Water is hard when it contains minerals like magnesium and calcium. You may see staining on your sinks, tubs, showers, and clothing.
Water softening means expanding the life span of household machine, such as laundry machines, and the life span of pipelines.
Keeps skin and hair healthy looking Dishes are cleaner, with less soap and hard water spotting.
Tubs, showers, and sinks are easier to clean, thanks to reduced hard water build-up
Clothes are softer, cleaner, brighter, and last longer
Keeps all fixtures from scaling and corrosion Saves time, money and energy
Towels washed in water softened by Crystal Quest softeners need 1/3 less detergent and come out 45% whiter .
Water travels through 3 stages of filtration:
First stage, water flows through a 20" sediment cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand and dirt. Also extends the life of water softeners and water filters, and prevents damage to control valves.
Second stage, water flows through an ion exchange mineral tank and brine water conditioner.
Third stage water flows through a 20" solid carbon cartridge for removing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOC's), insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents.
Also hard water causes a higher risk of lime scale deposits in household water systems.
Due to this lime scale build-up, pipes are blocked and the efficiency of hot boilers and tanks is reduced.
This increases the cost of domestic water heating by about fifteen to twenty percent.
Another negative effect of lime scale is that it has damaging effects on household machinery, such as laundry machines.
It also contributes to the improved working, and longer lifespan of solar heating systems, air conditioning units and many other water-based applications
Water is softened or conditioned by replacing hard ions like magnesium and calcium with softer sodium or potassium ions.
Water softeners must be regenerated regularly, renewing their ability to remove hardness from water.
Time-initiated or solid state softeners regenerate at a fixed time when their softening capacity is predicted to be low.
Demand-initiated softeners regenerate automatically when they sense their capacity is low.
All components are the highest quality in the industry and NSF approved.
