Water Softening and Purification

The thing about hard water is that it contains minerals which cling to your glasses, silverware, pots and pans. Try as you might to stop it, a cloudy residue will eventually form, bringing with it a hazy, half-cleaned look to your belongings.

With soft water, that not possible. These minerals are filtered out before they ever reach the dishwasher. Since minerals also lead to rust and component failure in dishwashers and laundry machines, your appliances will need fewer repairs and experience better performance throughout their lifetime.

When using soap and shower gels in hard water environments, the magnesium and calcium ions produce scum, rather than a fluffy, care-free lather. This scum can linger on your skin, clogging pores.
Hard water is even worse for your hair, where it leaches some of the life out of it, causing dry, straw-like strands and turning light, bouncy hair dull and limp. Adding a soft water purifier will take your showers to a new level.

That’s not quite the right term. Let’s try…your clothes will actually get cleaned. That’s better.

Just like that missing lather in the shower, detergents do not mix well or form a proper solution with hard water. That pale, chalky overlay on your cutlery and glasses can fade into your clothes too. Using soft water can make a tonne of differences to your wardrobe:

• Towels and soft clothes will become less scratchy
• No more stains from iron and elements in the water
• Clothes come out squeaky clean, with no clingy residue

It also does wonders for your wallet, since you’ll need less detergent and fewer trips to the supermarket!
