If your home is supplied with hard water, you need a water softener. Not only will your personal care be easier, more pleasant, and more effective, your appliances, pipes, and fixtures will be safe from mineral deposits and damage. As great as it is to have soft water, the maintenance required is a matter for thought. Lower priced systems require frequent checks, cleaning, and maintenance. While automatic systems do some of their own cleaning, they still must be checked and the salt supply renewed. You will need to check the resin bed on any system. Although the resin bed should last for years, it must be checked for buildup of iron, growth of algae, or visible bacterial build up. For the ultimate in ease of use and maximum function, consider having a professional water treatment service in to install and maintain your home water softener system
