How Water Softening Is Good for Your Home Pipes

Hard water can dry out your skin and make your scalp feel itchy. It can contribute to limescale accumulation within pipes, restricting water flow. Another thing it can do is reduce the longevity of your appliances. A water softening system can help you avoid these issues. Read on to learn how.

What Are Water Softeners?

Water softeners remove calcium, magnesium and other minerals that cause water hardness. These systems work through a process known as ion exchange. It’s where resin beads within the softener trap calcium and magnesium and replace them with sodium or potassium ions. This exchange keeps limescale from forming inside pipes and appliances, contributing to enhanced efficiency and longer lifespan.

What Are Their Benefits?

Avoid Costly Plumbing Repairs

By eliminating mineral buildup that can corrode and clog pipes, a water softener can improve water flow, reducing the strain on your home’s plumbing system. It can help you avoid costly plumbing repairs and replacements, resulting in long-term savings and peace of mind.

Prolong the Life of Your Appliances

Beyond the pipes, water softeners can enhance the performance of appliances that use water, such as dishwashers, water heaters and refrigerators. A water softening system can prevent limescale accumulation, ensuring your appliances run optimally and consume less energy.

Enjoy Savings on Cleaning Products

Did you know that hard water can affect the effectiveness of soap and cleaning products? A water softener eliminates impurities from water, reducing the amount of soap or detergent you need for effective cleaning. After installing one, you might notice it’s easier to remove spots and stains from surfaces, especially glass.

Better Skin and Hair

Hard water could be to blame for your bad hair days and dry skin. Water softening can liven up and smoothen your hair. It can also help keep your skin moisturized and benefit people with eczema.

What Our Customers Say

Our Testimonials

We live a considerable distance away from the city where Rain Soft is located but have never had any problems with the system itself. We were proud to recommend it to our son when he brought the place from us. He has no problems as of this date. Thank you for your service!

Mike D.

Rainsoft is a great product that comes with great service. We feel it was an investment, but we feel it was worth it. We have the Ultrefiner Drinking Water System that we use for all of of water bottles on the go - they stay clean - no yellow or pink film…. The Water Conditioning System is efficient and we used about 6 bags of salt in the last year - active family of 2 with family stopping in. Would highly recommend Rainsoft.

Todd Davis

We have been with Rain soft since 1999. We recently purchased a new softener and decided to stay with Rain soft because of their excellent service and quality of product. We have had the reverse osmosis system since the beginning and have also added the chlorine removal tank. We enjoy having the quality water that our system provides us with. Thanks to rain soft. Brent and Carla Whitlock.

Will make this short. Had some problem with our water softener. Had water on the floor. It would make all kinds of noise and the our water softness was inconsistent. Lucas came and took the time to fix it right! Our water softener has never worked this well. Be sure to let Lucas know much we appreciated his work!!

Joan Wiuff

RainSoft has delivered excellent service and products since we installed a whole house water system more than 20 years ago. We recently replaced our refrigerator and RainSoft came the next day to connect the new water line for our ice/water. Prompt and friendly service!

Dorothy Sheldon

Blake was awesome and the warranty on the products is very good. Blake took the time to replace all potential problem parts in the system at no additional charge. Living in the country with well water is hard on the system but I don’t know what I would do without it. Blake also had some extra bags of salt on hand to save us a trip. Very professional and obviously took pride in doing things right!
