Do you need a water softener for your home? That depends on the water problems you are facing. You need to test your water in order to find out. If you have “hard” water, that is water with a high concentration of minerals in it, then you can benefit from a water softener. If you want to purify your water and make it taste better, you may need a filtration or reverse osmosis system instead or in addition to a water softener. Once you know what water challenges you face, as well as how much treated water you need, you are closer to being ready to choose a water system. They vary in price, of course. You may find that the lower priced systems require you to clean then more often and require more frequent additions of salt. The type of salt your system will be needing also matters. When you have done your research, you will be ready to call in the professionals. Your local water treatment system specialist will be ready, willing, and able to recommend the perfect system for your home.
