1. What is a water softener, and how does it work?
A water softener is a device that removes hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium from water, replacing them with sodium or potassium ions. This process, known as ion exchange, helps to reduce scale buildup in plumbing systems and appliances, leading to improved efficiency and longer lifespan of equipment.

Additionally, it can enhance the overall quality of your water, making it more pleasant for everyday use.
3. How do I know if I need a water softener?
Signs that you may need a water softener include the presence of scale buildup on faucets and fixtures, dry skin or hair after bathing, and the need for excessive soap to achieve lather.
