride. Sodium chloride is commercially available in cubes or pellets. Sodium chloride is also preferable because of its low cost.
Will the water softener improve the quality of my hair and skin?
Hard water contains minerals that absorb the skin’s natural oils and break down its natural protective layer. Persistent use of hard water can lead to dry skin and cause various skin problems such as eczema. Hard water can also dry out hair, making it thinner and causing itching of the scalp.
Fabric softeners are important for hair and skin health because when hard water is softened, harmful minerals stop damaging hair and skin. In addition, soft water also prevents soap build-up. Soapy water can clog skin pores and leave calcium deposits on skin and hair.
