Water softeners are important home appliances that play a significant role in improving water quality and improving your household tasks, including laundry. Hard water, which contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, can leave behind mineral deposits and cause problems such as dingy clothes, stiff fabrics, and reduced effectiveness of laundry detergents. A water softener system has many benefits that can change your laundry routine and provide softer, cleaner clothes, and at Paragon Water, our goal is to help you achieve pure, healthy water throughout your home, even in your washer.
5 Benefits of Using a Water Softener for Your Laundry:
- Brighter, Softer Fabrics: Hard water minerals can build up on clothing fibers, leaving them dull, rough, and less absorbent. By using a water softener, you can prevent mineral deposits and other common water problems from forming and ensure that your clothes come out of the wash feeling softer and brighter.
- Increased Efficiency of Laundry Detergents: Hard water can interfere with the effectiveness of laundry detergents by forming insoluble soap scum that reduces lathering and cleaning power. A water softener removes these minerals, allowing detergents to work more efficiently and effectively at removing dirt and stains from your clothes.
- Reduced Wear and Tear on Clothing: Hard water can cause fabrics to become stiff and abrasive, leading to early wear and tear on clothing. By softening the water with a water softener system, you can extend the life of your clothes and keep them looking newer for longer.
- Less Soap Residue: Hard water can leave behind soap residue on clothing, which can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions for many people. A water softener helps to eliminate soap scum, ensuring that your clothes are thoroughly rinsed and free from residue that could irritate sensitive skin.
- Energy Savings: Soft water requires less energy to heat compared to hard water, resulting in lower energy bills and reduced environmental impact. By using a water softener, you can enjoy energy savings while also lengthening the life of your washing machine and other appliances.
How Our Water Softener Systems Work
Our water softener systems, like the Upflow Water Softener Series work by using ion exchange technology to remove calcium, magnesium, and other hard water minerals from the water supply. The system consists of a mineral tank filled with resin beads that attract and trap the mineral ions. When the resin beads become saturated with minerals, the water softener initiates a regeneration cycle where a brine solution is flushed through the tank to rinse trapped minerals. This process recharges the resin beads, allowing them to continue removing hard water minerals from the water supply.
