Do You Need a Water Softener?
Everyone needs a water softener!
Did you know that over 85% of the United States has hard water?
It is a common misconception that water softeners are unnecessary unless you are on well water. We hear this day after day, and while cities do pretreat your water before you see it in your home, most of the time, they are only removing the harmful contaminants like any parasites, bacteria, or viruses that may be present. They do not treat the water for hardness. The average city water hardness in the US is between 15 and 20 grains per gallon of hardness. This means that even on city water you will experience the same negative effects of hard water as somebody on well water would experience plus more from the added chlorine.
Of course, those with well water should look into water softeners as well. In our area alone, we have seen well water hardness levels over 100 grains per gallon! Water softeners will also remove small amounts of iron and manganese as well, so sometimes you can completely treat your water with just a water softener alone.
