There are several reasons to get a water softening/refining system and one of those reasons is because it will literally protect your home, plumbing and appliances from unnecessary damages and repairs.
If you don't have a home water softener/refiner system then you more than likely have hard water since the city doesn't soften the water for you, they leave that decision up to homeowners. If you have hard water, then you have all the calcium and magnesium flowing through your entire home that can cause limescale buildup on everything including your pipes, your hot water heater and all your other appliances. You may even have hard water build up residue around your tub or on your shower doors or around your sinks and faucets and it can seem like it never stays clean.
Unfortunately, all this limescale build up from the calcium and magnesium in the water is the number one reason hot water heaters need to be replaced. All that limescale build up collects inside of it and makes it work 30% harder because it has to heat up all that residue first before heating up the water. Getting a home water softener/refiner can cause the lifespan of your hot water heater to last 15-20 years longer due to not having all that hard water mineral build up inside. So, while getting a water softener/refiner for your home may be an up-front investment it will save you a lot of money in the long run not having to replace that water heater so often.
A water softener will also help prevent your pipes from all the hard water minerals building up inside causing unnecessary leaks and also reduced water flow and if you have copper pipes then a water refiner will also help remove the chlorine from the water that the city puts in to kill all the bacteria and viruses. Chlorine can actually cause corrosion in the copper pipes leading to pin holes and leaks, yikes!
Your appliances will also have all these hard water minerals building up in them causing them to work harder and not only that you're also washing your clothes and dishes in it as well.
Even though it's an investment, getting a home water softener/refiner will actually pay for itself in the long run and you will actually see savings immediately due to not having to use nearly as much soaps, body wash, shampoos, laundry detergents etc. because the soft water doesn't eat up the soap the way hard water does saving homeowners on average around 80% on soaps and cleaning products so you will see the savings and results immediately.
A home water softener/refiner will also help clean out any residue build up you may already have in your pipes making everything nice and smooth and should also help water flow as well if you were already having reduced water flow in your home.
How it works is the water softener/refiner system works through an ion exchange, exchanging calcium and magnesium and replacing it with sodium causing your water to be nice and soft, cleaning out your pipes, and making all your appliances work smoothly, efficiently and lasting way longer.
