What is a Water Softener?
A water softener system removes hard minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium, from your home’s water supply. This helps prevent hard water problems such as stained sinks, soap scum, and scale buildup. Most systems operate using the ion exchange process, which replaces hard minerals with sodium or potassium ions. This process converts hard water into soft water, protects plumbing, extends appliance life, and improves water for bathing, cleaning, and laundry.

Limescale buildup on fixtures:
White, chalky residue on faucets and showerheads.
Dry skin and hair:
Mineral residue can irritate skin and leave hair dry or brittle.
Soap not lathering properly:
Hard water reduces soap efficiency, leaving scum on dishes, clothes, and surfaces.
Stained sinks and tubs:
Mineral deposits create stubborn discoloration.

Types of Water Softeners
Choosing the right water softener depends on your home’s water hardness levels, maintenance preferences, and the specific hard water problems you are experiencing.
Salt-Based Water Softeners
Salt-based systems use the ion exchange process to replace calcium and magnesium with sodium or potassium ions. This prevents scale buildup, protects plumbing, and provides consistent soft water throughout your home. Salt-based water softeners are ideal for Central Oregon households with high water hardness levels.
Salt-Free Water Softeners
Salt-free systems are best for homeowners looking to reduce scale buildup without adding sodium, but they do not remove hardness minerals like a traditional softener.
