The presence of excess minerals such as calcium and magnesium makes water hard. Hard water leads to a variety of problems such as foul plumbing, scaling, galvanic corrosion, dry skin, and brittle hair. A water softener is a unit that is used to soften water by removing the minerals that cause the water to be hard. The water softeners exchange salts of calcium and magnesium with sodium to convert hard water into soft water. Soft water helps in generating extra lather for superior and brighter washing.
Connecting the water softeners with the overhead storage tanks, washing machines, or geysers will ensure that the water you use is softened before you use. Soft water produces more lather, uses less detergent, prevents scaling in the shower, increases the life of the electronic appliances and also consumes less water for different household chores.
