Thoughts on water softener maintenance:

The cure for hard water is a water softener. These systems remove the minerals that deposit on surfaces and keep your shampoo and soap from lathering properly. Maintenance can be a chore, though. There are automated systems that require less maintenance, though they come at a higher price. For the best in water quality and convenience, consider having your local water treatment specialist install and maintain a system that is ideal for your home and family.
