Many homeowners may be unfamiliar with the concept of hard water. Water hardness is measured by mineral content, particularly magnesium and calcium carbonates. Since water is a solvent that easily collects impurities as it moves through soil and rock, these minerals get tracked into the fluid. Having hard water running through your home can be a bothersome experience due to the mineral buildup in your plumbing. Additionally, hard water can diminish the effectiveness of soap and detergent.
With all of the issues that can arise as a result of hard water, it is important to find a water softener system that can enhance your home. At Paragon Water, we are committed to providing Texas and Colorado residents with high-quality water conditioning systems. Our team has built a number of softeners and filters that can benefit your water usage. Continue reading to learn more about the best water softener system for your needs, and get a quote today!
Soft Water Benefits
Conceptualizing soft water is easy: all you need to do is imagine the benefits of having a cleaner, more efficient water supply. You can reap many advantages by installing a soft water system in your home. First, water softeners can save you money. Because hard water is denser, it takes more energy to heat up. This is evidenced by the extra approximate $100 that water heaters operating with hard water cost on an annual basis. The density of hard water also adds up in terms of cleaning product usage. More soap and detergent are needed to effectively clean when you are using water that is rich with minerals. In turn, you end up using around 50% more product and spending close to $90 more per year.
Doing your laundry can also be easier with soft water. Hard water can damage your clothing and fabrics as they go through the laundry because of the high mineral count. Washing your clothes in these conditions makes them vulnerable to mineral deposits that can build up and soil the fabric. Not only does this damage the look of the clothing and towels, but it can also make them harder and rougher. Of course, this can be irritating throughout the day, but it can also be frustrating when you dry yourself off with a coarse towel. If you want to keep your clothes soft, look to keep your water soft too. Investing in some of the best water softener systems on the market can help prevent your clothes from fading, looking dingy, and feeling uncomfortable.
Perhaps the greatest benefit of operating your home with soft water is how it gently treats your plumbing and appliances. While hard water ushers minerals into your pipes and causes disruptive clogs, soft water will not. Rather than spending money on plumbers to fix these issues, you can live an easier existence at home. You shouldn’t have to think about your water. But when your water is hard, you have to. From the damage caused in a washing machine to the troublesome issues that arise in pipes, the lingering problems of hard water can take a toll on your wallet and your home. This is why it is important to consider soft water when you are looking for an alternative that will provide cost savings, energy savings, and more.
Downflow Water Softener System
Downflow regeneration is the simplest type of water softener system. This type of regenerative system uses a small condenser that is placed under your sink, which sends the softened water back through a pipe to the tank. At Paragon Water, we offer our basic Downflow Water Softener Series which offers premium cation resin media. Through a straightforward process, the water is conditioned to be easier on your piping and appliances. The conditioning sequence begins by flowing the water into the softener tank through an upper basket. From there, it is returned through the filter into a bottom basket. This fresh, filtered water is then brought back through the riser tube where it is released from the tank and into your pipes. This exhaustive process is speedy and effective. You will no longer have to deal with soap curd and scaly build-up when you invest in water conditioning services.

Upflow Water Softener System
Upflow technology works great for softening water because the process of upflow is prevalent throughout many home water outlets. This type of system moves water through a metal tube. The metal tube is constantly stored with salt that can be regenerated to let the water pass through again. With the Upflow Water Softener Series from Paragon Water, the water of your home will be ushered through an upper basket before entering a riser tube. From there, it will collect in a lower basket where it swirls upward through the filter. With the rounded tank at the bottom of the system, the technology should work seamlessly to remove the calcium and magnesium from your water.
Unlike downflow systems, upflow regeneration is less reliant on salt and cuts down on salt usage by up to 75%. Order the Upflow Water Softener Series for whole home healthy water today!
Filter + Softener Combo Series
For the best all-in-one high-efficiency softening and filtration system, purchase the Filter + Softener Combo Series from Paragon Water. This effective water conditioning system combines the healthy attributes of a water softener with those of a carbon filter. In a tight, space-saving tank, you can effectively protect your home from scale build-up caused by chlorine and other contaminants.
We haven’t mentioned chlorine yet, but it can create issues for some homeowners when there is an excess amount of the chemical. We often associate chlorine with cleaning pools and the healthy smell of swimming, but it can also be harsh to your water if you have a lot of chlorine in your water supply. In the same way that magnesium and calcium can lead to plumbing damage and cleaning issues, chlorine does that and more. It can create problems with dry skin and hair along with emanating a poor odor and unsatisfactory drinking water. With the Filter + Softener Combo Series, you can resolve all of these issues while also addressing the problems associated with hard water. Order yours today for the best of both worlds!
Water softeners are designed to soften the water and remove the minerals in it. With hard water, these minerals cause problems for homeowners because they can build up and develop scales in your pipes which can clog. Additionally, they can create soap scum and prevent you from optimally cleaning yourself. At Paragon Water, we have a number of options for resolving these problems. Either choose the basic route of our Downflow Water Softener Series, our more efficient Upflow Water Softener Series, or our all-in-one Filter + Softener Combo Series hybrid.
