This section for water softener reviews will take on the top softener models available today.
A water softener is a self contained device. It connects directly to the water supply in order to treat the hard water that goes into a home. It works by removing “hard minerals” like magnesium, calcium and some other types of metal cations. The result of this is that the only water going into your home will be soft water. Soft water means no more limescale stains and, more lather from soap and the extended lifetime of your appliances and plumbing.
Water softeners come in all shapes, sizes and capacities. This means that you will always be able to find the right fit for your needs. Modern water softeners are so well designed that you may be able to install it yourself with basic plumbing skills. Installing it yourself is also a great idea because it means you will find it easier to maintain.
There are many benefits to buying and installing a water softener. These benefits range from energy efficiency to the extended lifespan of your home appliances and electronics.

Here Are The Biggest Problems With Novo Water Softener It’s a very small brand so there aren’t a lot of customer reviews or feedback available online to help decide if it’s worth it. “Novo” sounds way too much like “Nuvo.” Nuvo is a better known brand that provides a similar range of products. Even search…

Read this Costco Water Softener review before making that purchase! Using your Costco membership to get a softener means you only have 1 softener option: EcoWater.

Why I Am No Longer Recommending Tier1 The original version of this article recommended Tier1 but this is no longer the case for the following reason. Tier1 does NOT filter your water.

Why ScaleBlaster Might Not Be Worth It ScaleBlasters treat hard water by reducing how much the minerals stick to your pipes and plumbing.

Why You Should NOT Buy The Eddy Descaler The Eddy electronic water descaler is a salt-free solution for hard water problems. Now it is very important that we clarify something before proceeding.
