North Star Explains Water Softener Benefits
Got Hard Water?
Roughly 85% of people in North America are supplied with hard water. So what exactly is hard water? It's basically water that has a whole bunch of minerals. That doesn't sound bad until you realize that those minerals deposit into every home appliance that needs water. Your dishwasher, coffee maker, refrigerator - just to name a few. Minerals like calcium and magnesium are the most notable minerals measured in water hardness. These minerals are the culprits when you notice your drinking glasses don't seem clean after taking them out of the dishwasher. That light film that you see or slightly "slimy" feeling even after washing your hands means you have hard water. Like most of us! A water softener from North Star can provide a whole-home solution to hard water!
Hard Water Symptoms
- Dry skin & hair
- Scale & soap scum
- Spotting on dishes and glassware
- Damage to water fixtures
- Reduced life of clothing
- Excess energy consumption
- Added cost of extra cleaning supplies
Maybe it's not your hair care products that are failing you. It might be your water! If you're building, remodeling, or simply tired of the effects of poor quality water, it's time to consider a water softener from North Star!
Soft Water Benefits
When you prevent hard water with a whole-house water softening system, you'll reap these benefits!
- Your skin and hair will be cleaner! That same film on your shower door ends up on you as well when you have hard water. Those minerals will actually repel water, leaving your hair thirsty for moisture!
- Your faucets, appliances, and shower will be easier to keep clean. Less minerals in your water = less buildup that is a pain to clean and a pain to your expensive appliances!
- Your clothes are going to last a little longer. They'll no longer be combating those dissolved minerals that can cause premature fading and brittleness.
- You'll save detergent and energy! You'll use up to 75% less detergent to get the same cleaning results. You'll make your water heater 30% more efficient!
- You paid a pretty penny for that new espresso maker and top-of-the line washer and dryer set. You'll be giving them a life extension by running them with soft water!
