Top 5 Factors to Consider When Buying Water Softeners

March 26, 2021

When a home has hard water, there is a large amount of calcium and magnesium present in the water.

Many homeowners who realize their homes have hard water often look for ways to soften it. This is because hard water can cause the skin to feel dry and itchy, leave buildup around faucets, and even take a toll on appliances.

If you’re considering buying water softeners, you might be overwhelmed by the options out there. How do you choose the right water softener for your home? Here, we’re going to share the top factors to consider when purchasing a water softener. Just keep on reading to find out what they are!

1. Water Hardness Level

You can purchase water hardness test strips to use and determine the level of hardness of your water.

Since there are many water hardness levels, knowing how hard your water at home is will help you buy the perfect water softener.

2. Type of Water Softener

There are three main types of water softeners to be aware of: salt-based ion-exchange softener, salt-free water conditioner, and resin.

Salt-based ion-exchange softeners cycle water through two tanks, eliminating mineral residues. A salt-free water conditioner doesn’t entirely remove calcium and magnesium but rather changes how they act to cause issues.

Water softener resin is the most efficient way of removing hard water from the home. Read this article to find out more!

3. Quantity

Some situations will call for larger water softener systems than others.

To determine how large of a unit you will need, you’ll need to know how hard the water in your home is and how much you use. You can tell this information to a professional, and he or she will recommend a size.

4. Cost

When it comes to water softeners, there are many different features and sizes available. You should expect to pay between $1000 to $4000, but more advanced systems may cost you upwards of $5000.

Shop around to find out which system works for your budget! With so many options out there, you’re sure to find the perfect water softener for your home.

5. Maintenance

No matter which type of water softener system you choose, you will have to perform maintenance to ensure it’s working properly. Maintenance generally requires cleaning and salt restocking.

Your water softener system should come with some basic information, but if you have any other questions about maintenance and care, you can always ask your water softener providers.

Be Confident When Buying Water Softeners

There are many disadvantages when it comes to having hard water in your home. Now that you’re aware of the important factors to consider when buying water softeners, you can be confident that you’re purchasing the best products for your home. Good luck!
