We have horrible lime and calcium build up - very hard water. We want an entire water softner/filtration system.
Bottled water or attachments for the sink is not what I am talking about, it needs to be for laundry, showers, drinking, cooking, etc.
Please help!
Water softener has not be softening water lately. I fill up the salt tank but it uses it up pretty fast. However water test shows hard water off the chart. I disconnected the water softener and opened up the tank. There was very little amount of resign in the tank. Maybe like 2 inches. I couldn’t find anything broke on the plastic dip tube. Does the resin disintegrate after a while with really really hard water? Or is something broke?
i am just a little curious is hard water better then having a water softener or having a softener better then using hard water?
i have to get water softener 4 hard water in my house.i was told they have a powder of softener in the laundry section but all i see is fabric softener so i have had no luck. can anyone help me out?
A rainsoft water teatment sales came to our house and did some water test 2 days ago. He told us we have really hard water - 26. Therefore, those water softeners sold in Sears or Homedepot won’t work for our house. We should buy an expensive one(4500$) from him to fix our hard water pb. Is that true that if the water is very hard, those regular water softener (like those costs couple of hundred) won’t work well ?

I have really hard water. I did a take home test that was free from the Morton water softeners at menards and it was between the two last colors. so I have pretty hard water. It is just my husband and I but we are planning on having a family so we want it to be able to work for a family of 4 or so. I don’t want to spend thousands of dollars either. Can you please help?
I recently had a pipe leak in a wall that my plumber aid was caused by "hard water." I was told a water softener would help reduce future problems. I also notice my shower heads clog after a few months because of mineral build-up. What are the price ranges for a good softener? What brands fare wll?
I live in an area with very hard water, and have had to replace two water heaters in 6 years due to sediment buildup. If I were to put in a whole-house water softening system, would that solve / reduce the hot water heater sediment problem? (That would not be the only reason for installing the water softener.) Thanks.
You would be surprised, but that is the only thing that works for me to clear up my skin. I have the most amazing skin now! Tap water is different everywhere and it affects your skin, sometimes negatively. I used to break out and get irritated from "hard water" - water with too many minerals in it.
Please list reasons why you personally chose to buy a water softener for your home in the order of most importance to least importance. And which brand did you choose?
Some reasons to stir up your mind: features of the water softener, the benefits to your home, cheaper than hard water, skin problems, less home cleaning, extending appliances, clothes, and so on.
All comments are great.
We have very hard water in our apartment. We bought a Pur Filter but that doesn’t help. I don’t use the water for my newborn’s formula, but I do use it to boil his bottle in. Is this harmful to him? What else can I do besides get a water softner? If the water is too bad, does my landlord have to get a softner?
We replaced our water softener and now it’s time for spring pickup. We can’t haul the water softener up the stairs with the salt in it. Any suggestions on how to dispose of it??
(to the answer about hard water, I’m a woman. thanks. I’ll be tougher next time i have hard water.)
I rack-dry my water glasses. I happen to live in an area with hard water. Over time, water spots have become more or less permanent on the glasses. Is there a way to remove these spots that isn’t too harsh-chemical-intensive?
