Water Softeners

---

Do you have a crusty build up on your faucets, shower head, and dish washer?

Hardness is a common problem throughout Whidbey Island.

We sell Top of the line Softeners to remedy this problem.

In the Bathroom:

• Soap and shampoo will lather better.
• Hair and skin will feel noticeably cleaner, softer, and not as dry.
• No soap scum or mineral deposits to clean off sinks, showers, tubs and toilets.

In the Laundry:

• Clothes will be softer, cleaner, whiter and brighter.
• Using soft water and pure soap products increases the life of clothing, towels and linens up to 50%.

In the Kitchen:

• Dishes will clean with ease and be spot free!
• No gray film on glasses etched by mineral-laden water.
• Plus hands will feel softer and look better.

Appliances:

Water-using appliances will last longer and run better with soft water because hot water heaters, washing machines and dishwashers used with hard water can wear out 70% faster due to calcium that builds up over time.

Most water softeners  are ion exchange systems. In these systems, hardness ions (calcium and magnesium) are exchanged for salt (sodium or potassium) ions.

• The exchange takes place within the resin tank of the water softener. When water flows through the tank it comes in contact with small resin beads that are covered with salt ions.
  
• As water flows through the resin beads, hardness ions trade places with salt ions. 
  
• (Note: For those with health concerns there is more salt in a slice of bread than in a liter of water.)
  

As larger volumes of water are softened, the beads become exhausted and contain nothing but hardness ions .

• The beads are recharged by adding bags of salt to the brine tank. Recharging works the same as softening but in reverse.
  
• The hardness ions swap places with the salt ions in the brine tank and excess minerals are rinsed into the wastewater drain.
