With a world built around busy schedules and constant stresses and chaos, the quality of the water in your home may be one of the last things on your mind. But we encounter water in countless ways throughout our hectic days, particularly in our homes. In everything from the glass of water from the kitchen sink you are enjoying, to the stream of water that jets out of your shower head, water quality plays a crucial component to your health and wellbeing.
We at A-1 EcoWater Treatment understand first hand just how important water quality is in your household. That’s why we can’t emphasize enough how crucial it is to have an exceptional water softener installed. While hard water is safe to use, it still contains trace amounts of various metals and minerals. When these minerals build up, your indoor plumbing system may be at risk of severe damage over time. Water softeners remove these harmful materials from your water by removing calcium and iron deposits that naturally exist in hard water. Still unconvinced? There are quite a few advantages to installing a water softener. 
Your Home Appliances will Thank You
According to Home Improvements Base,  mineral buildup from hard water that often leaves pesky residue on clothing or dishes also gathers in the wirings of your electronic appliances. If this build up continues to grow on appliances such as water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines, the efficiency of said appliances will drastically decrease. Because soft water eliminates damaging materials, your appliances will have a longer and more proficient life.
You’ll Have a Cleaner Plumbing System
The mineral deposits caused by hard water can cause a nasty buildup in pipes and plumbing fixtures. As the minerals build up over time, it exposes the pipes to corrosions and blockages. This will shorten the lifespan of your plumbing system. Conversely, the system remains free from blockages when soft water is used in your home’s plumbing system instead. Less mineral deposit also means reduced exposure to corrosion!
It’s Good for the Environment
Using a water softener will not only save you money on utility costs, it will also minimize pollution and reduce greenhouse gasses.  When the water is soft, chemical-free soaps and detergents lather quickly and thickly. This allows you to clean your clothes without worrying about the lack of foam. Unlike chemical-based detergents, natural soaps, and chemical-free detergents do not pollute the waters.
